Answer:

The correct answer is A: Hypertonic solution

Explanation:

Syrup is a solution with a high concentration of sugar. When you put the fruit in this solution, the syrup concentration is higher than the sugar concentration inside the fruit, this is called an hypertonic solution. Consequently, there is a gradient of concentration between the interior of fruit cells and the exterior. The water will go out from the cells towards the exterior, in favor of the concentration gradient. In this way, you are removing water from inside the fruit (drying).

A CaCl2 solution is given to increase blood levels of calcium. If a patient receives 6.1 mL of a 12 % (m/v) CaCl2 solution, how

Yuliya22 [10]

Mass of CaCl₂ = 0.732 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The concentration of a substance can be expressed in several quantities such as moles, percent (%) weight / volume,), molarity, molality, parts per million (ppm) or mole fraction. The concentration shows the amount of solute in a unit of the amount of solvent.

$\tt \%(m/v)\rightarrow 12\%=\dfrac{mass~CaCl_2}{volume~of~solution}\times 100\%\\\\mass~CaCl_2=12\%\times 6.1\div 100\%\\\\mass~CaCl_2=0.732~g$

Which of the following below is the complete ionic equation of the reaction: Calcium nitrate and sodium sulfide solutions react

3241004551 [841]

To find the net ionic equation we must first write the balanced equation for the reaction. We must bear in mind that the reagents Ca(NO3)2 and Na2S are in the aqueous state and as product we will have CaS in the solid state, since it is not soluble in water and NaNO3 in the aqueous state.

The balanced equation of the reaction will be:

$Ca(NO_3)_{2(aq)}+Na_2S_{(aq)}\rightarrow CaS_{(s)}+2NaNO_{3(aq)}$

Ca(NO3)2(aq) + → Ca(aq) + 2Na(s)NO3Now, c(aq)ompounds in the aqueous state can be written in their ionic form, so the reaction will transform into:Na2S +

$Ca_{(aq)}^{2+}+2(NO_3)_{(aq)}^-+2Na_{(aq)}^++S_{(aq)}^{2-}\operatorname{\rightarrow}CaS_{(s)}+2Na_{(aq)}^++2NO^-_{3(aq)}$

So, the answer will be option A

Why does a heating curve have horizontal plateaus at certain points during the heating process? What is happening at those point

DENIUS [597]

A heating curve having horizontal plateaus at certain points during the heating process means that the process occurs at increase heating.
