What happened to the average length of the potato cylinders (increased/decreased/remained the same) as the concentration of salt

in the external solution increased

Answer:

Increased

Explanation:

Answer:

Decreased

Explanation:

As the concentration of salt in the external solution increased, the water potential of the external solution lowers.

The water potential of the cytoplasm inside potato cells becomes higher than that of the external solution.

There is a net movement of water molecules from the cytoplasms of potato cells to the external solution by osmosis, (because in osmosis, water molecules tend to move from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a semi-permeable membrane- which is the potato cell membrane in this case)

As the potato cells lose so much water, the cells shrink hence the average length of potato cylinders decrease.

Rank the following acids in order of increasing acid strength. Key: Weakening of hydrogen bond and stability of resulting anion.
raketka [301]

Explanation:

The given compounds are oxyacids and in these compounds more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be its acidic strength.

This is because more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be the polarity of OH bond. As a result, the compound can readily lose H^{+} ion.

Also, more is the electronegativity of central atom more will be the stability of conjugate base formed.

Thus, we can conclude that given compounds are arranged in increasing acid strength as follows.

       HOI < HOBr_{2} < HOCl_{3} < HOF

If the ph of a solution is decreased from ph 8 to ph 6 it means that the
saw5 [17]

Explanation:

Relation between pH and concentration of hydrogen ions is as follows.

                  pH = -log [H^{+}]

So, it means that an increase in the value of pH will show that there occurs a decrease in concentration of hydrogen ions.

Therefore, the solution becomes basic in nature.

On the other hand, a decrease in the value of pH will show that there occurs an increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions.

Therefore, the solution becomes more acidic in nature.

Hence, if the pH of a solution is decreased from pH 8 to pH 6 it means that the concentration of hydrogen ions has increased in the solution.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

P = 0.0166 mm Hg

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to use the Clausius Clapeyron equation, which is a commonly used expression to calculate vapour pressure at a given temperature. We have the enthalpy of vaporization of the mercury, so, let's write the equation:

Clausius Clapeyron equation:

Ln (P₂ / P₁) = (-ΔHv / R)(1/T₂ - 1/T₁)    (1)

Where:

R: universal constant of gases (8.314 J / K.mol)

P₂: Vapour pressure at 43°C (or 316 K)

P₁: Pressure of mercury at the boiling point (1 atm)

T₂: temperature at 43 °C

T₁: Boiling point of mercury (357 °C or 630 K)

As we are given the boiling point of the mercury, we can safely assume that the pressure at this point is 1 atm, becuase remember that when a sustance boils, is because it's internal pressure has reached the atmospherical pressure of 1 atm. With this clear, all we just need to do is solve for P₂. We are going to do this very slowly so you can understand the process. First let's replace the given data:

Ln (P₂ / 1) = (-59100 J/mol / 8.314 J / K.mol) (1/316 - 1/630)

Ln P₂ = -7108.49 * (3.16x10⁻³ - 1.59x10⁻³)

Ln P₂ = -7108.49 * (1.51x10⁻³)

Ln P₂ = -10.7338

P₂ = 10⁽⁻¹⁰°⁷³³⁸⁾

P₂ = 2.18x10⁻⁵ atm

We can express this value in mm Hg and it will be:

P₂ = 2.18x10⁻⁵ * 760

<h2>P₂ = 0.0166 mm Hg</h2>

Hope this helps
