The wastewater solution from a factory containing high levels of salts needs to be diluted before it can be released into the en

vironment. Therefore, two containers of waste solution are separated by a semipermeable membrane and pressure is applied to one container, forcing only water molecules through the membrane and diluting the waste solution in the other container. As dilution continues, higher and higher pressures are needed to counteract the natural tendency for the water molecules to have a net flow back toward the more concentrated solution.
What was the applied pressure at the end of this process if the final concentrations of the solutions were 0.048 M and 0.190 M at a temperature of 23 C?

Answer:

3.5 atm

Explanation:

As stated in the question pressure is required to counteract the natural tendency  for water to dilute the more concentrated solution. The difference in concentrations will give us the answer using the osmotic pressure equation.

π = ( n/v)  RT where n/v is the molarity (mol/L), R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

The difference in osmotic pressure of the solutions is:

Δπ = Δ c RT where c is the difference in molar concentrations.

pressure required = Δπ = (0.190 - 0.048) M x 0.821 Latm/Kmol x 298 K

= 3.47 atm

A negative ion is (larger/smaller) than its parent atom.<br> Why?
Kay [80]

Answer:

When an atom attracts extra electrons it becomes a negative ion. The negative ion is larger than the original atom. The positive nucleus remains the same, with the same attractive force. However, this attractive force is now pulling on more electrons and therefore has less effect.

Or

Positive ions are formed by removing one or more electrons from the outermost region of the atom. The opposite is true of negative ions. When electrons are added to form an anion, the increased electron-electron repulsions cause the electrons to spread out more in space. Thus, anions are larger than their parent atoms.

During glycolysis, for every 6 moles of glucose that enter the pathway, how many moles of atp are used? how many moles atp are g
Goryan [66]
During the process of glycolysis 1 mole of glucose yields 2 pyruvic acid. In the process 2 ATPs molecules are used up and 4 other ATP molecules are produced by substrate level phosphorylation and 2 NADH are also produced. Therefore; for six moles of glucose; 12 ATP molecules will be used up, 24 ATP molecules will be generated, 12 moles of NADH will be used and 12 moles of pyruvate are made.

How many grams of Mg are needed to produce 224 g of MgO in the complete reaction of Mg
zmey [24]

Answer:

134.4 g of Mg

Explanation:

reaction:

2Mg + O2 ➡️ 2MgO

1) find the mol of MgO

mol = mass / molar mass

mass = 224 g

molar mass = 24+16 = 40

mol = 224 / 40

= 5.6 moles

2 mol = 5.6 moles

2) find the mass of Mg

mass = mol × molar mass

mol = 5.6

molar mass = 24

mass = 5.6 × 24

= 134.4 g
