Compare and contrast diffusion and osmosis. Include at least one similarity and one difference between the two processes.

1 answer:

4 0

Osmosis is the diffusion of water <span>across a semipermeable membrane (usually cell membrane) from a region of low solute concentration to a more concentrated solution so it can reach equilibrium (balance).

D</span>iffusion is <span>a spontaneous movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Both results in particles moving and help balance out the concentrations.
Also, in osmosis, the water molecules are moving. In diffusion, it is the solutes moving.

I hope this helps and explains well.</span>

At almost the opposite point on the Earth's surface, the "P" waves reappear. The shadow zone exists because the waves are refracted as they pass through the boundary between the mantle and the core and are diverted from their original paths.

Hydroxyl radicals react with and eliminate many atmospheric pollutants. However, the hydroxyl radical does not clean up everythi

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

ΔHreaction = 263.15 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The reaction is as follow:

OH + CF₂Cl₂ → HOF + CFCl₂

You need to calculate the enthalpy of reaction and for this it is necessary to know the standard enthalpies for each of the compounds. These enthalpies are as follows and can be found in your textbook or on the Internet.

ΔHreaction = ∑ΔHproducts - ∑ΔHreactants

$delta(H)_{reaction} =((1*(-97.8)+(1*(-92))-((1*39)+(1*(-491.15))=263.15kJ/mol$

4HCl(g)+O2(g)⟶2Cl2(g)+2H2O(g) Calculate the number of grams of Cl2 formed when 0.385 mol HCl reacts with an excess of O2. mass:

FromTheMoon [43]

The number of grams of Cl2 formed when 0.385 mol HCl reacts with an excess of O2 is 13.6675 g.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × $10^{23}$ of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

Given data:

Moles of hydrochloric acid = 0.385 mol

Mass of chlorine gas =?

Chemical equation:

4HCl + O₂ → 2Cl₂ + 2H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of Cl₂ with HCl.

HCl : Cl₂

4 : 2

0.385 : 2÷4× 0.385 = 0.1925 mol

Oxygen is present in excess that's why the mass of chlorine produced depends upon the available amount of HCl.

Mass of Cl₂ :

Mass of Cl₂ = moles × molar mass

Mass of Cl₂ =0.1925 mol × 71 g/mol

Mass of Cl₂ = 13.6675 g

Hence, the number of grams of Cl2 formed when 0.385 mol HCl reacts with an excess of O2 is 13.6675 g.

A chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of sodium hydroxide. The concentration o

taurus [48]

Answer:

The concentration the student should write down in her lab is 2.2 mol/L

Explanation:

Atomic mass of the elements are:

Na: 22.989 u

S: 32.065 u

O: 15.999 u

Molar mass of sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3 = (2*22.989 + 2*32.065 + 3*15.999) g/mol = 158.105 g/mol.

Mass of Na2S2O3 taken = (19.440 - 2.2) g = 17.240 g.

For mole(s) of Na2S2O3 = (mass taken)/(molar mass)

= (17.240 g)/(158.105 g/mol) = 0.1090 mole.

Volume of the solution = 50.29 mL = (50.29 mL)*(1 L)/(1000 mL)

= 0.05029 L.

To find the molar concentration of the sodium thiosulfate solution prepared we use the formula:

= (moles of sodium thiosulfate)/(volume of solution in L)

= (0.1090 mole)/(0.05029 L)

= 2.1674 mol/L
