Answer: There was a lower concentration of salt in the water than in the cells.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a process in which the solvent flow from a solution of low concentration to a solution of high concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.  

When the red blood cells are put in water that contained salt and the red blood cells burst after some time.

This means the solvent has moved from outside to inside the cell and this is possible only when the concentration of solute is high inside the cell than outside. That means the solution has low concentration of solute as compared to the cell and was a hypotonic solution.

What can be said about an Endothermic reaction with a negative entropy change?The reaction isa. spontaneous at all temperatures.
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1. d. The reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction at all temperatures.

2. c. The reaction is spontaneous at low temperatures.

Explanation:

The spontaneity of a reaction is associated with the Gibbs free energy (ΔG). When ΔG < 0, the reaction is spontaneous. When ΔG > 0, the reaction is non-spontaneous. ΔG is related to the enthalpy (ΔH) and the entropy (ΔS) through the following expression:

ΔG = ΔH - T. ΔS  [1]

where,

T is the absolute temperature (T is always positive)

<em>1. What can be said about an Endothermic reaction with a negative entropy change?</em>

If the reaction is endothermic, ΔH > 0. Let's consider ΔS < 0. According to eq. [1], ΔG is always positive. The reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction at any temperature. This means that the reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction at all temperatures.

<em>2. What can be said about an Exothermic reaction with a negative entropy change?</em>

If the reaction is exothermic, ΔH < 0. Let's consider ΔS < 0. According to eq. [1], ΔG will be negative when |ΔH| > |T.ΔS|, that is, at low temperatures.
