Answer:
The SimCell will expand due to net movement of alcohol into the cell
Explanation:
Since the SimCell is only permeable to alcohol and not water, only alcohol can move in and out of the cell. Hence, if a SimCell that contains 20% alcohol and 0% water is placed in a solution containing 40% alcohol and 60% water, there would be a net movement of alcohol from the surrounding solution into the SimCell till equilibrium concentration of alcohol is established between the SimCell and the surrounding solution.
<em>Therefore, the SimCell will expand due to the net movement of alcohol into the cell.</em>
The three changes of state during which energy is absorbed are:
1. Change from solid to liquid - Melting.
2. Change from liquid to gas - Vaporization
3. Change from solid to gas - Sublimation
All these changes of state require heat energy to break the attractive forces that hold the particles of the molecules together, so that they can move into more disorderly states. For instance, when heat is applied to a solid, the solid absorbs the heat and use it to break the attractive forces that are holding the molecules of the solid together. At a particular temperature, the attractive forces will be completely overcome and the solid framework will collapse, thus leading to the melting of the solid.
A conclusion is a final answer backed by evidence. An inference is a reasonable guess.
