<u>Answer:</u> C) be hypertonic to Tank B.
<u>Explanation: </u>
<u>
The ability of an extracellular solution to move water in or out of a cell by osmosis</u> is known as its tonicity. Additionally, the tonicity of a solution is related to its osmolarity, which is the <u>total concentration of all the solutes in the solution.
</u>
Three terms (hypothonic, isotonic and hypertonic) are used <u>to compare the osmolarity of a solution with respect to the osmolarity of the liquid that is found after the membrane</u>. When we use these terms, we only take into account solutes that can not cross the membrane, which in this case are minerals.
- If the liquid in tank A has a lower osmolarity (<u>lower concentration of solute</u>) than the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be hypotonic with respect to the latter.
- If the liquid in tank A has a greater osmolarity (<u>higher concentration of solute</u>) than the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be hypertonic with respect to the latter.
- If the liquid in tank A has the same osmolarity (<u>equal concentration of solute</u>) as the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be isotonic with respect to the latter.
In the case of the problem, option A is impossible because the minerals can not cross the membrane, since it is permeable to water only. There is no way that the concentration of minerals decreases in tank A, so <u>the solution in this tank can not be hypotonic with respect to the one in Tank B. </u>
Equally, both solutions can not be isotonic and neither we can say that the solution in tank A has more minerals that the one in tank B because the liquid present in tank B is purified water that should not have minerals. Therefore, <u>options B and D are also not correct.</u>
Finally, the correct option is C, since in the purification procedure the water is extracted from the solution in tank A to obtain a greater quantity of purified water in tank B. In this way, the solution in Tank A would be hypertonic to Tank B.
Answer is: coefficient is one.
Chemical reaction: SiO₂ + 4HF → SiF₄ + 2H₂O.
Reaction is balanced when there are equal numbers of elements in both side of the chemical reaction.
HF - hydrofluoric acid, <span>highly corrosive, dissolves many materials.</span>
SiF₄ - silicon tetrafluoride.
So the equation is balanced, meaning they have the smallest amounts of each element in the reactants to create the products.
So, 2 moles of H2S (the coefficient) contributes to 2 moles Ag2S, which is why the ratio is 2:2.
I hope that made sense.
