When salt is mixed with water and stirred, the salt will dissolve, forming a solution. When sand is mixed with water, the sand will not dissolve. Why will salt form a solution with water but sand will not? Explain why A-D is correct or incorrect in relationship to the question. A) Salt is pulled apart into two ions by the polar water molecules, and sand is not.

B) Sand forms complex crystals which dissolve much more slowly than non-crystalline salt.

C) Salt consists of only 2 atoms and is small enough to dissolve, while sand is too large.

D) Sand is much harder than salt and so it will not form a solution with water.

In 1959, doctors began using the powerful antibiotic methicillin to treat infections of staphylococcus aureus, but within two years, methicillin-resistant strains of s. aureus (mrsa) appeared. how did the resistant strains of s. aureus emerge? in 1959, doctors began using the powerful antibiotic methicillin to treat infections of staphylococcus aureus, but within two years, methicillin-resistant strains of s. aureus (mrsa) appeared. how did the resistant strains of s. aureus emerge? staphylococcus aureus bacteria that were able to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin survived the methicillin treatments and reproduced at higher rates than did other individuals. over time, these resistant individuals became increasingly common. in response to treatment of staphylococcus aureus infections with methicillin, some bacteria began to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin. these bacteria survived the methicillin treatments and reproduced at higher rates than did other individuals. over time, these resistant individuals became increasingly common. in response to treatment of staphylococcus aureus infections with methicillin, bacterial populations gradually began to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin.
