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>

Describe the properties of alkali metals. Based on their electronic arrangement, explain whether they exist alone in nature.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

- They are highly reactive metals

- They have low electro negativity

- They have low ionization energy

- They don't exist alone in nature

- They have low densities

Explanation:

Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.

Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.

Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.

Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.

Due to this reason, they also have low densities.

If the compound has a molar mass of 156 g/mol, what is its molecular formula?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
I believe that the choices for this question are:
C2H4O2, C4H8O4 CH2O, C6H12O6 C3H6O3, C6H12O6 C2H4O2, C6H12O6 
 
The answer to this based on the molar masses given is:
C2H4O2, C6H12O6 
 
To prove calculate the molar mass:
C2H4O2 = 2*12 + 4*1 + 2*16 = 60
C6H12O6 = 6*12 + 12*1 + 6*16 = 180

What happens when energy is removed from liquid water
mariarad [96]

Answer:

When energy is removed in liquid water then it will solidify since heat is given off by the system to its surrounding. It is an exothermic process where the enthalpy decreases since heat is taken off. So liquid water becomes ice in an exothermic process.
