Answer:

d. ion pairing

Explanation:

  • The measure of the effect of a solute upon the colligative properties of a solution is known as the Van't Hoff factor.
  • Mathematically, the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass is the Van't Hoff factor.
  • If we consider the electrolytes than the Van't Hoff factor should be equal to the number of discrete ions in a formula unit of the substance, however, this is not true and the van't Hoff factor is always less than the expected value as ion-pairing takes place in the solutions.
  • Ion pairing takes place when ions of opposite electrical charge come together in solution and form a distinct chemical entity.

Answer:

The correct answer is option d. "ion pairing".

Explanation:

The van't Hoff factor is defined as the ratio between the actual concentration of particles when are in a dissolved state in comparison to the theoretical concentration calculated from its mass. The observed van't Hoff factor for an electrolyte is less than the expected factor because of the ion pairing effect. Ion pairing is the association of ions because of having opposite charges. When ion pairing takes place in a solution, two ions association would apparently be one, which reduces the observed van't Hoff factor in comparison to the theoretical.

How does phospholipid structure relate to the selective permeability of the plasma membrane? a critical feature of the plasma me
Katen [24]
The structure of plasma membrane makes it selectively permeable allowing it to regulate the passage of substances into and out of the cell. Small nonpolar molecules can easily across the phospholipid bilayer of plasma membrane because it is hydrophobic. Polar molecules and ion cannot easily across the hydrophobic portion of plasma membrane because it is hydrophilic. Polar molecules and ions usually across the plasma membrane with the help of transport proteins.

Answer:

This graph is showing how different rates of light intensity, environmental temperature, and Carbon dioxide affect the rate of photosynthesis. It looks like the greatest rate of photosynthesis has .13% Co2 at 30 degress celsius.

Explanation:

I was always taught that they y-axis is the dependent variable and going off that, all the other variables can be controlled and changed.
