How is a hypertonic solution different from a hypotonic solution?
Hypotonic solution has much less particles dissolved inside the solvent than there is in the cell floating in the mixture. A hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of particles dissolved in the solvent than inside the cell.
What is non isotonic solution?
A non-isotonic solution is one that has a different solute concentration compared to another solution, typically referring to the comparison with intracellular fluid in biological contexts. In a non-isotonic solution, cells may either swell (if the solution is hypotonic, having a lower solute concentration) or shrink (if the solution is hypertonic, having a higher solute concentration) due to the movement of water across the cell membrane. This osmotic pressure difference can affect cell function and integrity.
Why only phenol dissolve in aqueous NaOH?
Phenol is not dissolved in a sodium hydroxide solution; having the characteristics of a weak acid phenol react with NaOH.
Why aqueous copper sulphate solution conduct electricity but solid copper sulphate does not?
Aqueous copper sulfate solution contains free ions (Cu2+ and SO4 2-) that can carry electrical charge and allow the solution to conduct electricity. In contrast, solid copper sulfate does not contain free ions and is unable to conduct electricity because the ions are locked in a fixed position within the solid lattice.
What do you mean by semi-molar?
Semi-molar refers to a solution that is halfway between being molar (having a concentration of 1 mole of solute per liter of solution) and being dilute. It typically refers to a solution where the concentration falls between 0.1 to 1 mole per liter.
Is an aqueous solution a system having a uniform composition and appearance?
Yes, an aqueous solution is a system having a uniform composition and appearance. If the solution is saturated, only the solution above the solid material will be uniform.
Is ammnia an acid or a base?
"Ammonia", NH3, is a fairly strong base having at 1M concentration in aqueous solution a pH of 11.6
Why aqueous sodium carbonate solution is basic in nature?
Na2CO3 +H2O----->HCO3++OH-HERE HCO3- IS A WEAK ACID AND OH- IS A STRONG BASE
Having the same solute concentration as another solution?
Isotonic
What makes a solution acidic or alkaline?
A solution is acidic when it has a high concentration of hydrogen ions (H+). An alkaline solution, also known as basic, has a high concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-). The concentration of these ions determines the pH of a solution, with acidic solutions having a pH below 7 and alkaline solutions having a pH above 7.
What does it mean to be acidic and basic?
Both must be in solution, aqueous, to fit the definition, which is; an acidic solution has enough hydronium ion concentration to hydroxide concentration to have a pH lower than 7.0, while a basic solution has enough hydroxide ion concentration to be at a pH higher than 7.0. An acid and base are different in definition. Subtle, but a real difference.
Is there alternatives to measure the electrical resistance of powder without having to compress them?
I am not 100% sure, but if you add the powder into a aqueous solution contaning electrolytes and compared the conductivity before and after you added the powder into the aqueous solution, it may display a difference in conductivity.
What should be hydrogen ion concentration of a solution having pH 11 state whether it is acidic or basic?
The hydrogen ion concentration of a solution with a pH of 11 is 1 x 10^-11 M. A solution with a pH of 11 is considered basic, as it indicates a lower concentration of hydrogen ions and a higher concentration of hydroxide ions.
What properties do acids exhibit when they are in an aqueous solution?
Acids in an aqueous solution exhibit properties such as turning blue litmus paper red, reacting with metals to produce hydrogen gas, and having a sour taste. They also conduct electricity and have a pH below 7.
What term is descriptive of the solution with the higher solute concentration?
The term "hypertonic solution" is used to describe a solution with a higher solute concentration compared to another solution. In a hypertonic solution, water tends to move out of cells, which can lead to cell shrinkage or crenation.
How is a hypertonic solution different from a hypotonic solution?
Hypotonic solution has much less particles dissolved inside the solvent than there is in the cell floating in the mixture. A hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of particles dissolved in the solvent than inside the cell.
What is the nature of an aqueous solution of borax?
An aqueous solution of borax is basic in nature due to the presence of borate ions. Borax can dissociate to release sodium ions and borate ions in water, which can accept protons to form hydroxide ions. This results in the solution having a pH greater than 7.
