The solar wind is a stream of electronically charged particles (plasma), which are ejected from the upper atmosphere of the sun. It consists mostly of high-energy electrons and protons (about 1 keV=1.6*10-19) that are able to escape the sun's gravity because of the high temperature of the corona and the high kinetic energy particles gain through a process that is not well understood at this time. Many phenomenon are related to the solar wind, including

Solubility Product Constant Lab
Introduction: When a salt of low solubility is added to water, only a few ions are formed, and most of the salt remains undissolved. In a saturated solution, the solid dissociates into ions at the same rate that the ions reunite to form the solid. In other words, a dynamic equilibrium exists between the undissolved solid and the ions in solution. An undetermined amount of dissolved salt exists in equilibrium with the solid. The concentration
