When a certain sugar is tested with an iodine solution can you tell what type it is?
It depends if it is starch, yes. Other sugar, NO!
Why are resonance structures used to model certain molecules?
Because some covalent compounds have more then one valid Lewis dot structure
What process do certain prokaryotes use nitrates or sulfates rather than oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor?
"Anaerobic respiration" doesn't require oxygen. True anaerobic respiration involves an electron acceptor other than oxygen. Bacteria are capable of using a wide variety of compounds as terminal electron acceptors in respiration: nitrogenous compounds (such as nitrates and nitrites), sulfur compounds (such as sulfates, sulfites, sulfur dioxide, and elemental sulfur), carbon dioxide, iron compounds, manganese compounds, cobalt compounds, and uranium compounds.

What causes nutrients in the top soil to be removed?
Soil erosion and certain human activities causes the nutrients in the top soil to be removed.
Why did the supersaturated solution begin to drop small crystals when the additional sodium thiosulfate was added?
The supersaturated solution begin to drop small crystals when the additional sodium thiosulfate was added because the supersaturated solution got reverted back to a saturated solution. Every solution has it;s own level of saturation, at a certain temperature a limit of the solute can be disolved in it, if you heat the solution the limit changes and more of the solute can be added in the solution. This is a supersaturated solution.When you drop an extra crystal into a supersaturated solution, all the extra crystals that aren't suppose to be in it crystalize out of the solution.
What elements are essential to life what are their chemical symbols?
Every living being is made of organic compounds. All the organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen. Other than that, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur are present in them.
What has the author Donald Duane Miller written?
Donald Duane Miller has written: 'Fundamental factors affecting germicidal activities of certain hypochlorite and quaternary ammonium compounds' -- subject(s): Disinfection and disinfectants, Ammonium compounds as disinfectants
Is vinegar an element?

Research indicates that acid precipitation can damage living organisms by?
Washing away certain mineral ions that help buffer soil solution and are essential for plant growth
Are there certain ways of naming compounds?
no

What the meaning of saturated?
of Saturate, Filled to repletion; holding by absorption, or in solution, all that is possible; as, saturated garments; a saturated solution of salt., Having its affinity satisfied; combined with all it can hold; -- said of certain atoms, radicals, or compounds; thus, methane is a saturated compound. Contrasted with unsaturated.

Is 10 percent ammonia considered a quaternary ammonium compound?
No. 10 percent ammonia is simply a solution of ammonia in water. An ammonium compound is a kind of compound formed by reacting ammonia with certain organic compounds.
Is old age home a solution?
In certain circumstances it is an ideal solution.
What are the clinical applications of colorimeter?
A colorimeter is used to measure the absorbance of specific wavelengths of light by a particular solution. This is used to determine the concentration of a known solute in a solution using Beer's law. This law states that the concentration of a solute is proportional to the absorbance.
What is a suffix used in forming the names of certain elements and compounds?
ium
