Osmosis is the diffusion of water. Diffusion is when cells move to an area of lower concentration through a semi permeable membrane. Osmosis only affects water. It affects water by letting water constantly move from one side of the membrane to the other. When both sides have an equal concentration, the water molecules water still moves around but equilibrium has been reached.

This requires you to use all the things we have learned in this chapter. 1.55 grams of Carbon disulfide
Alja [10]

Answer: The percent yield is, 42%

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of carbon disulphide}=\frac{1.55g}{76g/mol}=0.020moles

\text{Moles of oxygen}=\frac{2.83g}{32g/mol}=0.088moles

The balanced chemical reaction is:

CS_2+3O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2+2SO_2

According to stoichiometry :

1 moles of CS_2 require = 3 moles of O_2

Thus 0.020 moles of CS_2 will require=\frac{3}{1}\times 0.020=0.060moles  of O_2

Thus CS_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and O_2 is the excess reagent.

As 1 mole of CS_2 give = 2 moles of SO_2

Thus 0.020 moles of CS_2 give =\frac{2}{1}\times 0.020=0.040moles  of SO_2

Theoretical mass of SO_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.040moles\times 64g/mol=2.56g

Actual mass of SO_2 = 1.1 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield }}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100=\frac{1.1g}{2.56g}\times 100=42\%

Therefore, the percent yield is, 42%

How would the H-zone in a contracted sarcomere differ from that of a relaxed sarcomere?
sleet_krkn [62]

H-zone in a contracted sarcomere differ from that of a relaxed sarcomere . Yes its true because H-zone is narrower in contracted sarcomere. The functional unit of striated muscle is sarcomere. Sarcomere is the very basic unit of skelatal muscle. Between two Z line sarcomere is the repeated unit .Hence we can say that H-zone in a contracted sarcomere differ from that of a relaxed sarcomere.

Energy efficiency is based on the laws of thermodynamics; therefore, a loss of energy always occurs when one form is transformed
Elis [28]
True since some of the input energy is turned into heat energy, which is then lost in the environment. This is why input work is never equal to output work, unless the problem is set in a 'perfect world'.

If an ecosystem's balance is disturbed by a volcanic eruption, what will most likely occur?
Travka [436]

Answer:

This is a poorly formatted question. B.

Explanation:

First of all, B is absolutely correct, but may not be within this context. I would answer B, but be ready to fight your teacher about it.

Which statement is true of crossing over?
Arada [10]

Answer:

B. It allows for genetic variation.

Explanation:

As prophase progresses, homologous chromosomes come to lie side by side and become intertwined rather like a zipper. This process is called synapsis. During synapsis, homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material between one another which allows for genetic variation. This exchange is called crossing over.
