The mechanism by which oxygen moves into capillaries from alveoli is ________.

1 answer:

4 0

The answer is c.diffusion.
Diffusion is the movement of ions, molecules or atoms form high concentration to low concentration across the membrane without the need of any energy or any membrane gates. The oxygen enters the alveoli will be dissolved in the water vapor that is present on the wall of the alveoli and will diffuse directly to the blood across the alveolar membrane.

Calculate the concentration of all ions present in each of the following solutions of strong electrolytes. a. 0.100 mole of Ca(N

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

[Ca²⁺] = 1M

[NO₃⁻] = 2M

Explanation:

Calcium nitrate dissociates in water as follows:

Ca(NO₃)₂ ⇒ Ca²⁺ + 2NO₃⁻

The moles of Ca²⁺ can be found using the molar relationship between Ca(NO₃)₂ and Ca²⁺

(0.100mol Ca(NO₃)₂) (Ca²⁺ /Ca(NO₃)₂) = 0.100 mol Ca²⁺

The concentration of Ca²⁺ is then:

[Ca²⁺] = n/V = (0.100mol)/(100.0mL) x (1000ml)/(1L) = 1M

Similarly, moles of NO₃⁻ can be found using the molar relationship between Ca(NO₃)₂ and NO₃⁻:

(0.100mol Ca(NO₃)₂) (2NO₃⁻/Ca(NO₃)₂) = 0.200 mol NO₃⁻

The concentration of NO₃⁻ is then:

[NO₃⁻] = (0.200mol)/(100.0mL) x (1000ml)/(1L) = 2M

In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to anot

forsale [732]

The given question is incomplete . The complete question is :

In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to another. What are the new relative charges between the two atoms?

a. The giving atom and receiving atom are both negatively charged

b. The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.

c. The giving and receiving atom are both positively charged

d. The giving atom is now negatively charged and the receiving atom is now positively charged.

Answer: The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are formed by transference of electrons between metals and non metals. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Thus when one electron moves from one atom to another, the metal acquires a positive charge and the non metal acquires negative charge.

For example: $NaCl$ is formed by transfer of one electron from sodium to chlorine , thus forming $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$
