A word which describes a solution which is more dilute than cytoplasm and would cause a cell to swell with water

Chemistry

Answer:

A hypertonic solution has increased solute, and a net movement of water outside causing the cell to shrink. A hypotonic solution has decreased solute concentration, and a net movement of water inside the cell, causing swelling or breakage.

Explanation: hope this helps :) sorry if it's wrong :(

Tris has a molecular weight of 121 g/mol. How many grams of Tris would you need to make 100 mL of a 100 mM solution of Tris

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

1.21 g of Tris

Explanation:

Our solution if made of a solute named Tris

Molecular weight of Tris is 121 g/mol

[Tris] = 100 mM

This is the concentration of solution:

(100 mmoles of Tris in 1 mL of solution) . 1000

Notice that mM = M . 1000 We convert from mM to M

100 mM . 1 M / 1000 mM = 0.1 M

M = molarity (moles of solute in 1 L of solution, or mmoles of solute in 1 mL of solution). Let's determine the mmoles of Tris

0.1 M = mmoles of Tris / 100 mL

mmoles of Tris = 100 mL . 0.1 M → 10 mmoles

We convert mmoles to moles → 10 mmol . 1mol / 1000mmoles = 0.010 mol

And now we determine the mass of solute, by molecular weight

0.010 mol . 121 g /mol = 1.21 g

A hiker seals a plastic bag that contains dried fruit before the climbs a mountain. What will most likely happen to the plastic

romanna [79]

From the ideal gas equation,

$PV = nRT$

where n is number of moles, R is Universal gas constant, P is pressure, V is volume, and T is temperature of the gas.

The pressure and volume are inversely proportional to each other at constant temperature and number of moles.

Hence, on decreasing the pressure, the volume will increase.

As the hiker reaches a height of a mountain, the pressure would decrease which results in the reestablishment of equilibrium between gas molecules thus resulting in pushing of bag outwards.

Hence, the bag will expand as the hiker reaches the top of the mountain.
