Increased

Explanation:

Tresset [83]3 years ago

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.

What can be said about a reaction with H = 62.4 kJ/mol and S = 0.145 kJ/(mol·K)?
Zigmanuir [339]
Answer:

At 430.34 K the reaction will be at equilibrium, at  T > 430.34 the reaction will be spontaneous, and at T < 430.4K the reaction will not occur spontaneously.

Explanation:

1) Variables:

G = Gibbs energy
H = enthalpy
S = entropy

2) Formula (definition)

G = H + TS

=> ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

3) conditions

ΔG < 0 => spontaneous reaction
ΔG = 0 => equilibrium
ΔG > 0 non espontaneous reaction

4) Assuming the data given correspond to ΔH and ΔS

ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS = 62.4 kJ/mol + T 0.145 kJ / mol * K

=>  T = [ΔH - ΔG] / ΔS

ΔG = 0 =>  T = [ 62.4 kJ/mol - 0 ] / 0.145 kJ/mol*K = 430.34K

This is, at 430.34 K the reaction will be at equilibrium, at  T > 430.34 the reaction will be spontaneous, and at T < 430.4K the reaction will not occur spontaneously.

What is the percent of Cr in Cr2O3
IgorLugansk [536]
The percentage of Chromium in Chromium Oxide is calculated as follow,

Step 1:
           Calculate Molar mass of Cr₂O₃,
Cr = 51.99 u
O = 16 u
So,
     2(51.99) + 3(16) = 103.98 + 48 = 151.98 u

Step 2:
          Secondly divide molar mass of only chromium with total mass of Cr₂O₃ and multiply with 100.
i.e.
                   = \frac{103.98}{151.98} × 100
                   
                   = 68.41 %
So, the %age composition of chromium in chromium oxide is 68.41 %.

The half-life for beta decay of strontium-90 is 28.8 years. a milk sample is found to contain 10.3 ppm strontium-90. how many ye
ryzh [129]

Answer : The correct answer is 96.68 yrs

Radioactivity Decay :

it is a process in which a nucleus of unstable atom emit energy in form of radiations like alpha particle , beta particle etc .

Radioactive decay follows first order kinetics , so its rate , rate constant , amount o isotopes can be calculated using first order equations .

The first order equation for radioactive decay can be expressed as :

ln \frac{N}{N_0}  = - k*t ----------- equation (1)

Where : N = amount of radioisotope after time "t"

N₀ = Initial amount of radioisotope

k = decay constant and t = time

Following steps can be used to find time :

1) To find deacy constant :

Decay constant can be calculated using half life . Decay constant and half life can be related as :

T _\frac{1}{2} = \frac{ln2}{k} ---------equation (2)

Given : Half life of Strontium -90 = 28.8 years

Plugging value of T_\frac{1}{2} in above formula (equation 2) :

28.8 yrs = \frac{ln 2}{ k }

Multiply both side by k

28.8 yrs * k = \frac{ln 2 }{k} * k

Dividing both side by 28.8 yrs

\frac{28.8 yrs * k}{28.8 yrs} = \frac{ln 2}{28.8 yrs}

(ln 2 = 0.693 )

k = 0.0241 yrs⁻¹

Step 2 : To find time :

Given : N₀ = 10.3 ppm N = 1.0 ppm k = 0.0241 yrs⁻¹

Plugging these value in equation (1) as :

ln (\frac{1.0 ppm}{10.3 ppm} ) = - 0.0241 yrs^-^1 * t

ln (0.0971 ) = -0.0241 yrs ^-^1 * t

(ln 0.0971 = - 2.33 )

Dividing both side by - 0.0241 yrs⁻¹

\frac{-2.33}{-0.0241 yrs^-^1} = \frac{-0.0241 yrs^-^1 * t}{-0.0241 yrs^-^1}

t = 96.68 yrs

Hence the concentration of Strontium-90 will drop from 10.3 ppm to 1.0 ppm is 96.68 yrs
