Is distilled water ionic or molecular?
Distilled water still has the same molecular composition (H2O). By distilling it, one just removes some contaminations by virtue of higher volatility of dissolved impurities. H2O exists in its Inter-molecular Hydrogen bonded state. Hence the possibility of finding ions in distilled water is less.
Why does water generally move in the opposite direction of dissolved substances?
Diffusion is the process of a substance moving from an area of a higher concentration to a lower concentration. In this scenario the dissolved substance is the higher concentration and the water would go to an area with the lower concentration.
When table salt and sugar are dissolved in water it is observed that the boiling point of 0.10 m Na-Cl is higher than that of 0.10 m?
Na+ ions and Cl- ions are formed from salt ... twice as many particles are dissolved as the sugar. So the boiling point will be higher for the salt solution.
What bodies of water have more dissolved oxygen?
Bodies of water that are well-oxygenated, usually have higher levels of dissolved oxygen. These include rivers and streams with fast-moving water, as well as colder water bodies like lakes and oceans. Additionally, bodies of water that are heavily influenced by algal blooms or photosynthetic processes tend to have higher dissolved oxygen levels during daylight hours.
Why is it harder to boil water with salt?
It's not "harder", it just requires a slightly higher temperature.
Does buffer capacity depend on the amount of buffers present?
Yes. The higher the number of buffers, the higher the buffer capacity.

Which has higher water potential pure water or distilled water?
distilled! :D
Will the pH of a buffer solution be higher or lower than the pH of a weak acid?
The pH of buffer solution will be higher (Less acidic) than the corresponding acid because the common ion effect in buffer mixture suppressed the ionization of acid.
What water will rust a nail the fastest tap water salt water or distilled?
Distilled water will rust a nail faster as distilled water contains higher levels of OXYGEN which is what causes OXIDATION or commonly referred to as rust...
Is gravity the same everywhere?
No, it's slightly lower at higher altitudes, slightly higher near dense rock formations.
Does dissolved baking soda lose its alkaline properties?
That depends on the acidity of the water it is dissolved in. the higher the acid the more is lost.
What do you mean by concenteration in chemistry?
It refers to the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent. Say, for example, you were making a salt water solution. The higher the amount of salt dissolved in the water, the higher the concentration of the solution.
Does temperature affect the amount of sugar that dissolves in water?
Sugar that is dissolved in hot water, dissolves faster than sugar dissolved in cold water.
What factors determine the buffering capacity of a solution?
The concentration of the buffer (the higher the concentration, the larger the buffering capacity) and how close the pKa of the buffer is compared to the pH of the solution (the closer the greater the buffer capacity).See the Related Questions to the left for more information on buffers.
What is the process by which water carries dissolved minerals from higher to lower?
Leaching
What are some examples for hypotonic solution and its components?
Hypotonic actually stems from the early British invention of Tonic Water. Hypo, meaning "low," describes a Tonic Water that would have been stored on the bottom shelf. These were typically known to be of a lesser quality than the top shelf tonics, or "hyper" tonics. Therefore, hypotonic simply describes a lower quality solution, versus hypertonic, which describes a higher quality solution.
