Assumption 2. The self-ionization of water can be ignored. This assumption is not, strictly speaking, valid with pH values close to 7, half the value of pK w, the constant for self-ionization of water. In this case the mass-balance equation for hydrogen should be extended to take account of the self-ionization of water.
Addition (or removal) of CO 2 to a solution does not change its alkalinity, since the net reaction produces the same number of equivalents of positively contributing species (H +) as negative contributing species (HCO − 3 and/or CO 2− 3). Adding CO 2 to the solution lowers its pH, but does not affect alkalinity. At all pH values: CO 2 + H 2 ...
At high salt concentrations, the solubility is given by the following empirical expression. [citation needed] log S = B − KI. where S is the solubility of the protein, B is a constant (function of protein, pH and temperature), K is the salting out constant (function of pH, mixing and salt), and I is the ionic strength of the salt.

Water has a very high specific heat capacity of 4184 J/(kg·K) at 20 °C (4182 J/(kg·K) at 25 °C)—the second-highest among all the heteroatomic species (after ammonia), as well as a high heat of vaporization (40.65 kJ/mol or 2268 kJ/kg at the normal boiling point), both of which are a result of the extensive hydrogen bonding between its ...
At 20 °C (68 °F) one liter of water can dissolve about 357 grams of salt, a concentration of 26.3 percent by weight (% w/w). At 100 °C (212 °F) (the boiling temperature of pure water), the amount of salt that can be dissolved in one liter of water increases to about 391 grams, a concentration of 28.1% w/w.
i = 1 for sugar in water; i = 1.9 for sodium chloride in water, due to the near full dissociation of NaCl into Na + and Cl − (often simplified as 2) i = 2.3 for calcium chloride in water, due to nearly full dissociation of CaCl 2 into Ca 2+ and 2Cl − (often simplified as 3)
"The majority of the adult body is water, up to 60% of your weight," says Schnoll-Sussman, adding that the average person's weight can fluctuate one to five pounds per day due to water.
