Which of the solutions have greatest osmotic pressure 30% sucrose 60% sucrose or 30% magnesium sulfate?

1 answer:

4 0

Osmotic pressure is the minimum amount of pressure a solution must exert in order to prevent from crossing a barrier by osmosis. Solute molecules have difficulty crossing semipermeable membranes, so the more solutes that are in a solution, the higher the osmotic pressure will be. Between 30% sucrose and 60% sucrose, 60% sucrose will have a greater osmotic pressure than 30% because it has a higher percentage of solutes. However, since sucrose has a higher potential to cross semipermeable membranes and is more absorbable than magnesium sulfate, magnesium sulfate would have a higher osmotic pressure than 60% sucrose even though 60% sucrose has higher molecules.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

0.133 mol (corrected to 3 sig.fig)

Explanation:

Take the atomic mass of H=1.0, and O=16.0,

no. of moles = mass / molar mass

so no. of moles of H2O produced = 1.2 / (1.0x2+16.0)

= 0.0666666 mol

From the equation, the mole ratio of H2:H2O = 2:2 = 1:1,

meaning every 1 mole of H2 reacted gives out 1 mole of water.

So, the no, of moles of H2 required should equal to the no, of moles of H2O produced, which is also 0.0666666 moles.

mass = no. of moles x molar mass

hence,

mass of H2 required = 0.066666666 x (1.0x2)

= 0.133 mol (corrected to 3 sig.fig)

According to the big bang theory, which statement is accurate about how the universe came to be?

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The term Big Bang defines that the Universe has expanded from the ancient hot and thick primary situation at some fixed time in the past.

Big Bang theory refers to the origin of the Universe. In the beginning, universe is very heavy and small hot ball of matter. It was a point no bigger than the head of a pin when all the things squished with each other and universe is expanded with huge explosion of energy. Due to expansion, it is cooled and results in the formation of Stars and galaxies. After sometime, atoms formed like helium and hydrogen.

Thus, statement (1), (3) and (4) is correct whereas statement (2) and (5) is incorrect. the right answer is - (It expanded slowly), (Stars and galaxies formed,) (Atoms such as hydrogen and helium formed.)
