Chemistry

Elanso [62]3 years ago

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.

Determine which set of properties correctly describes copper (Cu)?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

D. Malleable, conducts electricity, high melting point, giant structure, metallic lattice

Explanation:

Copper is a metal with an atomic number of 29. This metal is soft and reddish in color which explains why it is very malleable(beaten to form various shapes without breaking).

All metals are good conductors of electricity including copper which is also a metal. Metals generally are insoluble in water. Copper also has a high melting point which is a characteristic of metals due to their giant structure and metallic lattice which makes it difficult to be broken down.
