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.

Equal masses (in grams) of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water. Which substance is limiting?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

a. Oxygen gas is limiting

Explanation:

hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water

2H₂ + O₂  →  2H₂O

the above balanced equation shows that 2 moles of H₂ is required for 1 mole of O₂

Given equal masses of H₂ and O₂

assuming 'x' gm for each, no. of moles of each gas  =

no. of moles of H₂ = x/2 = 0.5x moles

no.of moles of O₂ = x/32 = 0.031x moles

This shows that no. of moles of O₂ is very less so O₂ will become the limiting reagent.
