In which solution might a cell maintain homeostasis through diffusion?. . A isotonic. B hypertonic. C hypotonic. D concentrated

1 answer:

7 0

A as if the cell is placed in a solution with the same solute and water potential as it no water moves in nor out so the cells remains in homoeostasis

hope that helps

A 0.4647-g sample of a compound known to contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen was burned in oxygen to yield 0.01962 mol of

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can show how the empirical formula is found by following the shown below procedure:

1. Compute the moles of carbon in carbon dioxide as the only source of carbon at the products:

$n_C=0.01962molCO_2*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2} =0.01962molC$

2. Compute the moles of hydrogen in water as the only source of hydrogen at the products:

$n_H=0.01961molH_2O*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=0.03922molH$

3. Compute the mass of oxygen by subtracting the mass of both carbon and hydrogen from the 0.4647-g sample:

$m_O=0.4647g-0.01962molC*\frac{12gC}{1molC}-0.03922molH*\frac{1gH}{1molH} =0.1900gO$

4. Compute the moles of oxygen by using its molar mass:

$n_O=0.1900gO*\frac{1molO}{16gO}=0.01188molO$

5. Divide the moles of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen by the moles of oxygen (smallest one) to find the subscripts in the empirical formula:

$C=\frac{0.01962}{0.01188}=1.65\\ \\H=\frac{0.03922}{0.01188} =3.3\\\\O=\frac{0.01188}{0.01188} =1$

6. Search for the closest whole number (in this case multiply by 2):

$C_3H_6O_2$

Moreover, the empirical formula suggests this compound could be carboxylic acid since it has two oxygen atoms, nevertheless, this is not true since the molar mass is 222.27 g/mol, therefore, we should compute the molar mass of the empirical formula, that is:

$M=12*3+1*6+16*2=74g/mol$

Which is about three times in the molecular formula, for that reason, the actual formula is:

$C_9H_{18}O_6$

It suggest that the compound has a highly oxidizing character due to the presence of oxygen, therefore, we cannot predict the distribution of the functional groups as it could contain, carboxyl, carbonyl, hydroxyl or even peroxi.

Best regards.

Estimate the Calorie content of 65 g of candy from the following measurements. A 15-g sample of the candy is placed in a small a

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The calorie content of 65g of candy is 326.78 cal

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the candy = 15.00 grams

Mass of the container = 0.325 kg

Mass of water = 1.75kg

0.624 kg at an initial temperature of 15.0°C.

The specific heat of aluminium = 0.22 Cal/kg°C

The specific heat of water = 1 cal/kg°C

Step 2: Calculate calorie content for a 15 gram sample

ΔQ = Σm*c*ΔT

⇒ m = mass in grams

⇒ with c= the specific heat in Cal/kg°C

⇒ with ΔT = T2 -T1 = the change in temperatures in °C

ΔQ = m(bomb) * C(aluminium) * ΔT + m(cup) * C(aluminium) * ΔT + m(H2O) * c(H20) * ΔT

ΔQ = (m(bomb) + m(cup)) * c(aluminium) + m(H2O)*c(H20) ) * ΔT

⇒ with mass of the bomb calorimeter = 0.325 kg

⇒ with mass of the cup = 0.624 kg

⇒ with c(aluminium) = the specific heat of aluminium = 0.22 Cal/kg°C

⇒ with mass of water = 1.75 kg

⇒ with c(water) = the heat capacity of water = 1 Cal/kg°C

⇒ with ΔT = the change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 53.5 - 15.0 = 38.5 °C

ΔQ = 0.325*0.22*38.5 + 0.624*0.22*38.5 + 1.75*1*38.5

ΔQ = ((0.325 + 0.624)*0.22 + 1.75*1)*38.5

ΔQ = 75.41 cal

Step 3: Calculate the calorie content for a 65 gram sample

For a 65g sample the calorie content will be more or less 4x higher than a 15 gram sample:

ΔQ = 75.41 * (65/15) = 326.78 cal

Imagine a balloon is made from a membrane that's permeable to water but not sucrose molecules. How would the concentration of su

Blababa [14]

Answer:

The concentration of sucrose will decrease.

Explanation:

The balloon contains 50% sucrose solution.

Diffusion is the net movement of the substance from the region of the higher concentration to the region of the lower concentration.

Given that the membrane is only permeable to water not sucrose. So, movement of sucrose will not take place. <u>When the balloon is placed in a beaker of water, by the process of diffusion, the water moves from beaker to balloon and thus, the balloon will expand and the concentration of sucrose solution will decrease.</u>
