33
Q

What is the solvent and solute in blood?

A

Solvent-plasma

Solute–the other dissolved substances

34
Q

Why do polar molecules dissolve in water

A

Because the attraction between the water molecules and the solute molecules is greater than the attraction among the molecules of the solute(the pull between the water and the solute molecules is more than the solute molecules attraction keeping them together)

36
Q

What is the difference of acids and bases?

A

Acids have a higher concentration of hydrogen protons
