Interpretation:
The statements about the general properties of solutions are true or false has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Solution: It is the homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. In such a mixture, solute is a substance (of lower proportion) dissolved in another substance (of larger proportion), called solvent. In aqueous solution, the solvent is water.
Homogeneous mixture:
- It is a mixture in which the components are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture.
- There is only one phase of matter observed in a homogeneous matter.
- Example- Air, Sugar water , Rain water
Explanation of Solution
Reason for true statements:
Option a):
In a solution, more than one substance can dissolve in a given solvent.
Hence, the statement is true.
Option b):
A solution is formed by dissolving two or more substances in a solvent. In a solution, the components are distributed uniformly through-out and hence it is homogeneous.
Hence, it is true.
Option c):
In a solution, the components are distributed uniformly throughout and thus every part is exactly the same.
Hence, it is true.
Reason for wrong statements:
Option d):
A solution is a homogenous mixture and it does not separate into parts. Therefore, the solutes present in a solution will not settle out with time if kept undisturbed.
Hence, the statement is wrong.

- Manufacturers make carbonated drinks by forcing pressurized carbon dioxide gas into flavored water. A chemical reaction between water molecules and some of the CO2 molecules creates hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate, which is a buffer. In your opinion, is this reaction likely to raise the pH of a soda above 7, or lower it? Give your reasoning.arrow_forwardWhich of the following substances will dissolve in water A.nonpolar B.polar C.hydrophobic D.hydrophilic E.ionicarrow_forwardWhat is the definition of solute concentration? A. The total amount of solute inside a cell B. The total amount of solution inside and outside a cell C. The total amount of solvent in a solution D. The total amount of solute dissolved in a solventarrow_forward
- Which of the following are properties of water that make itimportant for living cells?(a) It is a polar molecule that can form solutions.(b) It has high surface tension.(c) It has a high specific heat.(d) It can participate in dehydration and hydrolysisreactions.(e) All of the above.arrow_forwardwhich of the following is a characteristic of a buffer? a. The pH will go down significantly when H3O+ is added to the buffer b. The pH will go down very slightly when H3O+ is added to the buffer c. The pH will go up significantly when H3O+ is added to the bufferarrow_forwardWhich of the following would be most effective as a buffer? A. pure water B. a mixture of molecules that are bonded to each other with hydrogen bonds C. a mixture of unbonded atoms D. a mixture of molecules with ionic bonds that will break apart into ions E. a mixture of nonpolar moleculesarrow_forward

The polar portion of lipids is much larger than the nonpolar portion. c. The polar portion of lipids is much smaller than the nonpolar portion. d. The polar and nonpolar portions of lipids are of the same size.arrow_forwardA solution is prepared by dissolving 64.92 g of Magnesium chloride in sufficient water to make 600 mL of solution. The density of the solution is 1.082 g/mL. (At. wt.: Mg = 24.31, Cl = 35.45) Calculate:a. molality b. mf of solutec. mole % solvent d. %bywt.e. Osmolarity “THE SUB-PARTS TO BE SOLVED (LETTER D & E)”arrow_forwardConcentrations and volumes are NOT the same thing. Concentrations are in units of mass/volume (i.e., g/l or mg/ml). Volumes are in units of only volume (i.e., 1. ml). 4. a. If you mixed 265 g of sugar with water to get a final volume of 725 ml. what is the concentration of this solution in g/l? Show your work. If you took 1 ml of this solution, what would the concentration be? Explain your reasoning. you prepare a stock solution (highly concentrated) of sugar in water whose concentration is 500 g/l. you need to make a new solution that is half (1/2) as concentrated and has a final volume of 100 ml. Describe how you would make this dilution. Step one: Your new solution has a concentration of_. Step two: To make 100 ml of this new solution, you will need to add_of concentrated stock solution plus_of water. Now make a second solution that is one-tenth (1/10) as concentrated as the initial stock solution and has a final volume of 100 ml. Describe how you would make this dilution.…arrow_forward
