PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS A solution is a mixture of materials‚ one of which is usually a fluid. A fluid is a material that flows‚ such as a liquid or a gas. The fluid of a solution is usually the solvent. The material other than the solvent is the solute. We say that we dissolve the solute into the solvent. Some solutions are so common to us that we give them a unique name. A solution of water and sugar is called syrup. A solution of sodium chloride (common table salt) in water is called brine

Conductivity of Ionic and Molecular Aqueous Solutions Abstract Aqueous solutions that have free ions have higher conductivity values than solutions with most molecules. The purpose of the experiment was to see if ionic strength of an aqueous solution determines its conductivity. We tested each compound by putting the conductivity probe into its aqueous solution. Then the computer would analyze the data and give us a conductivity value. After each solution was tested‚ we used deionized water to

Homework #1 Solutions 3.1 a. Let X1 =the number of hours of process 1 used X2 =the number of hours of process 2 used The objective is to minimize the cost of producing the three products A‚ B and C. The constraints are on the demand of each product. Min 4X1 + X2 subject to 3X1 + X2 ≥ 10 (A’s demand) X1 + X2 ≥ 5 (B’s demand) X1 ≥ 3 (C’s demand) X1 ‚ X2 ≥ 0 (nonnegativity) b. From the graph we can see that the isocost line just leaves the feasible region where the demand for C and B intersect. The
