A patient with chronic kidney disease is at risk for developing which of the following electrolyte imbalances?

Water is sometimes called the “universal solvent” because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid.

This is due to its polarity and ability to form hydrogen bonds, which allows it to dissolve ions and polar molecules.

Choice A) Because water dissolves all solutes equally well is incorrect because water does not dissolve all solutes equally well.

Choice B) Because water is a nonpolar solvent is incorrect because water is a polar solvent.

Choice D) Because water is poor at dissolving nonpolar molecules is incorrect because it does not explain why water is called the “universal solvent”.

The terminal velocity of an object falling through a fluid is affected by several factors, including its mass and shape.

Objects with large surface areas will often experience a large amount of air resistance when they move.

Choice B is incorrect because the volume of the object does not affect its terminal velocity.

Choice C is incorrect because the acceleration and momentum of the object do not affect its terminal velocity.

Choice D is incorrect because the height and distance of the fall do not affect the terminal velocity of a falling object.
