What is the water potential of a .20 M solution of sucrose in an open beaker at 23 degrees Celsius?

Biology

Dmitrij [34]3 years ago

Answer:

-4.92 bars

Explanation:

<em>The water potential of a solution is the sum of the pressure potential and the solute potential of the solution. This can be mathematically expressed as;</em>

Фw = Фp + Фs, where Фw = water potential, Фp = pressure potential, and Фs = solute potential.

For a solution that is in an open beaker, the Фp = 0. hence

Фw = -Фs

Also,

Фs = iCRT, where i = number of particles the molecule will make in water (1 for sucrose), C = molar concentration, R = pressure constant (usually 0.0831 liter bar/mole K), and T = temperature (in kelvin).

In this case, i = 1, C = 0.20 M, R = 0.0831, T = 273+23

Фs = 1 x 0.20 x 0.0831 x 296 = 4.92 bars

Therefore,

Фw = -4.92 bars

Explain the difference between fire resistance and flame spread. describe the hazards firefighters should be aware of during the
Kaylis [27]

Fire resistance is where the amount of time that material has withstood a standard fire exposure whereas flame spread is the speed at which a flame spread along the surface of a specific material and is considered as the difference between fire resistance and flame spread.

Fire resistance is the resistance to fire that is for a particular specified time and is under circumstances of standard heat intensity. It will not structurally fail or else allow the transition of heat and also not permit the side away from the fire so as to become hotter than a temperature that is specified well.

Flame spread is described as the surface burning characteristics enhanced by building materials. It is the most tested property of the fire performance of a material.

Firefighters should be aware of the growth and spread of a fire as they face respiratory hazards in emergency situations which include oxygen deficiency,  temperature elevation, smoke as well as toxic atmospheres. This can also affect both the physical and mental effects of the firefighter and would be worse if proper respirator precautions are not followed.

This indicates that firefighters are regularly exposed to certain concentrations of hazardous materials that include carcinogenic products such as carbon monoxide, benzene, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, aldehydes as well as particulates.

Which of the cell types shown helps determine capillary permeability?
alexira [117]

The correct answer to this is:

“Astrocytes”

Astrocytes also called star cells due to their shape are the most abundant glial cells in the brain. Extensions from these cells encase capillaries and offer extra control over which materials enter or leave the intercellular fluid of the CNS thus acting like a permeability membrane.
