What is the solute and solvent of hair conditioner?

the solute in hair conditioner would be the moisters and the sovent would be the water that you start off with to make the conditioner. I hope that helps:), i askeed my teacher about that, and that is the answer that she told me.


What does the scientific word for solvent mean?

A solvent is the substance that the solute is mixed into to form a solution. For instance, water would be the solvent of the ocean, because salt mixes with it to form salt water. If it helps, remember that the size of the words can be used to help you remember this. Solute goes in Sovent to form Solution.


How is hydrocarbon removed from soil?

That would depend on the hydrocarbon. If you're talking about volatile hydrocarbons or aromatic hydrocarbons, often several holes are drilled, sort of like shallow wells, and several pumps are set up to pull the hydrocarbons out of the soil. That process usually takes a long time and is reserved for the most harmful types of hydrocarbons. If it's a shallow spill and not considered to be as hazardous, such as fuel, sovent or other contaminants, often the soil is just dug up, put in a pile and the pile is periodically "turned" to allow the contaminant to evaporate. For more hazardous waste, it is often necessary to send it to a special landfill that is designed to handle that type of material.


What is difference between a substance that is solube in water and one that is insolube in water?

There is no such thing as a soluble precipitate A precipitate a solid that is formed in a chemical reaction, therefor only a insoluble precipitate can occur, and the soluble would remain as a soluble solution. The difference between a soluble and insoluble precipitate is that a insoluble precipitate is incapable of dissolving in a liquid, and a solid is formed in the reaction, where as the soluble substance will dissolve in the liquid.


Why is sugar soluble in water?

Water tends to dissolve substances that are made up of either polar molecules or ions. If a molecule is nonpolar, however, water is not attracted to it, since a nonpolar molecule has on net electrical charges in it. Olive oil and canola oil, for example, are made up of nonpolar molecules. So, sugar is soluble in water, because it is a polar molecule just like salt.

Why is sugar is the solute?

Solute is the substance that is dissolved. The solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute. If you put sugar in a glass of warm water the sugar is the solute and the water is the sovent

Indicate the principal type of solute-sovent interaction and rank the solutions from weakest to strongest interaction KCl in water and Ch2Cl2 in benzene C6H6 and CH3OH in H2O?

For KCl in water, the interaction is ion-dipole, which is a strong interaction. For CH2Cl2 in benzene, the interaction is dipole-dipole, which is weaker than ion-dipole. For C6H6 and CH3OH in H2O, the interaction is hydrogen bonding, which is stronger than dipole-dipole. Therefore, rank from weakest to strongest would be: CH2Cl2 in benzene, C6H6 and CH3OH in H2O, KCl in water.


How do you check an electronic egr valve in a 97 cavalier?

There's not much you can check: it's a non-servicable part. If it's giving you troubles there's two options: A) there is a controller which I can't think of the name or acronym of at the moment and B) the solenoid itself. Your OBD code would dictate where you start, but in my decidedly un-professional opinion, I'd follow this path either way. Find the EGR and clean it real well with carb cleaner (or other carbon sovent) avoiding solvent getting into the upper parts of the solenoid, re-install and see how it works. Alternatively, if you have the $150 just replace it. Otherwise, you'd have to bring it to a shop to make sure the controller is working properly. This situation is rare, so I'd definitely try replacing the EGR before I'd go to the shop.


Why isn't water vapor that comes off the ocean salty?

When water evaporates, only the water molecules are lifted into the atmosphere, leaving behind salt and other impurities. As the water vapor cools and condenses to form clouds, it undergoes a purification process that removes the salts, resulting in fresh water precipitation.
