Concept explainers

Solutions

Solutions can be considered as homogeneous mixtures which contain two or more than two chemical substances. The chemical substance which is the greater part is defined as solvent. And the chemical substance that is dissolved in a solvent is referred to as solute. Solution chemistry plays an important role in chemistry since it supports many commercial applications of solutions.

Question

Explain why pure water has the maximum water potential.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Water potential is the potential energy of water per unit volume relative to pure water in reference conditions. Water potential determines the movement of water from one area to another due to osmosis, gravity, mechanical pressure and capillary action which is caused by surface tension.

A bubble of air escaping from a diver's mask rises from a depth of 108 ft to the surface where the pressure is 1.00 atm. Initially, the bubble has a volume of 10.0 mL. Assuming none of the air dissolves in the water, how many times larger is the bubble just as it reaches the surface? Use this data: 1. The density of seawater is approximately 1.025 g ml-1 2. The density of mercury is 13.6 g ml-1 i times larger Use your answer to explain why scuba divers constantly exhale as they slowly rise from a deep dive. Since the pressure by a factor of approximately i , the volume must by a factor of approximately i Divers exhale to the amount of gas in their lungs, so it does not to a volume than the diver's lungs.
The names and chemical formulae of some chemical compounds are written in the first two columns of the table below. Each compound is soluble in water. Imagine that a few tenths of a mole of each compound is dissolved in a iter of water. Then, write down in the third column of the table the chemical formula of the major chemical species that will be present in this solution. For example, you know water itself will be present, so you can begin each list with the chemical formula for water (H,O).
