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.

<h2>CH_3CH_2OH  →  CH_3CHO </h2>

Explanation:

Ethanol can be oxidized to ethanal or acetaldehyde which is further oxidized to acid that is acetic acid.

CH_3CH_2OH→  CH_3CHO [oxidation by loss of hydrogen]

  • An oxidizing agent potassium dichromate(VI) solution is used to remove the hydrogen from the ethanol.  
  • An oxidizing agent used along with dilute sulphuric acid for acidification.

Acetaldehyde can also be reduced back to ethanol again by adding hydrogen to it by using a reducing agent that is sodium tetrahydro borate, NaBH4.

  • The oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids can be done by the two-step process.  
  • In the first step, one molecule of water is added in the presence of a catalyst that is acidic.
  • There is a generation of a hydrate. (geminal 1,1-diol).

     CH_3CHO  →  CH_3CH_2COOH [reduction by the gain of electrons]

Here, the oxidizing agent used isCr_3O in the presence of acetone.

In-s [12.5K]
The term that best described a 10 gram of KClO3 per 100 grams of water solution at 30 degree Celcius is Saturated. The solubility chart is needed for this work. If the solubility chart is drawn for KClO3, it will be observed that the proportion of KClO3 that is needed to dissolve in 100ml of water to make the solution saturated is 10 grams at 30 degree Celcius.

The nature particle model of matter describe the property of solid, liquid and gas in molecular level. Which of the given statem
dangina [55]

Answer:

B. Particles of matter have spaces between them.

Explanation:

The particle nature model of matter is an model used to explain the properties and nature of matter. The statements of the particle nature model of matter are as follows :

1. Matter is made of small particles of atoms or molecules.

2. The particles of matter have space between them. The spaces between the particles are least in solids as they are closely packed together but are greatest in gases whose particles are far apart from each other.

3. The particles of matter are in constant motion at all times. Solids particles are not free to move due to strong molecular forces between the particles, but are constantly vibrating in their mean positions. Liquid particles free to move due to lesser molecular forces while gas molecules which have negligible intermolecular forces have the greatest ability to move.

4. The particles of matter are attracted to each other by intermolecular forces. These forces are greatest in solids and least in gases.

The correct option is B.
