The counter-current is the process that occurs in the excretory system. The limbs become the multiplier because of the active transport of the electrolytes that move out.

<h3>What is the loop of Henle?</h3>

The loop of Henle is the part of the excretory system and part of the nephron. It functions in minimizing the water loss in the excretion of urine. There are descending and ascending loops present.

The ascending loop is impermeable to water but permeable to the electrolytes, and hence the concentration of the sodium, potassium, and chloride ions are actively pumped. This makes the solution more concentrated in the ascending loop.

Therefore, the electrolyte concentration results in active transport.

A 99.8 mL sample of a solution that is 12.0% KI by mass (d: 1.093 g/mL) is added to 96.7 mL of another solution that is 14.0% Pb
andre [41]

Answer:

m_{PbI_2}=18.2gPbI_2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we write the reaction again:

Pb(NO_3)_2(aq) + 2 KI(aq)\rightarrow PbI_2(s) + 2 KNO_3(aq)

In such a way, the first thing we do is to compute the reacting moles of lead (II) nitrate and potassium iodide, by using the concentration, volumes, densities and molar masses, 331.2 g/mol and 166.0 g/mol respectively:

n_{Pb(NO_3)_2}=\frac{0.14gPb(NO_3)_2}{1g\ sln}*\frac{1molPb(NO_3)_2}{331.2gPb(NO_3)_2}  *\frac{1.134g\ sln}{1mL\ sln} *96.7mL\ sln\\\\n_{Pb(NO_3)_2}=0.04635molPb(NO_3)_2\\\\n_{KI}=\frac{0.12gKI}{1g\ sln}*\frac{1molKI}{166.0gKI}  *\frac{1.093g\ sln}{1mL\ sln} *99.8mL\ sln\\\\n_{KI}=0.07885molKI

Next, as lead (II) nitrate and potassium iodide are in a 1:2 molar ratio, 0.04635 mol of lead (II) nitrate will completely react with the following moles of potassium nitrate:

0.04635molPb(NO_3)_2*\frac{2molKI}{1molPb(NO_3)_2} =0.0927molKI

But we only have 0.07885 moles, for that reason KI is the limiting reactant, so we compute the yielded grams of lead (II) iodide, whose molar mass is 461.01 g/mol, by using their 2:1 molar ratio:

m_{PbI_2}=0.07885molKI*\frac{1molPbI_2}{2molKI} *\frac{461.01gPbI_2}{1molPbI_2} \\\\m_{PbI_2}=18.2gPbI_2

Best regards.

Describe endothermic vs. exothermic reactions in terms of product formation. (hint: what happens when products are formed?)
shusha [124]

Answer:

Endothermic reaction chemical equation

Reactnt A + Reactant B + Heat (energy) ⇒ Products

Exothermic reaction chemical equation

Reactnt A + Reactant B ⇒ Products + Heat (energy)

Explanation:

Endothermic Reaction

An endothermic reaction is a reaction that reaction that requires heat before it would take place resulting in the absorption of heat from the surrounding that can be sensed by the coolness of the reacting system

An example of an endothermic reaction is a chemical cold pack that becomes cold when the chemical and water inside it reacts

Exothermic Reaction

An exothermic reaction is one that rekeases energy to the surroundings when it takes place. This is as a result of the fact that the combined heat energy of the reactants is more than the chemical heat energy of the products. An example of an exothermic reaction is a burning candle

5. How much heat is evolved when 24.9 g of propanol (C3H7OH) is burned? ΔHcomb = −2010 kJ/mol
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

At the global scale, they are a significant source of emitted carbon, contributing to global warming which could lead to biodiversity changes. ... The consequence of repeated burns is detrimental because it is a key factor in the impoverishment of biodiversity in rain forest ecosystems.
