Osmosis is the movement of water and is always the movement in the membrane. Diffusion does not need a membrane to make molecules and Diffusion is the movement of molecules.
hoped this helped, good luck

What is true of tectonic plates?
kupik [55]

Answer:

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. ... The lithosphere includes the crust and outer part of the mantle.

What is the measured component of the orbital magnetic dipole moment of an electron with (a) ml = and (b) ml = ?
faust18 [17]

ANSWER:

What is the measured component of the orbital magnetic dipole moment of an electron with the values

(a)  ml=3

(b ) ml= −4

a) -278 x 10^{-23}J/T

b) 3.71 x 10^{-23}J/T

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

a) ml= 3

Цorb,z = ml Цв = - (3) * (9.27e - 24) = -278 x 10^{-23}J/T

b) ml= 3

Цorb,z = ml Цв = - (-4) * (9.27e - 24) = 3.71 x 10^{-23}J/T

What kind of reaction is the "water-splitting" reaction
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Water splitting is the chemical reaction in which water is broken down into oxygen and hydrogen: 2 H2O → 2 H2 + O. Efficient and economical photochemical water splitting would be a technological breakthrough that could underpin a hydrogen economy.

Explanation: 2 H2O → 2 H2 + O.

An empty container weighs 80.21 g. it is filled with 20.14 mL of an unknown liquid, and the total weight of the container and li
tatiyna

Answer:

1.242 g/mL

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of the empty container (m₁): 80.21 g

Mass of the filled container (m₂): 105.22 g

Volume of the unknown liquid (V): 20.14 mL

Step 2: Calculate the mass of the liquid

The mass of the liquid is equal to the difference between the mass of the filled container and the mass of the empty container.

m = m_2 - m_1 = 105.22g - 80.21 g = 25.01 g

Step 3: Calculate the density of the unknown liquid

The density of the liquid is equal to its mass divided by its volume.

\rho = \frac{m}{V} = \frac{25.01g}{20.14mL} = 1.242 g/mL

Why do you require an acid catalyst to make an ester? Why not just mix acid and alcohol? Describe an alternate method of making
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:Acid catalyst is needed to increase the electrophilicity of Carbonyl group of Carboxylic acid as alcohol is a weak nucleophile.

Alternatively esters can be synthesised by converting carboxylic acid into acyl chloride using thionyl chloride(SOCl_{2} and then further treating acyl chloride with alcohol.

Carboxylic acid and esters can be easily distinguished on the basis of IR as carboxylic acid would contain a broad intense peak in 2500-3200cm_{-1} corresponding to OH stretching frequency whereas esters would not contain any such broad intense peak.

Alcohol and esters can also be distinguished using IR as alcohols would contain a broad intense peak at around 3200-3600cm_{-1}

Explanation: For the synthesis of esters using alcohol and carboxylic acid we need to add a little amount of acid in the reaction . The acid used here increases the electrophilicity of carbonyl carbon and hence makes it easier for a weaker nucleophile like alcohol to attack the carbonyl carbon of acid.

The oxygen of the carbonyl group is protonated using the acidic proton which  leads to the generation of positive charge on the oxygen. The positive charge generated is delocalised over the whole acid molecule and hence the electrophilicity of carbonyl group is increased. Kindly refer attachment for the structures.

If we simply mix the acid and alcohol then no appreciable reaction would take place between them and ester formation would not take place because the carboxylic acid in that case is not a good electrophile whereas alcohol is also not a very strong nucleophile which can attack the carbonyl group.

Alternatively we can use thionyl chloride or any other reagent which can convert the carboxylic acid into acyl chloride. Acyl chloride is very elctrophilic and alcohol can very easily attack the acyl chloride and esters could be synthesized.

The carboxylic acid and ester can very easily be distinguished on the basis of broad intense OH stretching frequency peak at around 2500-3200cm_{-1} . The broad intense OH stretching frequency peak is present in carboxylic acids as they contain OH groups and absent in case of esters .

Likewise esters and alcohols can also be distinguished on the basis IR spectra as alcohols will have broad intense spectra  at around 3200-3600cm_{-1}corresponding to OH stretching frequency whereas esters will not have any such peak. Rather esters would be having a Carbonyl stretching frequency at around 1720-1760
