When cells need to gain or get rid of certain things, diffusion is a form of passive transport that does not require a cell to expand any energy.

Diffusion, put simply, is a way for things to move in and out of the cell. The cell uses diffusion to take in oxygen and glucose and push out carbon dioxide.

If the partial pressure of oxygen outside of a cell is 100 mmHg and the partial pressure of oxygen inside of a cell is 25 mmHg,
mrs_skeptik [129]

" There will be a net movement of oxygen from outside the cell to inside the cell " Statement is True.

Explanation:

The partial pressure for oxygen in alveoli is greater under normal circumstances, and oxygen moves neatly into the blood. In addition, the partial carbon dioxide pressure throughout the blood usually is higher, such that carbon dioxide migrate clearly into the alveoli.

The few common molecules which can traverse the cell membrane by absorption (or diffusion of a sort recognized as osmosis) are water, carbon dioxide and oxygen. Metabolism is typically oxygen-needed, which is lowest in the cell within the animal and plant, so that net oxygen flows to the cell.

1. Magnesium chloride solution reacts with silver nitrate solution to form magnesium nitrate
Whitepunk [10]

a. 1,4332 g

b. 7.54~g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

MgCl2 (s) + 2 AgNO3 (aq) → Mg(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 AgCl (s)

20 cm of 2.5 mol/dm^3 of MgCl2

20 cm of 2.5 g/dm^3 of MgCl2

Required

the mass of silver chloride - AgCl

Solution

a. mol MgCl2 :

\tt 20~cm^3=20\times 10^{-3}~dm^3\\\\mol=M\times V\\\\mol=2.5~mol/dm^3\times 20\times 10^{-3}DM^3=0.05

From equation, mol AgCl = 2 x mol MgCl2=2 x 0.05=0.1

mass AgCl(MW=143,32 g/mol)= 0.1 x 143,32=1,4332 g

b. mol MgCl2 (MW=95.211 /mol):

\tt mol=M\times V\\\\mol=\dfrac{2.5~g/dm^3}{95,211 g/mol}=0.0263~mol/dm^3

From equation, mol AgCl = 2 x mol MgCl2=2 x 0.0263=0.0526

mass AgCl(MW=143,32 g/mol)= 0.0526 x 143,32=7.54~g

Calculate the mass of Cr(ClO2)2 that contains 5.57 × 10<br> ^22 chlorine atoms.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Your strategy here will be to

use the chemical formula of carbon dioxide to find the number of molecules of

CO

2

that would contain that many atoms of oxygen

use Avogadro's constant to convert the number of molecules to moles of carbon dioxide

use the molar mass of carbon dioxide to convert the moles to grams

So, you know that one molecule of carbon dioxide contains

one atom of carbon,

1

×

C

two atoms of oxygen,

2

×

O

This means that the given number of atoms of oxygen would correspond to

4.8

22

atoms O

⋅

1 molecule CO

=

2.4

Now, one mole of any molecular substance contains exactly

6.022

⋅

10

22

molecules of that substance -- this is known as Avogadro's constant.

In your case, the sample of carbon dioxide molecules contains

2.4

molecules CO

2

⋅

1 mole CO

2

6.022

⋅

23

molecules CO

=

0.03985 moles CO

2

Finally, carbon dioxide has a molar mass of

44.01 g mol

−

, which means that your sample will have a mass of

0.03985

How many protons neutrons and electrons does nitrogen 14 have?
vazorg [7]
Many nitrogen atoms have seven neutrons<span> (14-7 = 7). Some atoms of nitrogen, however, have eight electrons. They are atoms of N-15, an isotope of nitrogen. In a neutral atom, the number of protons must equal the number of electrons.</span>
