The picture shows a contractile vacuole of a unicellular freshwater organism. The contractile vacuole regulates the flow of wate

r into and out of the cell in an aquatic environement. What condtions cause the contracile vacuole to fill with water? Your answer: A.The concentration of water is greater outside the cell than inside the cell. B.The concentration of water inside the cell is the same as the concentration outside the cell. C.The temperature of water in the vacuole is higher than the temperature of its environment.

Answer:

A.The concentration of water is greater outside the cell than inside the cell.

Explanation:

The contractile vacuole of certain organisms functions to regulate water flow in and out of the cell. It does this by storing excess water that comes into the cell. In the case of this organism with a filled up contractile vacuole, it means water is flowing into the cell.

Naturally, water will flow into a living cell when an osmotic gradient i.e. difference in concemtration, has been created between intracellular and extracellular solutions. Osmosis involves movement of substances from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration. This means that if water is flowing into the cell, which is stored by the contractile vacuole, the concentration of water must be greater outside the cell than inside.

a chemist dissolves 0.564 moles of manganese (IV) oxide (MnO2) in water, and adds enough water to make 0.510 L of solution. Calc
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The molarity of the solution is 1.1 \frac{moles}{liter}

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of the concentration of that substance that is defined as the number of moles of solute divided by the volume of the solution.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of the solute by the volume of the solution:

molarity=\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume}

Molarity is expressed in units \frac{moles}{liter}

In this case

  • number of moles of solute= 0.564 moles
  • volume= 0.510 L

Replacing:

molarity=\frac{0.564 moles}{0.510 L}

Solving:

molarity= 1.1 \frac{moles}{liter}

<u><em>The molarity of the solution is 1.1 </em></u>\frac{moles}{liter}<u><em></em></u>

Myth: A dead organism is the same as a nonliving thing in science.<br><br> Fact:<br><br> Evidence:
Ilya [14]

I recently did this assignment!

Instructions: Read each myth (untruth). Reword it to make a factual statement. Then, give two to three reasons why the myth is untrue. Use complete sentences and support your answer with evidence, using your own words.  

________________________________________

Answer:

Myth: A dead organism is the same as a nonliving thing in science.

o Fact: In science, dead is the same as nonliving.

o Evidence: Things that are nonliving never had the characteristics of life, and never will. Things that are dead once did have the characteristics of life, but when they die, they lose some of the characteristics. That is why dead and non-living are NOT the same thing.

Hope this helped!

Have an Amazing day!

Manganese dioxide (MnO2(s), Hf = –520.0 kJ) reacts with aluminum to form aluminum oxide (AI2O3(s), Hf = –1699.8 kJ/mol) and mang
Temka [501]

Answer : The enthalpy of the reaction = -1839.6 KJ

Solution : Given,

\Delta (H_{f})_{MnO_{2}} = -520.0 KJ/mole

\Delta (H_{f})_{Al_{2}O_{3}} = -1699.8 KJ/mole

The balanced chemical reaction is,

3MnO_{2}(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 2Al_{2}O_{3}(s)+3Mn(s)

Formula used :

\Delta (H_{f})_{reaction}=\sum n(\Delta H_{f})_{product}-\sum n(\Delta H_{f})_{reactant}

\Delta (H_{f})_{reaction}=(2\times \Delta H_{Al_{2}O_{3}(s)}+3\times \Delta H_{Mn(s)} )-(3\times \Delta H_{MnO_{2}(s) }+4\times\Delta H_{Al}(s))

We know that the standard enthalpy of formation of the element is equal to Zero.

Therefore, the enthalpy of formation of (Mn) and (Al) is equal to zero.

Now, put all the values in above formula, we get

\Delta (H_{f})_{reaction}=[2moles\times (-1699.8 KJ/mole)}+3moles\times (0\text{ KJ/mole}})]-[(3moles\times(-520.0KJ/mole }+4moles\times(0\text{ KJ/mole})]

                        = (-3399.6) + (1560)

                        = -1839.6 KJ

When a substance gains or loses energy, it’s _____ changes, or its _____ chafes. Theses two changes do ___happen at the time ; t
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

When a substance gains or loses energy, its <u>temperature</u> or <u>state</u> changes. These two changes do <u>not</u> happen with respect to time; the temperature remains <u>the same</u> until the change of <u>state</u> is complete.

Explanation:

This statement is about energy and change of the state of the matter. By gaining or losing energy, the physical state of the matter can change into one another. Melting, freezing, condensation, evaporation, sublimation, and deposition are the processes that support to change the physical state of the matter. Change in state and change in the matter do not happen at the same time. A substance gains or loses energy to reach a specific temperature and remains constant until the physical change of matter is completed.
