How are distillation and reverse osmosis alike?

1 answer:

5 0

I'm having trouble with this one. At the very least, they both purify water. If I'm not mistaken, distillation is part of the process of purifying water.
Really sorry, I hope I helped at least a little! If you have any other questions I might be able to answer better, let me know..

In a certain industrial process involving a heterogeneous catalyst, the volume of the catalyst (in the shape of a sphere) is 10.

Answer:

The second run will be faster - true, the increased surface area of catalyst will increase the rate of reaction

The second run will have the same rate as the first - possible, in case there is a factor other than catalyst limiting the reaction

The second run has twice the surface area - yes, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm

Explanation:

A catalyst is a material which speeds up a reaction without being consumed in the process. A heterogeneous catalyst is one which is of a different phase than the reactants. The effectiveness of a catalyst is dependent on the available surface area. The first step for this question is to determine the total available surface area of catalyst in both processes.

Step 1: Determine radius of large sphere

$V_{L}=\frac{4}{3}*pi*{r_{L}}^{3}$

$10=\frac{4}{3}*pi*{r_{L}}^{3}$

${r_{L}}^{3}=\frac{7.5}{pi}$

$r_{L}=1.337cm$

Step 2: Determine surface area of large sphere

$A_{L}=4*pi*{r_{L}}^{2}$

$A_{L}=4*pi*1.337^{2}$

$A_{L}=22.463 cm^{2}$

Step 3: Determine radius of small sphere

$V_{s}=\frac{4}{3}*pi*{r_{s}}^{3}$

$1.25=\frac{4}{3}*pi*{r_{s}}^{3}$

${r_{s}}^{3}=\frac{0.9375}{pi}$

$r_{s}=0.668cm$

Step 4: Determine surface area of small sphere

$A_{s}=4*pi*{r_{s}}^{2}$

$A_{s}=4*pi*0.668^{2}$

$A_{s}=5.607 cm^{2}$

Step 5: Determine total surface area of 8 small spheres

$A_{S}=8*A_{s}$

$A_{S}=8*5.607$

$A_{S}=44.856 cm^{2}$

$A_{L}=22.463 cm^{2}$ - Surface area of 1 large sphere

$A_{S}=44.856 cm^{2}$ - Surface area of 8 small spheres

Options:

The second run will be faster - true, the increased surface area of catalyst will increase the rate of reaction
The second run will be slower - false, the increased surface area of catalyst will increase the rate of reaction
The second run will have the same rate as the first - possible, in case there is a factor other than catalyst limiting the reaction
The second run has twice the surface area - yes, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm
The second run has eight times the surface area - no, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm
The second run has 10 times the surface area - no, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm

Based on these ideas, what are the pro's and con's for both Sexual Reproduction and Asexual reproduction?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Asexual
Pro:
1. inexpensive to make offspring (usually make a lot at a time and not invest a lot of time in raising them).
2. Do not need a mate to reproduce.
3. Can rapidly expand a population
Con:
1. genetically identical- prone to extinction because once a parasite has evolved to attack a specific genotype, it can kill them all.
2. Lineages usually don't last longer than a couple thousand years

Sexual:
Pros:
1. Genetically unique- so more likely to create a "successful" offspring
2. Lineages more likely to last hundreds of thousands of years

Cons:
1. More effort into creating offspring- require more parental effort
2. STD's- easily to pass
3. need to find a mate or else won't be successful as an organism.

Hope this helps you.
