Answer:

Shrink due to water loss

Explanation:

A hypertonic solution has more osmolarity than the cell. This causes the water inside the cell to go out since the osmolarities tend to equalize. And the cell does not allow the passage of other substances except water. Therefore the water will come out and the cell will shrink.

In a hypotonic solution, the water will enter into the cell and in an isotonic solution the water will be moving into and out of the cell at the same rate.

How much 3M NaOH (MW=40) can be made from 10.0mL of a 10M solution?

vaieri [72.5K]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$M_{1}$ = 3 M, $V_{1}$ = ?

$M_{2}$ = 10 M, $V_{2}$ = 10.0 ml

Therefore, calculate the volume of given solution as follows.

$M_{1} \times V_{1}$ = $M_{2} \times V_{2}$

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$M_{1} \times V_{1}$ = $M_{2} \times V_{2}$

$3 M \times V_{1}$ = $10 M \times 10.0 ml$

$V_{1}$ = 33.3 ml

or, = 0.033 L (as 1 ml = 0.001 L)

Since, molarity of NaOH is given as 3 M and its volume is calculated as 33.3 ml.

Molarity = $\frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}} \times \frac{1}{\text{volume in L}}$

3 M = $\frac{mass}{40 g/mol \times 0.033 L}$

mass = 3.96 g

Therefore, we can conclude that mass of NaOH is 3.96 g.

What refers to the role of a species in it's ecosystem and often relates to what it eats or what consumes it?

mezya [45]

Answer:

ANSWER : NICHE

Explanation:

The particular role of a species or organism in its comprising ecosystem is termed as niche. Niche refers to every way that a specie interacts with its environment included both the biotic components as well as the abiotic components. Niche describes how well an organism is adapted for a particular environment. It tells us how well a species is for competing for food and other resources in that environment and how it is better for that environment.
