The majority of water molecules moving across plasma membranes by osmosis do so via a process that is most similar to ____.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The answer is Facilitated Diffusion

Explanation:

Osmosis is most similar to facilitated diffusion.

Osmosis can be defined as : Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, down a concentration gradient from a low concentrated solution into a more concentrated solution.

Facilitated diffusion is defined as: Facilitated diffusion is the flow of molecules requiring the aid of a protein, across a membrane, down a concentration gradient  from a low concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.

Chemistry to make tomato soup, you add one can of water to the condensed soup. why is this dilution?
Nastasia [14]
Dilution refers to decreasing the ratio of total solution to the reference solution by the addition of other liquids. By adding water to tomato soup, the balance of “tomato soup” molecules decreases from 100% tomato soup, to eventually 1:1 TS and Water (50%), and so on. Chemically, you can observe this as decreasing the concentration of tomato soup in this solution.

Nata [24]

Answer:

1. How do metals and non-metals react with acids?

Ans : Non metals does not react with acids while metals react with acids and produce hydrogen gas that burns with a 'pop'sound.

2. Write and explain the chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with sulphuric acid and aluminium with hydrochloric acid.

Magnesium + sulphuric acid = Hydrogen + salt

Mg(s) + H2SO4 (aq) MgSO 4(aq) +H2 (g)

Aluminium + Hydrochloric acid = Hydrogen + Aluminium chloride

2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)→2AlCl3(aq)+3H2(g)

The table shows the number of reactants and products present during two separate chemical reactions.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A decomposition reaction is defined as a reaction where a compound dissociates into two or more atoms.

For example, A \rightarrow B + C + D

Whereas a chemical reaction in which two reactants combine together to result in the formation of a compound is known as a synthesis reaction.

For example, A + B \rightarrow C is a synthesis reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement chemical reaction A, because the reactant is a compound identifies the decomposition reaction and describes a substance is involved.
