Oil molecules like to stick to other oil molecules more than they like to stick to water molecules. This is because mineral oil has nonpolar molecules and water has polar ones.

When the isotonic saline solution described in part A is connected to an unknown solution via a semipermeable membrane, the unkn
ozzi

B. The unknown solution had the lower concentration.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a phenomenon in which the molecules of the solvent has a tendency to move through a membrane which is semipermeable from lower concentrated side to the higher concentration side, so that the concentrations on both sides of the membrane must be equal.

So the unknown solution may have lesser concentration than the isotonic solution so that molecules of that solution move from less concentrated side to the more concentrated side, so its level drops.

Which of the following statements about Avogadro’s Law is false? a. One mole of He occupies 22.4 L at STP. b. At constant P and
Ronch [10]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question which  statements about Avogadro’s Law is false is

c. At constant T and P, doubling the moles of gas decreases the volume by half.

Explanation:

Avogadro's law describes the relationship between the volume of a mass of gas and the number of moles present. Avogadro's law states that at standard (or the same) temperature and pressure, equal volumes od all gases contain equal number of molecules

That is mathematically

\frac{V_{1} }{n_{1} }  =  \frac{V_{2} }{n_{2} }  where

V₁ = volume  of first sample

V₂ = volume  of second sample

n₁ = number of moles in first sample

n₂ = number of moles in second sample

Mercury has an atomic mass of 200.59 amu. calculate the mass of 3.0 x 10^10 atoms
Licemer1 [7]
To determine mass of the given number of atoms of mercury, we need a factor that would relate the number of atoms to number of moles. In this case, we use the Avogadro's number. It is a <span>number that represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. The number of units could be atoms, molecules, ions or electrons. To convert into mass, we use the given amu of mercury since it is equal to grams per mole. We calculate as follows:

</span>3.0 x 10^10 atoms ( 1 mol / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms ) ( 200.59 g / 1 mol ) = 9.99x10^-12 g Hg
