The correct answer is B. The tendency of molecules to move toward areas of lower concentration is called diffusion. This happens when there is a concentration gradient. This is described by the Fick's laws of diffusion. Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from a higher concentration to lower concentration to achieve equilibrium.

How many H2O molecules are in 183.2 grams of H20 gas?

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: There are $61.24 \times 10^{23}$ molecules present in 183.2 grams of $H_{2}O$ gas.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 183.2 g

Number of moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass.

As molar mass of water is 18 g/mol. Therefore, moles of $H_{2}O$ are calculated as follows.

$Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{183.2 g}{18 g/mol}\\= 10.17 mol$

According to the mole concept, there are $6.022 \times 10^{22}$ molecules present in one mole of a substance.

Hence, molecules present in 10.17 moles are calculated as follows.

$10.17 mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\= 61.24 \times 10^{23}$

Thus, we can conclude that there are $61.24 \times 10^{23}$ molecules present in 183.2 grams of $H_{2}O$ gas.

Some friends are trying to make wine in their basement. They've added yeast to a sweet grape juice mixture and have allowed the

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The yeast respired aerobically

Explanation:

The expectation here was that the yeast was going to put the sugar in the grape juice through fermentation, which is an anaerobic process that results in alcohol as one of the products. However since no alcohol was found in this particular example, it is fair to assume that maybe there was oxygen in teh muxture and therefore the yeast respired aerobically, producing water and carbon dioxide as products.

Write the Iconic Bond to Metals

Nutka1998 [239]

<u>Answer:</u> The ionic compound formed is magnesium chloride having formula $MgCl_2$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Magnesium is the 12th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

This element will loose 2 electrons to form $Mg^{2+}$ ion

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

This element will gain 1 electron to form $Cl^{-}$ ion

So, for every 1 atom of magnesium, 2 atoms of chlorine are required. Thus, the chemical formula becomes $MgCl_2$

Hence, the ionic compound formed is magnesium chloride having formula $MgCl_2$
