What happens when the concentration of water inside a cell is lower than the concentration of water outside the cell?

Chemistry

Answer:

Water outside the cell will flow inwards by osmosis to attain equilibrium

Explanation:

In the hypotonic environment, the concentration of water is greater outside the cell and the concentration of solute is higher inside. A solution outside of a cell has a lower concentration of solutes relative to the cytosol.

If concentrations of dissolved solutes are greater inside the cell, the concentration of water inside the cell is correspondingly lower. As a result, water outside the cell will flow inwards by osmosis to attain equilibrium.

Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one through a semipermeable membrane.

The table below shows the number of sub-atomic particles in an atom of sodium. Sub-atomic Particles Sub-atomic Particle Number P
AlexFokin [52]

Answer is: the amu of a sodium atom is 23.

The unified atomic mass unit (amu) is a standard unit of atom mass.

One unified atomic mass unit is approximately the mass of one nucleon (proton or neutron).

The unified atomic mass unit is equal 1.66·10⁻²⁷ kg.

n(p⁺) = 11; number of protons in sodium atom.

n(n°) = 12; number of neutrons of sodium atom.

n(p⁺ + n°) = 11 + 12.

n(p⁺ + n°) = 23; number of nucleons in sodium atom.

In the reaction 2H2O (1)+ 2Cl^- (aq)= H2(g)+Cl2 (g)+ 2OH^-(aq), which substance is reduced?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:- C. H

Explanations:- Reduction is gain of electron. In other words we could say that decrease in oxidation number is reduction.

As per the rules, oxidation number of hydrogen in its compounds is +1(except metal hydrides) and the oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2.

The oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

In H_2O , the oxidation number of H is +1 and oxidation number of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in Cl^- is -1. On product side, the oxidation number of hydrogen in H_2 is zero and in OH^- the oxidation number of H is +1 and that of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in Cl_2 is 0.

From above data, Oxidation number of O is -2 on both sides so it is not reduced.

Oxidation number of Cl is changing from -1 to 0 which is oxidation.

Oxidation number of H is changing from +1 to 0 which is reduction.

So, the right choice is C.H
