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.

Why are all atoms electrically neutral?
Anna11 [10]

Answer: Atoms are neutral if they have the same number of charged protons and electrons, balancing positive and negative charges. ... This is because water itself has slight charges. Answer 7: Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged).

Calculate the OH− concentration after 53 mL of the 0.100 M KOH has been added to 25.0 mL of 0.200 M HBr. Assume additive vol- um
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{0.0038 mol/L}}

Explanation:

1. Calculate the initial moles of acid and base

\text{moles of acid} = \text{0.0250 L} \times \dfrac{\text{0.200 mol}}{\text{1 L}} = \text{0.005 00 mol}\\\\\text{moles of base} = \text{0.053 L} \times \dfrac{\text{0.100 mol}}{\text{1 L}} = \text{0.0053 mol}

2. Calculate the moles remaining after the reaction

                   OH⁻     +     H₃O⁺ ⟶ 2H₂O

I/mol:      0.0053       0.005 00

C/mol:    -0.00500   -0.005 00

E/mol:      0.0003              0

We have an excess of 0.0003 mol of base.

3. Calculate the concentration of OH⁻

Total volume = 53 mL + 25.0 mL = 78 mL = 0.078 L

\text{[OH}^{-}] = \dfrac{\text{0.0003 mol}}{\text{0.078 L}} = \textbf{0.0038 mol/L}\\\\\text{The final concentration of OH$^{-}$ is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.0038 mol/L}}$}
