Why would the cell membrane shrink when the cells were placed in the 4% salt solution?

1 answer:

8 0

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.

Classify methanal according to the position of the c=o group

seraphim [82]

Answer : Methanal also known as Formaldehyde $CH_{2}O$ is a chemical Aldehyde which contain ( -CHO) group.

Explanation :

In organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group which contain a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom i.e, ( C=O).

If carbonyl group is present in a compound then it can be a carboxylic (RCOOH), aldehyde (RCHO), ketone (RCOR'), ester ((RCOOR') or amide (RCONR'R") group.

Here are some functional groups naming according to the IUPAC rules and image also attached,

Carboxylic acid → (RCOOH) → ( name end in 'OIC ACID' )

Aldehyde → (RCOH) → ( name end in 'AL' )

Ketone → (RCOR') → ( name end in 'ONE' )

Ester → (RCOOR') → ( name end in 'ATE' )

Amide → (RCONR'R") → ( name end in 'AMIDE' )

In an aldehyde, atleast one hydrogen atom must be attached to the carbonyl carbon. For an aldehyde, remove ( -e) from alkane name and add ( -al) at the end of the compound.

Methanal is the IUPAC name for Formaldehyde.

A graduated cylinder contains 18.0ml of water. what is the new water level after 35.6g of silver metal with a density of 10.5 g/

AlekseyPX

Answer:

The answer to your question is

1.- Volume = 3.4 ml

2.- Volume = 0.61 ml

3.- Mass = 2872.8 pounds

Explanation:

Problem 1

Volume = 18 ml

mass = 35.6 g

density = 10.5 g/ml

Process

1.- Calculate the volume of silver

Formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

solve for volume

$volume = \frac{mass}{density}$

Substitution

$volume = \frac{35.6}{10.5}$

volume = 3.4 ml

2.- Problem 2

Total volume = ?

Volume = 18 + 3.4

Volume = 21.4 ml

Data

mass = 8.3 g

density = 13.6 g(ml

volume = ?

Formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

Solve for volume

$volume = \frac{mass}{density}$

Substitution

$volume = \frac{8.3}{13.6}$

Result

volume = 0.61 ml

3.- Problem 3

Data

volume = 345 gal

density = 1 g/ml

mass = ?

Formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

Solve for mass

mass = density x volume

Covert gal to ml

1 gal --------------- 3785 ml

345 gal ------------- x

x = (345 x 3785) / 1

x = 1305825 ml

Substitution

mass = 1 x 1305825

mass = 1305825 g

Convert g to pounds

1 g ------------------- 0.0022 pounds

1305825 g ---------------- x

x = (1305825 x 0.0022)

x = 2872.8 pounds

An object has a total mechanical energy of 150 J. At point A, the object has a kinetic energy

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

60 J

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, just converted into different forms. This means the total mechanical energy of the object at point A will be the same as the total mechanical energy at point B, and the question tells us the total of that mechanical energy is 150 J. Note we are assuming no energy is lost from the system as heat.

At point B, if the potential energy is 90 J, the remainder of the 150 J total must be kinetic energy. KE = 150 J - 90 J = 60 J.
