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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Softa [21]3 years ago
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>

Distinguish between a solution in general and an aqueous solution
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

  • What distinguish a solution in general from an aqueous solution is the solvent. A solution in general may contain any solvent, which may be solid, liquid or gas, while an aqueous solution is formed with water as solvent.

Explanation:

A solution in general is a homogeneous mixture in which a substance, named solute, is dissolved, in other substance, name solvent.

Solutions may be in solid, liquid or gas state. There are many kind of solvents. Usually, in a lab you work with liquid solutions. Some liquid solvents are: ethanol, glycerin, hexane, benzene, and water, among many others.

Aqueous solution is a solution where the solvent is water. Of course, the solute may be any one: NaCl, sugar, ethanol, an acid, a base, a salt.

What distinguish a solution in general and an aqueous solution is the solvent.

Complete the following table for the three key subatomic particles.
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete without the table

Explanation:

The missing table is attached to this answer.

There are three subatomic particles found in an atom; protons, neutrons and electrons. The properties of the subatomic particles will be classified under the following subheadings (which are the empty columns/boxes in the attachment)

SYMBOL

The symbol of proton is "p⁺", the symbol of neutron is "n⁰" and the symbol of electron is "e⁻".

CHARGE

Looking at the symbol of the subatomic particles, one can guess the charge of each of the particles from the superscript.

Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged while neutrons have no charge/electrically neutral.

The relative charge of proton is +1 while it's absolute charge is +1.60218 × 10⁻¹⁹

The charge of a proton was first determined by Ernest Rutherford using the gold-foil experiment

The relative charge of electron is -1 while it's absolute charge is -1.60218 × 10⁻¹⁹

The charge of an electron was first determined by R. Milikan using the oil-drop experiment

The relative charge and absolute charge of neutron is 0

The charge of a neutron was first determined by (or credited to) James Chadwick.

MASS

The relative mass (amu) of proton is 1.00727 while that of neutron is 1.00866. The relative mass (amu) of an electron is 0.00054858 while it's absolute mass (g) is 9.10939 × 10⁻²⁴.

The mass of an electron was first measured by J. J. Thomson.

The mass of a proton was first measured by (or credited to) Ernest Rutherford.

The mass of a neutron was first measured by James Chadwick.

LOCATION

The protons and neutrons <u>are located inside the nucleus</u> which is found in the centre of an atom while the electron(s)<u> is/are found outside the nucleus but within the atom</u>.

HURRRYYY <br> in a chemical reaction you will always have an excess reactant. true or false?
just olya [345]

Answer:

It's False

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, reactants that are not used up when the reaction is finished are called excess reagents. The reagent that is completely used up or reacted is called the limiting reagent, because its quantity limits the amount of products formed.

Hope this helps you
