First, we must understand what diffusion is! Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high concentration to a lower concentration, in order to reach equilibrium. Cells in particular need this to maintain homeostasis, or an internal equilibrium (stability).

Do you mean molecular size or composition, perhaps? Bigger particles are harder to move than smaller molecules. Additionally, physical constitution of a particle will affect the rate of diffusion. Think of a mouse squeezing under a door as compared to a rock, of the same size. A mouse will more easily be able to squeeze through the gap

Answer:

$\Delta\text{H}_1+2\Delta\text{H}_2-\Delta\text{H}_3$

Explanation:

Hess's Law of Constant Heat Summation states that if a chemical equation can be written as the sum of several other chemical equations, the enthalpy change of the first chemical equation is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the other chemical equations. Thus, the reaction that involves the conversion of reactant A to B, for example, has the same enthalpy change even if you convert A to C, before converting it to B. Regardless of how many steps it takes for the reactant to be converted to the product, the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is constant.

With Hess's Law in mind, let's see how A can be converted to 2C +E.

$\bf{\text{A} \rightarrow 2\text{B}}$ (Δ $\text{H}_1$ ) -----(1)

Since we have 2B, multiply the whole of II. by 2:

$\bf{2\text{B} \rightarrow 2\text{C} +2\text{D}}$ (2Δ $\text{H}_2$ ) -----(2)

This step converts all the B intermediates to 2C +2D. This means that the overall reaction at this stage is $\text{A} \rightarrow 2\text{C} +2\text{D}$ .

Reversing III. gives us a negative enthalpy change as such:

$\bf{2\text{D} \rightarrow \text{E}}$ (-Δ $\text{H}_3$ ) -----(3)

This step converts all the D intermediates formed from step (2) to E. This results in the overall equation of $\text{A} \rightarrow 2\text{C} +\text{E}$ , which is also the equation of interest.

Adding all three together:

$\text{A} \rightarrow 2\text{C}+\text{E}$ ( $\bf{\Delta\text{H}_1+2\Delta\text{H}_2-\Delta\text{H}_3 }$ )

Thus, the first option is the correct answer.

Urea, a compound formed in the liver, is one of the ways humans excrete nitrogen. The Lewis structure for urea is H N H H C H O

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The nitrogens are both sp3 hybridized. Their bonds are formed by sp overlaps. The carbon and oxygen are sp2 hybridized. The double bond with oxygen is produced by a sp2 overlap to form the sigma component and a probital overlap to form the pi component. The bonds with hydrogen are formed by sp2 overlaps.

What is the pH of a 6.7 x 10^−5 M H+ solution?

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

pH = 4.17

Explanation:

According to the molar concentration you stated, pH of the solution is: 4.17

Remember that pH = - log [H⁺]

and [H⁺] = 10^-pH

When:

pH > 7 → Basic solution

pH = 7 → Neutral solution

pH < 7 → Acid solution
