If a red blood cell is placed in a 0.5 salt solution what will occur

The red blood cell will shrink.
In salt solution, the water potential is a lot lower than the cell cytoplasm. In that way, water molecules will flow from the inside of the cell to the salt solution by osmosis. The red blood cell will loose so much water that it shrinks.
But we don't have to worry about that because this won't occur inside our body, since there is mechanism in our body that regulates the concentration of blood.

Calculate the value of ka for acetylsalicylic acid
lianna [129]

The value of Ka for acetylsalicylic acid will be calculated as Ka=(x+a)²/x.

<h3>What is Ka?</h3>

Ka is known by the name of acid dissociation constant and for weak acid HA at equilibrium Ka will be calculated as:

Ka = [H⁺][A⁻] / [HA]

Chemical equation with ICE table for the acetylsalicylic acid will be shown as:

                  C₉H₈O₄(aq)  +  H₂O(l)  ⇄  C₉H₇O₄(aq)  +  H₃O⁺(aq)

Initial:                 x                                        0                     0

Change:            -a                                        +a                   +a

Equilibrium:      x-a                                      x+a                 x+a

So, Ka for acetylsalicylic acid will be calculated by putting values on the above equation as:

Ka = [x+a][x+a] / [x-a]

Value of a is negligible as compared to the value of x of acetylsalicylic acid so the term x-a becomes x and equation will be written as:

Ka = (x+a)² / x

By knowing the all values of concentration we can calculate the value of Ka.

Hence Ka value for acetylsalicylic acid will be calculated by using the formula as Ka = (x+a)² / x.

The pressure and temperature inside a bike tires 10 ATM and 10 K receptively. What will the pressure be come in the tire when th
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

P = 20atm

Explanation:

P1 = 10atm

T1 = 10K

P2 = ?

T2 = 20K

This question requires the use of pressure law which states that the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature provided its volume remains constant

Mathematically,

P = kT, k = P / T

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2 = P3 / T3=........=Pn / Tn

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

P2 = (P1 × T2) / T1

P2 = (10 × 20) / 10

P2 = 20atm

The final pressure of the gas is 20atm

A marine biologist is preparing a deep-sea submersible for a dive. The sub stores breathing air under high pressure in a spheric
Luba_88 [7]

Complete Question

A marine biologist is preparing a deep-sea submersible for a dive. The sub stores breathing air under high pressure in a spherical air tank that measures 74.0 wide. The biologist estimates she will need 2600 L of air for the dive. Calculate the pressure to which this volume of air must be compressed in order to fit into the air tank. Write your answer in atmospheres. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer:

The pressure required is P_2= 12.2 \ atm

Explanation:

Generally the volume of a sphere is mathematically denoted as

             V_s = \frac{4}{3} * \pi r^3

Substituting r =  \frac{d}{2} = \frac{74}{2} = 37cm

          V_s = \frac{4}{3} * 3.42 * (37)^2

               V_s = 2.121746 *10^5 cm^3

Converting to Liters

               V_s = \frac{2.121746 *10^5}{1000}

                V_s= 212.1746L

Assume that the pressure at which the air is given to the diver is 1 atm when the air was occupying a volume of 2600L

So

From Charles law

               P_1V_1 = P_2 V_s

Substituting  V_1 =2600 L ,   P_1 = 1 atm , V_s  =212.1746L , and making P_2 the subject we have

                 P_2 = \frac{P_1 * V_1}{V_s}

                     = \frac{1 * 2600}{212.1746}

                    P_2= 12.2 atm
