<u>Answer:</u> Some of the mass gets converted in the form of energy related to mass.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass defect is defined as the difference in the mass of an isotope and the mass number of an atom. Equation representing mass defect is:

\Delta m=[(n_p\times m_p)+(n_n\times m_n)]-M

where,

\Delta m = mass defect of an atom

n_p = number of protons

m_p = mass of one proton

n_n = number of neutrons

m_n = mass of one neutron

M = mass number

The mass number of an atom (mass of nucleus) is always less than the isotopic mass (total mass of its nucleons) because energy is released when nucleus gets formed. This energy is related to mass of the nucleus and is known as binding energy.

Hence, some of the mass gets converted in the form of energy related to mass.

The human eye has an osmotic pressure of 8. 00 atm at 37. 0 °c. what concentration (in moles/l) of a saline (nacl) solution will
Gelneren [198K]

0.3147 concentration (in moles/l) of a saline (NaCl) solution will provide an isotonic eyedrop solution.

Isotonic eye drops

Because it might result in eye discomfort or tissue damage if it is not maintained, isotonicity is regarded as a crucial component of ophthalmic medicines. A few drops of blood are mixed with the test preparation before being examined and judged under a microscope at a magnification of 40. Isotonic solutions are those that have the same amount of water and other solutes in them as the cytoplasm of a cell. Since there is no net gain or loss of water, placing cells in an isotonic solution will not cause them to either shrink or swell.

We can calculate the osmotic pressure exerted by a solution using the following expression.

π = M . R . T

where,

π is the osmotic pressure

M is the molar concentration of the solution

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

The absolute temperature is 37 + 273 = 310 K

π = M . R . T

8 = (X mol/L) . (0.082atm.L/mol.K) . 310 K = 0.3147 mol/L

PLEASE HELP ASAP! 32 mins left! Give the sign of the electrodoes and the reaction of that occurs at each for both voltaic and el
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

In a voltaic cell (one that happens spontaneously), electrons flow from a negative electrode to a positive electrode (anode  cathode). The reaction that happens is a redox reaction where the anode is oxidized (goes from a solid to an ion) and the cathode is reduced (going from an ion to a solid).
