Answer: option C.Water will move into the cell

Explanation:

1) Start by analyzing what the statement means in terms of relative concentrations:

------------------------ | inside the cell ------------ | outside the cell |

sugar --------------- | higher ----------------------- | lower ------------- |

water -------------- | lower ------------------------- | higher ------------ |

2) Osmosis is the process where a barrier (the celll membrane) permits the pass of some component and not others.

The component that can pass is that whose particles are smaller. Sugar molecules (the solute) are bigger than water molecules (the solvent), so sugar molecules cannot pass the cell membrane. Only water can.

3) The driviing force for the motion of water molecules is called diffusion. The diffusion occurs from higher concentrations to lower concentrations.

Hence, the water molecules will from outside the outiside the cell, where they have the greater concentration, toward the inside of the cell, where water hasa the lower concentration.

As result, the water will move into the cell, which is the option C.

(3) A 10.00-mL sample of 0.1000 M KH2PO4 was titrated with 0.1000 M HCl Ka for phosphoric acid (H3PO4): Ka1= 7.50x10-3; Ka2=6.20
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The pH of this solution is 1,350

Explanation:

The phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) has three acid dissociation constants:

HPO₄²⁻ ⇄ PO4³⁻ + H⁺        Kₐ₃ = 4,20x10⁻¹⁰  (1)

H₂PO₄⁻ ⇄ HPO4²⁻ + H⁺    Kₐ₂ = 6,20x10⁻⁸   (2)

H₃PO₄ ⇄ H₂PO4⁻ + H⁺       Kₐ₁ = 7,50x10⁻³   (3)

The problem says that you have 10,00 mL of KH₂PO₄ (It means H₂PO₄⁻) 0,1000 M and you add 10,00 mL of HCl (Source of H⁺) 0,1000 M. So you can see that we have the reactives of the equation (3).

We need to know what is the concentration of H⁺ for calculate the pH.

The moles of H₂PO₄⁻ are:

10,00 mL × ( 1x10⁻⁴ mol / mL) = 1x10⁻³ mol

The moles of H⁺ are, in the same way:

10,00 mL × ( 1x10⁻⁴ mol / mL) = 1x10⁻³ mol

So:

H₃PO₄   ⇄      H₂PO4⁻         +        H⁺           Kₐ₁ = 7,50x10⁻³   (3)

X mol     ⇄  (1x10⁻³-X) mol  + (1x10⁻³-X) mol                            (4)

The chemical equilibrium equation is:

Kₐ₁ = ([H₂PO4⁻] × [H⁺] / [H₃PO₄]

So:

7,50x10⁻³ = (1x10⁻³-X)² / X

Solving the equation you will obtain:

X² - 9,5x10⁻³ X + 1x10⁻⁶ = 0

Solving the quadratic formula you obtain two roots:

X = 9,393x10⁻³ ⇒ This one has no chemical logic because solving (4) you will obtain negative H₂PO4⁻ and H⁺ moles

X = 1,065x10⁻⁴

So the moles of H⁺ are : 1x10⁻³- 1,065x10⁻⁴ : 8,935x10⁻⁴ mol

The reaction volume are 20,00 mL (10,00 from both KH₂PO₄ and HCL)

Thus, the molarity of H⁺ ([H⁺]) is: 8,935x10⁻⁴ mol / 0,02000 L = 4,468x10⁻² M

pH is -log [H⁺]. So the obtained pH is 1,350

I hope it helps!

How many moles of sodium carbonate are contained by 57.3g of sodium carbonate
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.541 \  mol \ Na_2CO_3}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many moles of sodium carbonate are in 57.3 grams of the substance.

Carbonate is CO₃ and has an oxidation number of -2. Sodium is Na and has an oxidation number of +1. There must be 2 moles of sodium so the charge of the sodium balances the charge of the carbonate. The formula is Na₂CO₃.

We will convert grams to moles using the molar mass or the mass of 1 mole of a substance. They are found on the Periodic Table as the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units. Look up the molar masses of the individual elements.

  • Na:  22.9897693 g/mol
  • C: 12.011 g/mol
  • O: 15.999 g/mol

Remember the formula contains subscripts. There are multiple moles of some elements in 1 mole of the compound. We multiply the element's molar mass by the subscript after it, then add everything together.

  • Na₂ = 22.9897693 * 2= 45.9795386 g/mol
  • O₃ = 15.999 * 3= 47.997 g/mol
  • Na₂CO₃= 45.9795386 + 12.011 + 47.997 =105.9875386 g/mol

We will convert using dimensional analysis. Set up a ratio using the molar mass.

\frac {105.9875386  \ g \ Na_2CO_3}{1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}

We are converting 57.3 grams to moles, so we multiply by this value.

57.3 \ g \ Na_2CO_3} *\frac {105.9875386  \ g \ Na_2CO_3}{1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}

Flip the ratio so the units of grams of sodium carbonate cancel.

57.3 \ g \ Na_2CO_3} *\frac {1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}{105.9875386  \ g \ Na_2CO_3}

57.3 } *\frac {1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}{105.9875386 }

\frac {57.3 }{105.9875386 } \ mol \ Na_2CO_3

0.5406295944 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3

The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found that is the thousandth place. The 6 in the ten-thousandth place to the right tells us to round the 0 up to a 1.

0.541 \  mol \ Na_2CO_3

There are approximately <u>0.541 moles of sodium carbonate</u> in 57.3 grams.
