<u>Answer:</u> C) be hypertonic to Tank B.
<u>Explanation: </u>
<u>
The ability of an extracellular solution to move water in or out of a cell by osmosis</u> is known as its tonicity. Additionally, the tonicity of a solution is related to its osmolarity, which is the <u>total concentration of all the solutes in the solution.
</u>
Three terms (hypothonic, isotonic and hypertonic) are used <u>to compare the osmolarity of a solution with respect to the osmolarity of the liquid that is found after the membrane</u>. When we use these terms, we only take into account solutes that can not cross the membrane, which in this case are minerals.
- If the liquid in tank A has a lower osmolarity (<u>lower concentration of solute</u>) than the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be hypotonic with respect to the latter.
- If the liquid in tank A has a greater osmolarity (<u>higher concentration of solute</u>) than the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be hypertonic with respect to the latter.
- If the liquid in tank A has the same osmolarity (<u>equal concentration of solute</u>) as the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be isotonic with respect to the latter.
In the case of the problem, option A is impossible because the minerals can not cross the membrane, since it is permeable to water only. There is no way that the concentration of minerals decreases in tank A, so <u>the solution in this tank can not be hypotonic with respect to the one in Tank B. </u>
Equally, both solutions can not be isotonic and neither we can say that the solution in tank A has more minerals that the one in tank B because the liquid present in tank B is purified water that should not have minerals. Therefore, <u>options B and D are also not correct.</u>
Finally, the correct option is C, since in the purification procedure the water is extracted from the solution in tank A to obtain a greater quantity of purified water in tank B. In this way, the solution in Tank A would be hypertonic to Tank B.
When a magnet moves near a coil of wire it can cause an A. electric current
Answer:
the bowling ball will move fastest
Explanation:
because it is heaviest
To fully understand the problem, we use the ICE table to identify the concentration of the species. We calculate as follows:
Ka = 2.0 x 10^-9 = [H+][OBr-] / [HOBr]
HOBr = 0.50 M
KOBr = 0.30 M = OBr-
<span> HOBr + H2O <-> H+ + OBr- </span>
<span>I 0.50 - 0 0.30 </span>
<span>C -x x x
</span>---------------------------------------------
<span>E(0.50-x) x (0.30+x) </span>
<span>Assuming that the value of x is small as compared to 0.30 and 0.50 </span>
<span>Ka = 2.0 x 10^-9 = x (0.30) / 0.50) </span>
<span>x = 3.33 x 10^-9 = H+</span>
pH = 8.48
