Answer:
290.32 g
Explanation:
First we <u>calculate the volume</u> of the cube:
- Volume = (3.20 cm)³ = 32.768 cm³
Now we <u>convert cubic centimeters to mililiters</u>:
- 32.768 cm³ * 1 mL / 1 cm³ = 32.768 mL
Finally we <u>calculate the mass</u>, using the <em>equation for density</em>:
- mass = 8.86 g/mL * 32.768 mL = 290.32 g
Answer:
B) Osmosis of water molecules from unknown solution A likely caused the increase in mass observed.
Explanation:
Osmosis is a type of <em>diffusion </em>(a random movement of molecules to an area of lower concentration from an area of higher concentration) of water. Like other molecules, water can pass through a cell membrane and it will diffuse across the membrane, along its own concentration gradient independent of other particles that could be present in solution. The concentration of water in a solution is <em>inversely </em>(opposite) related to the concentration of the solute, meaning that water will move from a region of high water potential to a region of lower water potential during osmosis.
Unknown solution A had the highest water potential with a sucrose concentration of 0.0 M. This means that water diffused through the membranes of the cells in the sweet potato cube as it moved along its own <em>concentration gradient</em> (from a region of high water potential to a region of lower water potential) causing an increase in the mass of the sweet potato cube
I think the answer is D (number 4)
The quality of being easily dissolved in liquid.
Hope this help and Happy holidays
H2O is the missing reactant.
Just a caveat: this equation isn’t balanced.
