On a lab bench, there are four balloons filled with identical volumes of different salt solutions: 0% (balloon A), 5% (balloon B

), 10% (balloon C), and 15% (balloon D). There are also four beakers each filled with identical volumes of a 10% salt solution. The balloons are semi-permeable; that is, only water can enter and exit the balloon. All four balloons are placed in separate beakers at the same time and are allowed to come to equilibrium. Which is the correct order of balloon volumes at equilibrium, from largest to smallest

<h2>Osmosis.</h2>

Explanation:

The correct order of balloon volumes at equilibrium, from largest to smallest:

Balloon D  > Balloon C > Balloon B > Balloon A.

Osmosis is defined as the process of  movement of water molecules from the region of their higher concentration to the region of their lower concentration i.e. from a less concentrated concentrated solution to a solution with greater concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

So , In case of balloon A and B water will move out of them and at equilibrium it will have reduced volumes. However, A will lose more water that B.

In case of Balloon C no water movement will be observed it will remain constant.

In case of Balloon D, Water will move inside the balloon and its volume will increase.

Thus at equilibrium the  order of balloon volumes will be :

Balloon D  > Balloon C > Balloon B > Balloon A.

How are the hydrogen bonds in water responsible for many of the molecules unique characteristics?
DiKsa [7]

Hydrogen bonds exhibit the stronger intermolecular force, and water is a polar molecule, so the hydrogen bonding create strong forces which take more energy to break (causing the surface tension of water), and due to the polarity water molecules “stick” to one another which causes the edges to rise up in a tube, forming a meniscus

Evolution is one of the unifying themes of biology. Evolution involves change in the frequencies of alleles in a population. For
lapo4ka [179]

A Mutation occurring in the population will change the allelic ratio.

<h3>What is evolution?</h3>

Evolution refers to the changes that occurs in organisms over a long period of time such that those changes results in new species better adapted to their environment and having higher specialization.

One of the factors of evolution is mutation.

According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, the allele and genotype frequencies of a population of organism in equilibrium will remain constant in the absence of evolutionary influences.

Therefore, if a mutation occurs in the population, the allelic ratio will change.
