Answer:

Water can move across membranes, but polar solutes dissolved in water cannot. The net movement of water (osmosis) is in the direction of increased solute concentrations. ... A hypotonic solution has decreased solute concentration, and a net movement of water inside the cell, causing swelling or breakage.

Sketch two amino acids side-by-side, on one of them label the functional groups, then show how the two can be joined together.

Alinara [238K]

Answer : The sketch of two amino acids side by side are shown below.

Explanation :

Amino acid : Amino acid are the acid that contains two functional groups which are carboxylic group, $-COOH$ and ammine group, $-NH_2$ .

When the two or more that two amino acids join together with the help of peptide bond, they produces polypeptide chain or protein.

The bond present between the two amino acid is called a peptide bond.

The peptide bond is a chemical bond that is formed between the two molecules when the nitrogen of one amino acid react with the carbon of another amino acid by releasing a water molecule.

Hence, the sketch of two amino acids side by side are shown below.

In an acid-base titration, a student uses 21.35 mL of 0.150 M NaOH to neutralize 25.00 mL of H2SO4. How many moles of acid are i

GalinKa [24]

Answer: There are 0.006 moles of acid in the flask.

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 21.35 mL, $M_{1}$ = 0.150 M

$V_{2}$ = 25.0 mL, $M_{2}$ = ?

Formula used to calculate molarity of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ is as follows.

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

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\\0.15 M \times 21.35 mL = M_{2} \times 25.0 mL\\M_{2} = 0.1281 M$

As molarity is the number of moles of a substance present in a liter of solution.

Total volume of solution = $V_{1} + V_{2}$

= 21.35 mL + 25.0 mL

= 46.36 mL (1 mL = 0.001 L)

= 0.04636 L

Therefore, moles of acid required are calculated as follows.

$Molarity = \frac{no. of moles}{Volume (in L)}\\0.1281 M = \frac{no. of moles}{0.04635 L}\\no. of moles = 0.006 mol$

Thus, we can conclude that there are 0.006 moles of acid in the flask.

What occurs when energy is removed from a liquid-vapor system in equilibrium

yulyashka [42]

<span>The answer is that the number of water molecules increases and that of vapor decreases. When energy is removed from the system it would do so mostly as heat. Therefore the energy in the system would decrease and the molecules would vibrate at lower energies. Therefore, several water vapor molecules would turn back to water. </span>
