The hydrogen bonds between water molecules and respectively hydrogen bonds between ethanol molecules are broken by mixing; new hydrogen bonds are formed between water and ethanol molecules - this second process is exothermic.

Does sea water boil at higher temperature than tap water and why?

Yes. Dissolved substances increased the boiling point.


What is a real life example of dissolved water?

A drop of water in a jar of pure alcohol would be water dissolved in alcohol.


Brine is to salt as punch is to?

Brine is salt dissolved in water; Punch is alcohol dissolved in water - therefore "Brine is to salt as punch is to alcohol." baking


What happens to solubility of alcohol in water when the amount of alcohols is gradually increased?

As more alcohol is added to water, the solubility of alcohol in water generally increases. This is because alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, making it easier for the alcohol to dissolve. However, there may be a limit to how much alcohol can dissolve in water depending on the type of alcohol and temperature.


What is the color when alcohol is dissolved in water?

It would depend on the colour of the alcohol and the quantity versus the quantity of the water.


What will happen to the concentration of CO2 in THE WATER if it is heated?

Solubility of CO2 in water decreases with temperature, so as temperature is increased, the concentration of CO2 decreases.


how does temperature affect the concentration of dissolved oxygen?

Temperature has a direct effect on the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water. As the temperature of the water increases, the solubility of oxygen decreases and the concentration of dissolved oxygen will decrease. Conversely, as the temperature of the water decreases, the solubility of oxygen increases and the concentration of dissolved oxygen will increase. Additionally, warmer water is generally less dense than colder water, resulting in less efficient oxygen transfer.


As water temperature increases dissolved oxygen does what?

As water temperature increases, the solubility of oxygen decreases. This means that warmer water holds less dissolved oxygen than cooler water. This can have negative impacts on aquatic life as they rely on oxygen dissolved in water for respiration.


Brine is to salt as punch is to .?

Brine is salt dissolved in water; Punch is alcohol dissolved in water - therefore "Brine is to salt as punch is to alcohol."


Do alcohol at ordinary temperature has liquid or gaseous state?

Ethanol (the kind of alcohol you get in drinks) is liquid at room temperature. It boils at around 78'C, so will become a vapour at this point.


What can cause dissolved oxygen levels to decrease?

Dissolved oxygen levels can decrease due to factors such as high water temperature, increased organic matter or pollution, excessive plant growth leading to oxygen depletion during decomposition, and reduced mixing of water layers.


Why is temperature of boiling water cannot be measured using an alcohol thermometer?

Alcohol thermometers are not suitable for measuring the temperature of boiling water because alcohol has a lower boiling point than water. The alcohol inside the thermometer would evaporate before reaching the temperature of boiling water, therefore providing an inaccurate reading.
