A plant cell has a solute potential of -2.0 bars and pressure potential of 0.0. Its water potential is -2 bar. The cell will gain water or swell.

<h3>What is Water Potential ?</h3>

Water Potential is the potential energy of water in a system per unit volume relative to pure water , when both pressure and temperature are kept same. Water potential is never positive. It is expressed in kPa (Kilopascals). The symbol of water potential is ψ.

<h3>How to find the Water Potential ?</h3>

To find the water potential use this formula

\Psi = \Psi_{s} + \Psi_{p}

where,

ψ = Water Potential

\Psi_{s} = Solute Potential

\Psi_{p} = Pressure potential

Now put the value in above expression we get

\Psi = \Psi_{s} + \Psi_{p}

   = -2.0 + 0.0

   = - 2 bar

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that A plant cell has a solute potential of -2.0 bars and pressure potential of 0.0. Its water potential is -2 bar. The cell will gain water or swell.

In the Haber reaction, patented by German chemist Fritz Haber in 1908, dinitrogen gas combines with dihydrogen gas to produce ga
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The rate at which ammonia is being produced is 0.41 kg/sec.

Explanation:

N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3 Haber reaction

Volume of dinitrogen consumed in a second = 505 L

Temperature at which reaction is carried out,T= 172°C = 445.15 K

Pressure at which reaction is carried out, P = 0.88 atm

Let the moles of dinitrogen be n.

Using an Ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.88 atm\times 505 L}{0.0821 atm l/mol K\times 445.15 K}=12.1597 mol

According to reaction , 1 mol of ditnitrogen gas produces 2 moles of ammonia.

Then 12.1597 mol of dinitrogen will produce :

\frac{2}{1}\times 12.1597 mol=24.3194 mol of ammonia

Mass of 24.3194 moles of ammonia =24.3194 mol × 17 g/mol

=413.43 g=0.41343 kg ≈ 0.41 kg

505 L of dinitrogen are consumed in 1 second to produce 0.41 kg of ammonia in 1 second. So the rate at which ammonia is being produced is 0.41 kg/sec.

At a given temperature the vapor pressures of hexane and octane are 183 mmhg and 59.2 mmhg, respectively. Calculate the total va
Bas_tet [7]

Total vapor pressure can be calculated using partial vapor pressures and mole fraction as follows:

P=X_{A}P_{A}+X_{B}P_{B}

Here, X_{A} is mole fraction of A, X_{B} is mole fraction of B, P_{A} is partial pressure of A and P_{B} is partial pressure of B.

The mole fraction of A and B are related to each other as follows:

X_{A}+X_{B}=1

In this problem, A is hexane and B is octane, mole fraction of hexane is given 0.580 thus, mole fraction of octane can be calculated as follows:

X_{octane}=1-X_{hexane}=1-0.58=0.42

Partial pressure of hexane and octane is given 183 mmHg and 59.2 mmHg respectively.

Now, vapor pressure can be calculated as follows:

P=X_{hexane}P_{hexane}+X_{octane}P_{octane}

Putting the values,

P=(0.580)(183 mmHg)+(0.420)(59.2 mmHg)=131 mmHg

Therefore, total vapor pressure over the solution of hexane and octane is 131 mmHg.

Which of these is a pure substance?
scoundrel [369]
B. Sugar is a pure substance.
It is sugar because sugar is made up of one atom or molecule. 
A) penny is not correct because a penny is made up of copper, zinc, and tin.
C) ocean water is not correct because its made out of water (h2o) and salt.
D) iced tea is not correct because it takes many atoms to combine in order to make tea, then you have to add water and ice to make it an iced tea.

Hope this helps! :)
