Answer:

Solution A: crenation

Solution B: hemolysis

Solution C: hemolysis

Solution D: crenation

Solution E: crenation

Explanation:

Hemolysis is the rupturing of red blood cells, which results in the release of hemoglobin (from within the red blood cells) into the plasma. If a red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will flow into the cell, the cell will swell and hemolysis will.

Crenation: when a red blood cell is placed in a <em>hypertonic solution (</em>such as highly saline solution), the red blood cell will lose water(osmosis) and will shrink in size. The red blood cell has undergone crenation.

In order for a red blood cell to prevent from undergoing hemolysis or crenation, the cell must be placed in an<em> isotonic solution, </em>i.e either in <u>0.9% (m/v) NaCl solution</u> or <u>5% glucose solution</u>

  • Solution B and Solution C are hypotonic solution, thus red blood cell has undergone hemolysis.
  • Solution A, D and E are hypertonic solution. thus red blood cell has undergone crenation

Explain why ice is able to float on water
agasfer [191]

Ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water. ... The heavier water displaces the lighter ice, so ice floats to the top. One consequence of this is that lakes and rivers freeze from top to bottom, allowing fish to survive even when the surface of a lake has frozen over

Compare an ionic and a molecular compound in terms of how each is formed
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Molecular compounds are pure substances formed when atoms are linked together by sharing of electrons while ionic compounds are formed due to the transfer of electrons.

Molecular compounds are made due to covalent bonding while ionic compounds are made due to ionic bonding.

in order to find the molar mass of an unknown compound, a research scientist prepared a solution of 0.930 g of an unknown in 125
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Molar mass→ 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol

Explanation:

Let's apply the formula for freezing point depression:

ΔT = Kf . m

ΔT = 74.2°C - 73.4°C → 0.8°C

Difference between the freezing T° of pure solvent and freezing T° of solution

Kf = Cryoscopic constant → 5.5°C/m

So, if we replace in the formula

ΔT = Kf . m → ΔT / Kf = m

0.8°C / 5.5 m/°C = m → 0.0516 mol/kg

These are the moles in 1 kg of solvent so let's find out the moles in our mass of solvent which is 0.125 kg

0.0516 mol/kg . 0.125 kg = 6.45×10⁻³ moles. Now we can determine the molar mass:

Molar mass (mol/kg) → 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol

35000 kJ/ 0.250 s <br><br> kJ is kilojoules
mario62 [17]
The unit 'kJ' or kilojoules is a unit of measurement for energy. It is equivalent to the SI units kg·m²/s². When energy is divided with time, that unit is now in terms of work, which energy per unit time. The parameter kJ/s is equivalent to kW or kilowatts.

Work = 35,000 kJ/0.250 s = <em>140,000 kW</em>
