A concentration gradient exists in a solution when the concentration of solutes in the solution is.

Chemistry

Aneli [31]2 years ago

When the concentration of solutes in one part of a solution is more than the concentration of solutes in another part of the solution, a concentration gradient is said to exist.

Concentration gradient can be demonstrated by adding salt to a glass of water. At first, not every part of the water is salty, only the region where the salt was added. Here, a concentration gradient exists. Overtime, the Na+ and Cl- move down the concentration gradient, making the salt concentration throughout the water equal.

In nature, cells use concentration gradient to store energy. Concentration gradient also helps to facilitate movement and transport within and out of the cell through osmosis and diffusion.

A rectangle has a volume of 395cm3. It has a mass of 147g. What is its density? *
LekaFEV [45]

The density of a rectangle : ρ = 0.372 g/cm³

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The volume of rectangle : 395 cm³

Mass : 147 g

Required

The density

Solution

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume  

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume  

Density formula:  

\large {\boxed {\bold {\rho ~ = ~ \frac {m} {V}}}}

ρ = density  

m = mass  

v = volume

Input the value :

ρ = 147 g : 395 cm³

ρ = 0.372 g/cm³

How many moles are in 1.05 g of gold (Au)?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

0.005 mol

Explanation:

Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,  

Hence ,  

n = w / m

n = moles ,  

w = given mass ,  

m = molecular mass .

From the question ,

w = given mass of Gold = 1.05 g ,

m = molecular mass of Gold = 197 g/mol

<u>Hence , moles can be calculated as -</u>

n = w / m = 1.05 g / 197 g/mol = 0.005 mol

Consider the elements: Na, Mg, Al, Si, P.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

The elements mentioned in the series are Na, Mg, Al, Si, and P. It can be seen that all these elements are located in the same period. The atomic number of the mentioned elements are Na-11, Mg-12, Al-13, Si-14, and P-15.

a) There will be an increase in the ionization energy with the increase in the element's atomic number across a period. More energy is needed to withdraw an electron from a completely occupied shell in comparison to an incompletely occupied shell.

The atomic number of Na is 11. When one electron is withdrawn from Na, it gets converted into the inert gas configuration of Ne. Thus, it will require more energy to withdraw the second electron from Na. Hence, Na exhibits the lowest second ionization energy.

b) Across the period, with an increase in the element's atomic number, the atomic radii reduces from left to right. Thus, P exhibits the smallest atomic radius.

c) The metallic nature of the elements reduces from left to right across a period in the periodic table. Thus, P is the least metallic element.

d) Diamagnetic signifies towards the element that exhibits pair electrons in its sub-shells. The electronic configuration of Mg is,

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2

In Mg, no unpaired electrons are present, while all the remaining elements mentioned exhibit unpaired electrons in their valence shell. Thus, Mg is the diamagnetic element.
