Answer:
Fe(CN)₂, FeCO₃, Pb(CN)₄, Pb(CO₃)₂
Explanation:
Cations (positively charged ions) can only form ionic bonds with anions (negatively charged ions). However, you can't just simply put one cation and one anion together to form a compound. Each compound needs to been neutral, or have an overall charge of 0. When cations and anions do not have charges that perfectly cancel, you need to modify the amount of each ion in the compound.
1.) Fe(CN)₂
-----> Fe²⁺ and CN⁻
-----> +2 + (-1) + (-1) = 0
2.) FeCO₃
-----> Fe²⁺ and CO₃²⁻
-----> +2 + (-2) = 0
3.) Pb(CN)₄
-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CN⁻
-----> +4 + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) = 0
4.) Pb(CO₃)₂
-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CO₃²⁻
-----> +4 +(-2) + (-2) = 0
Answer:
A.The concentration of water is greater outside the cell than inside the cell.
Explanation:
The contractile vacuole of certain organisms functions to regulate water flow in and out of the cell. It does this by storing excess water that comes into the cell. In the case of this organism with a filled up contractile vacuole, it means water is flowing into the cell.
Naturally, water will flow into a living cell when an osmotic gradient i.e. difference in concemtration, has been created between intracellular and extracellular solutions. Osmosis involves movement of substances from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration. This means that if water is flowing into the cell, which is stored by the contractile vacuole, the concentration of water must be greater outside the cell than inside.
