What are the solid substances that dissolve in a water?
They are potential solutes.
How does adding salt to water affect the temperature?
It does not affect the temperature of the water, but solutes raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point.
Why is the boiling point of ocean water higher than the boiling point of tap water?
Ocean water contains a number of solutes. The addition of any solute to pure water raises its temperature.
What caused osmosis?
Osmosis is the passive diffusion of water across a partially permeable (or semipermeable) membrane with a net transport from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential. High water potential means there is a relatively low concentration of solutes (a low solute potential), whereas low water potential has a higher concentration of solutes (also known as a high solute potential). The partially permeable membrane is selective to particles due to the small size of the pores in the membrane, which is not large enough to allow solutes to pass across it, but is large enough to allow water molecules to pass across. The process is passive, meaning no energy input is required, as it is a result of the random movement of water molecules in solution. During osmosis, water molecules will move in both directions, but will equilibrate when the water potential on each side is equal, and as a result there will have been a net movement of water down a concentration gradient. At this equilibrium, water molecules will continue to travel across the membrane, but at an equal rate in each direction, so that no further net change occurs.
How will addition of water affect the acidity of a highly acidic solution having pH 2?
The addition of water can affect the acidity of a highly acidic solution in one major way. This addition will bring the pH up closer to 7.
What are the solid substances that dissolve in a water?
They are potential solutes.
How does pH of water affect evaporation and boiling?
For boiling and evaporaton solutes of water counts.
How does adding salt to water affect the temperature?
It does not affect the temperature of the water, but solutes raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point.
Does sugar affect the freezing point of ice of water?
Yes it does. All solutes do.
The rate of evaporation decreases when common salt is added to water why?
Solutes affect the physical properties of water.
How do solutes behave in a solvent?
strring , grinding, and temperature affect the speed which a solid dissolves in water.
Why does the addition of a solute with polar molecules to one side of a membrane result in diffusion of water?
Addition of a polar solute lowers the water potential on that side of the membrane and so water will diffuse from the other side of the membrane from a relatively high water potential to the lower water potential, by osmosis.
What are two ways that solutes affect the properties of solvent?
Solutes lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of a solvent! :)
Why is the boiling point of ocean water higher than the boiling point of tap water?
Ocean water contains a number of solutes. The addition of any solute to pure water raises its temperature.
How do the solutes affect the frezzing pointand boiling points?
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature and boils at a higher temperature.
What water has no solutes in it?
Distilled water.
