Concentrating on Color, Salty Dog

Like a chemist, Napoieon considered aii Europe to be materiai for his experiments. But, in due course, this materiai reacted against him. 

Solubility is also influenced by concentration as we discussed in conjunction with precipitation. A few pinches of baking soda go into solution readily, but not much more than that. Now try the following. Make a sat- 

There was no trace then of the horror which I had myself felt.. . but his face showed rather the quiet and interested composure of the chemist who sees the crystals falling Into position from his oversaturated solution. 

Though water solutions, or aqueous solutions as they are known to the chemist, are probably the most familiar solutions, there are many other kinds of solutions. There are solid solutions such as metal alloys, although not all alloys form truly homogenous blends. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. 

To carry out metabolic functions, the body depends on the solubility of gases in blood, which, in turn, depends on the pressure of that gas and not any other. So the solubility of oxygen in blood depends on the pressure of oxygen in the inhaled air, and the solubility of oxygen in the cells depends on the pressure of oxygen in the cell. As metabolism takes place in the cell, oxygen is used up and carbon dioxide is produced. When
