Is sugar dissolves in water?
A homogeneous mixture
Does seltzer water have carbon dioxide?
seltzer water is carbonated water and the word carbonated means that is contains carbon dioxide. but more importantly than that is the "bubbles" you see in all soda is carbon dioxide gas that has been pressurized into the liquid.
What is a basic substance?
There are three definitions. A substance that produces hydroxide (OH-) ions in water. A substance that accepts a proton (H+ ion). An electron pair donor.
In science terms what does slightly basic mean?
"Slightly basic" refers to the pH of the substance being described. A neutral substance has an equal number of H+ and OH- ions, whereas acids have most H+ and bases have more OH-. A slightly basic substance probably has a pH between 8 and 9, since neutral is 7. The lower the pH (1-6) indicates the substance is acidic. A pH of 8 through 14 indicates basic substance.
Does boiling water have oxygen?
There are two different ways to ask this question, each dealing with two different ways that water can "have" oxygen in it. It is important to understand the question being asked because each interpretation has a different answer. 1. Does boiling water contain dissolved oxygen? 2. Does water contain oxygen? The answers: 1. No, boiling water does not contain dissolved oxygen. The hotter a substance is, the more energy the molecules have. There are gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) dissolved in cold water. As the temperature increases, these gases gain energy which lets them escape from the liquid water in which they are trapped. To relate this phenomenon to something encountered in daily life, a cold can of Coca-Cola has more fizz than a warm one. The fizz is the result of gases escaping from the cold liquid. The warmer Coca-Cola does not contain as much dissolved gas, so it is "flat." 2. Yes, water contains oxygen. The molecular formula for water is H2O, meaning that there are two covalently bonded hydrogens to each oxygen. Change this formula, and you don't have something that can be called "water" anymore. A common misconception is that the process of boiling creates oxygen and hydrogen gases (O2 and H2), which is simply not true. The act of boiling water imparts energy to the liquid water molecules. This energy is enough to break the hydrogen bonds that hold the water molecules together in liquid form. Once these bonds are broken, the water molecules vaporize and go from being H2O (liquid) to H2O (gas). Therefore, the vapor produced as water boils is water vapor. Before the boiling point is reached, you can see the dissolved gases initially present in the cold water (for example, CO2 and O2) forming bubbles and rising to the top. Remember, these were initially present-- they are not a result of the covalent O-H bonds in water being broken as part of the boiling process. The covalent O-H bonds are not broken during boiling, only water vapor is formed.
What is a substance that can release a H ion when dissolved in water?
An acid.
What compound does H form when dissolved in water?
When H is dissolved in water, it forms hydronium, or H3O. It is commonly known as a synthesis reaction.
When dissolved in water an acid is a compound that?
An acid, when dissolved in water yields H+ ions. In water they would be hydrated and be H3O+
If a substance dissociates and forms an excess of h positive ions when dissolved in watr it is referred to as?
acid
What compound which furnishes hydrogen ion as the only positively charged ion when dissolved in water?
An acid furnishes an H+ when dissolved in water.
Do acids create hydroxide ions when dissolved in water?
No, acids do not create hydroxide (OH-) ions when dissolved in water. Acids create Hydrogen (H+) ions when dissolved in water.Bases create hydroxide ions when dissolved in water.
What acids can do not dissolve in water?
Acids release hydrogen+ ions (H+) when dissolved in water
What is the chemical symbol for Hydrogen bromide when dissolved in water?
H+ + Br-
What cation is formed when acids are dissolved in water?
A hydrogen ion. H +
What is meant by water of crystallisation in a substance?
H
What chemical substance is formed when the Ohs and H's are joined?
This substance is water.
What is a compound that adds H ions from a solution?
an acid dissolved in water produce H+, a base dissolved in water removes H+ Question wording is unclear what process is meant.
