What else can I help you with?
Aquatic animals such as fish and frogs are especially good indicators of pollution because?
Because many chemicals are water soluble and enter organism's tissues through drinking or absorption. Just an FYI that answer has been copied verbatim from my Environmental Biology textbook Essential Environment: Third Edition.
What is the most imortant organic compound in living organisms?
water, believe it or not H20 doesn't contain carbon - is not organic
How many wordsin water for elephants?
1060 words.
The environment stores many materials the atmosphere stores a lot of what?
The atmosphere stores gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. These gases play a crucial role in regulating Earth's temperature and providing the necessary conditions for life to thrive.
What plant lives under water?
Plants such as seaweed, duckweed, algae, water lilies, etc. It all depends on whether it is fresh water or salt water.
Do ionic compounds such as chloride dissolves easily in water?
I classify that as an overstatement. It is true that a great many ionic compounds are highly soluble in water, but not all of them.
Are ionic bonds soluble in water?
Ionic bonds are not soluble in water because they are not individual entities that can dissolve. However, ionic compounds, which are formed by ionic bonds, can often dissolve in water because the individual ions can separate and disperse in the water through the process of ionization.
Is an ionic compound soluble in water?
Ionic compounds are often soluble in water due to the ability of water molecules to surround and disperse the individual ions. However, solubility can vary depending on the specific ionic compound and its interaction with water molecules.
Why is barium chloride and sodium sulfate soluble in water?
Barium chloride and sodium sulfate are soluble in water because they can dissociate into ions when they come into contact with water molecules. These ions interact with water molecules through ion-dipole interactions, allowing them to dissolve and form a homogeneous solution.
Why are ionic compounds insoluble in organic compounds?
It isn't strictly true, but generally ionic compounds are not highly soluble in organic solvents because ionic compounds need a highly polar solvent to dissolve well (such as water) and in general organic compounds are not as polar as water. Remember, like dissolves like. However, many ionic compounds are very soluble in a variety of organic solvents, just not as much as in water.
Name two properties of metal salts?
- all metal salts are ionic compounds - many salts are soluble in water and are dissociated
Can a substance be classified as ionic or molecular based only on its solubility in water?
Not always. While many ionic compounds are soluble in water, some molecular substances can also be soluble depending on their polarity and intermolecular forces. It is important to consider the chemical structure and properties of the substance in addition to its solubility in water when determining if it is ionic or molecular.
Why are many sulphate compounds soluble but some are not?
If you mean why are they soluble in water, it is because the hydrogen in water has a slight positive charge and the oxygen in water has a slight negative charge, making an ionic compound (such as one containing sulphate) which has charges itself, readily soluble to adjoin these charges.
Which of the suggested test substances are soluble in water?
Substances that are ionic or polar tend to be soluble in water. Examples include salts like sodium chloride (NaCl), sugar (sucrose), and acids like hydrochloric acid (HCl). Nonpolar substances like oils and fats are typically insoluble in water.
Are ionic compounds more likely to dissolve in water than covalent compounds?
Yes, ionic compounds are more likely to dissolve in water than covalent compounds because they can dissociate into ions when placed in water due to their charged nature. This makes them readily interact with water molecules through ion-dipole interactions, facilitating their dissolution. Covalent compounds generally do not dissociate into ions in water and may not have the same level of interaction with water molecules, making them less likely to dissolve.
Do ionic substances form solutions?
Yes, ionic substances can form solutions when they are dissolved in a solvent such as water. In solution, the ionic compounds dissociate into their respective ions, allowing them to be evenly dispersed throughout the solvent. This results in the formation of an ionic solution.
What are the chemicals in salt that melt ice?
Any water soluble ionic compound can lower the melting point of water. Table salt, which is sodium chloride, is only one of many such compounds.
