Answer:

C. H2O diffuses in.

Explanation:

<em>The phospholipids-made synthetic vesicle in this case will act like a semi-permeable membrane while the solution in the interior lumen will be hypertonic to the surrounding pure water. </em>

<em>Hence, water molecules will diffuse into the lumen through the semi-permeable membrane because of the osmotic gradient that exist between the internal and the surrounding solution of the vesicle.</em>

Molar mass :

KClO₃ = 122.55 g/mol
O₂ = 32 g/mol

2 x 122.55 g KClO₃ ----------> 3 x 32 g O₂
10.0 g KClO₃ ------------------> ?

Mass of O₂ = ( 10.0 x 3 x 32 ) / ( 2 x 122.55 )

Mass of O₂ = 960 / 245.1

Mass of O₂ = 3.9167 g

number of moles O₂ => 3.9167 / 32 = 0.1223 moles 

1 mol -------------- 22.4 L ( at STP)
0.1223 moles ---- ?

V = 0.1223 x 22.4 / 1

V = 2.739 L

hope this helps!

olganol [36]

Answer:

126 moles

Explanation:

2S +3 o2=2so3

So if 2 moles of so3 required 3 moles of oxygen

. So 84 moles of so3 will require 84*3/2=126 moles of oxygen
