The osmolarity (osmotic concentration) of the filtrate does not change from the beginning to the end of the promixal convoluted

tubule (PCT), staying out 300 mOsm/L. What does this mean in terms of reabsorption and secretion of water and solutes between the beginning and end of the PCT

Answer:Although the kidneys are the major osmoregulatory organ, the skin and lungs also play a role in the process. Water and electrolytes are lost through sweat glands in the skin, which helps moisturize and cool the skin surface, while the lungs expel a small amount of water in the form of mucous secretions and via evaporation of water vapor.

Kidneys: The Main Osmoregulatory Organ

The kidneys, illustrated in Figure 22.4, are a pair of bean-shaped structures that are located just below and posterior to the liver in the peritoneal cavity. The adrenal glands sit on top of each kidney and are also called the suprarenal glands. Kidneys filter blood and purify it. All the blood in the human body is filtered many times a day by the kidneys; these organs use up almost 25 percent of the oxygen absorbed through the lungs to perform this function. Oxygen allows the kidney cells to efficiently manufacture chemical energy in the form of ATP through aerobic respiration. The filtrate coming out of the kidneys is called urine.

What pressure (in atm) will a sample of o2 gas occupy at 100.0 ml, if o2 has a volume of 25.00 ml at 2.0 atm?
xeze [42]

Assuming that the O2 gas acts like an ideal gas, we find the following expression to be approximates of the behaviour of this gas:

<span>P V = n R T                   ---> 1</span>

where,

P = pressure exerted by the gas

V = volume occupied

n = number of moles

R = universal gas constant

T = absolute temperature

Further, we assume that the number of moles and the temperature are constant, hence reducing equation 1 into the form:

<span>P V = k                         ---> 2</span>

where k is a constant. Therefore we can equate two states:

P1 V1 = P2 V2

Since P1, V1 and V2 are given and we are to look for P2:

25 mL * 2 atm = 100 mL * P2

<span>P2 = 0.5 atm</span>

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

60 g/L is the final concentration of NaI solution .

Explanation:

Molarity of NaI solution before evaporation =M_1= 0.2 M

Volume of NaI solution before evaporation =V_1= 2.0 L

Molarity of NaI solution after evaporation =M_2= ?

Volume of NaI solution after evaporation =V_2= 1.0 L

M_1V_1=M_2V_2 ( dilution)

M_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{V_2}=\frac{0.2 M\times 2.0 L}{1.0 L}=0.4 M

Molar mass of NaI = 150 g/mol

Concentration of NaI after evaporation :

0.4 M × 150 g/mol = 60 g/L

60 g/L is the final concentration of NaI solution .

A sealed plastic bag is filled with 1 l of air and has a pressure of 101.3 kpa. You sit on the bag and the pressure increases to
sesenic [268]

Answer:

The answer to your question is   V2 = 0.203 kPa

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 1l

Pressure 1 = P1 = 101.3 kPa

Volume 2= V2 = ?

Pressure 2 = 500 kPa

Process

- Use the Boyle's law to solve this problem

               P1V1 = P2V2

-Solve for V2

              V2 = P1V1/P2

-Substitution

             V2 = (101.3 x 1) / 500

-Simplification

            V2 = 101.3 / 500

-Result

            V2 = 0.203 kPa
