In a salt solution, the water potential is lower than that in the cell. In this case, water molecules will flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential by osmosis. Which where water molecules is now flowing out of the cell to the salt solution. Because the cell lose so much water that it now shrinks.
Osmosis is where water molecules move down the water potential gradient through a semi permeable membrane, which is the cell membrane in this case.

Answer:

Weak bonds require less energy to form than strong bonds

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the force between two species is inversely proportional to the distance between them. That said, the bigger the atoms are, the greater the bond length should be to form a molecule.

As a result, for a greater bond length, the attraction force is lower than for a shorter bond length. This implies that large atoms would form weak bonds and small atoms would form strong bonds.

Bond energy is defined as the amount of energy required to break the bond. If a bond is weak, it would require a low amount of energy to break it. This is also true for energy of formation, as it's the same process taking place in the opposite direction.

A student placed 18.5 g of glucose (C6H12O6) in a volumetric flask, added enough water to dissolve the glucose by swirling, then
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

1.30464 grams of glucose was present in 100.0 mL of final solution.

Explanation:

Molarity=\frac{moles}{\text{Volume of solution(L)}}

Moles of glucose = \frac{18.5 g}{180 g/mol}=0.1028 mol

Volume of the solution = 100 mL = 0.1 L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Molarity of the solution = \frac{0.1028 mol}{0.1 L}=1.028 mol/L

A 30.0 mL sample of above glucose solution was diluted to 0.500 L:

Molarity of the solution before dilution = M_1=1.208 mol

Volume of the solution taken = V_1=30.0 mL

Molarity of the solution after dilution = M_2

Volume of the solution after dilution= V_2=0.500L = 500 mL

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

M_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{V_2}=\frac{1.208 mol/L\times 30.0 mL}{500 mL}

M_2=0.07248 mol/L

Mass glucose are in 100.0 mL of the 0.07248 mol/L glucose solution:

Volume of solution = 100.0 mL = 0.1 L

0.07248 mol/L=\frac{\text{moles of glucose}}{0.1 L}

Moles of glucose = 0.07248 mol/L\times 0.1 L=0.007248 mol

Mass of 0.007248 moles of glucose :

0.007248 mol × 180 g/mol = 1.30464 grams

1.30464 grams of glucose was present in 100.0 mL of final solution.
