Answer:

osmosis is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The process by which water diffuses from a region of greater concentration to a region of lesser concentration is called osmosis.

Osmosis is a process in which solvent moves through a selective semipermeable membrane into a more concentrated region.

There are three types of Osmotic solutions

isotonic solution where the osmotic pressure is the same across the membrane.

hypotonic solution where the osmotic pressure is lower compared to another solution.

hypertonic solution where the solute concentration is higher as compared to the other solution

How will you relate yourself to stellar evolution?

adoni [48]

Answer:

<em>Stellar evolution is the process by which a star changes over the course of time. Depending on the mass of the star, its lifetime can range from a few million years for the most massive to trillions of years for the least massive, which is considerably longer than the age of the universe. The table shows the lifetimes of stars as a function of their masses.[1] All stars are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust, often called nebulae or molecular clouds. Over the course of millions of years, these protostars settle down into a state of equilibrium, becoming what is known as a main-seque</em>

An ideal gas, initially at a pressure of 11.2 atm and a temperature of 299 K, is allowed to expand adiabatically until its volum

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The pressure is $P_2 = 4.25 \ a.t.m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial pressure is $P_1 = 11.2\ a.t.m$

The temperature is $T_1 = 299 \ K$

Let the first volume be $V_1$ Then the final volume will be $2 V_1$

Generally for a diatomic gas

$P_1 V_1 ^r = P_2 V_2 ^r$

Here r is the radius of the molecules which is mathematically represented as

$r = \frac{C_p}{C_v}$

Where $C_p \ and\ C_v$ are the molar specific heat of a gas at constant pressure and the molar specific heat of a gas at constant volume with values

$C_p=7 \ and\ C_v=5$

=> $r = \frac{7}{5}$

=> $11.2*( V_1 ^{\frac{7}{5} } ) = P_2 * (2 V_1 ^{\frac{7}{5} } )$

=> $P_2 = [\frac{1}{2} ]^{\frac{7}{5} } * 11.2$

=> $P_2 = 4.25 \ a.t.m$

A sphere has surface area 1.25 m2, emissivity 1.0, and temperature 100.0°C. What is the rate at which it radiates heat into empt

Yuri [45]

The total power emitted by an object via radiation is:
$P=A\epsilon \sigma T^4$
where:
A is the surface of the object (in our problem, $A=1.25 m^2$
$\epsilon$ is the emissivity of the object (in our problem, $\epsilon=1$ )
$\sigma = 5.67 \cdot 10^{-8} W/(m^2 K^4)$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant
T is the absolute temperature of the object, which in our case is $T=100^{\circ} C=373 K$

Substituting these values, we find the power emitted by radiation:
$P=(1.25 m^2)(1.0)(5.67 \cdot 10^{-8}W/(m^2K^4)})(373 K)^4=1371 W = 1.4 kW$
So, the correct answer is D.
