Notes. 1  For a quick gluten-free gravy, while the roast is cooking, heat 2 Tbsp of butter/fat in a sauce pan. 2  If you are making the roast ahead of time, it is a great idea to use the broth left in the roasting pan to make this gravy as directed above. 3  Stretch this meal by braising extra root veggies on the side.
The remaining part of the original water molecule is called a hydroxide ion (negative charge because it kept an extra electron, shorthand = OH-). Although present at very low levels in solution, H+ and OH- ions can have enormous effects on the properties of a solution, especially when they are not in balance. In pure water, every hydroxide ion that forms creates a hydrogen ion, so there are equal numbers of anions and cations.
Two forces(H2O molecules and the Ions) determine the extent to which solution will occur: 1. Force of attraction between H2O molecules & the ions of the solid (i.e. Na +, Cl-, H2O) This force tends to bring ions into solution. If this is the predominant factor, then the compound may be highly soluble in water (easily dissolved). 2. Force of attraction between oppositely charged ions This force tends to keep the ions in the solid state.
