<h3>Types of Osmosis</h3>

Osmosis is of two types:

Endosmosis– When a substance is placed in a hypotonic solution, the solvent molecules move inside the cell and the cell becomes turgid or undergoes deplasmolysis. This is known as endosmosis.

Exosmosis– When a substance is placed in a hypertonic solution, the solvent molecules move outside the cell and the cell becomes flaccid or undergoes plasmolysis. This is known as exosmosis.

There are some variations or types of osmosis on the basis of the direction of the movement of solvent molecules.

  • Reverse osmosis is a method of separation that is used to force a solvent through a semi-permeable membrane resulting in solute molecules on one side and solvent molecules on the other side.

  • Reverse osmosis is different than the forward osmosis in that reverse osmosis utilized hydraulic pressure to force the solvent against the osmotic pressure.

  • Forward osmosis is another variation of osmosis where the osmotic pressure gradient is used to induce the flow of water from the sample solution to separate the solutes.

  • Forward osmosis uses a draw solution with a higher concentration of solute, which extracts the solvent molecules from the sample solution; thus, resulting in the separation of solute and solvent in the sample solution.

  • Endosmosis is the movement of water into the cell which occurs when a cell is placed in a solution having a higher concentration of water than the cell.

  • Exosmosis is the movement of water out of the cell which occurs when a cell is placed in a solution having a higher concentration of solute than the cell.

. an ionic compound is composed of 34.95 g of iron and 15.05 g of oxygen. find the empirical formula of this compound.
Contact [7]

Empirical formula of ionic compound is FeO. In which the composition of atoms is 1 : 1.

Empirical formula of an ionic compound is defined as the formula which gives whole number ratio of atoms of various elements present in molecule of compund.

mass of iron in compound = 34.95 g

molar mass of iron = 55.8 g

mass of oxygen in compound = 15.05 g

molar mass of oxygen = 32 g

number of moles of iron present in the compound are ratio of mass of iron in compound/ molar mass of iron

number of moles of iron in compound= 34.95 / 55.8 = 0.6263 ~ 1

number of moles oxygen in compound= 15.05/ 32 = 0.473 ~ 0.5

the ratio of the number of oxygen atoms to number of iron atoms present in one formula unit of iron compund is 2×0.5 / 1 = 1 : 1

Hence , the required empirical formula of iron compound is FeO.

How many molecules are present in 265 moles of CCl
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Option C. 1.60x10^26 molecules

Explanation:

Avogadro's hypothesis proved that that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

From the above, we understood that 1 mole of CCl4 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

If 1 mole of CCl4 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules,

then, 265 moles of CCl4 will contain = 265 x 6.02x10^23 = 1.60x10^26 molecules

From the calculation made above, 265 moles of CCl4 contains 1.60x10^26 molecules.

What would happen to the sup- ply of ATP in your cells if you did not eat enough carbohydrates? How would this affect your cells
harina [27]

Answer:

ATP supply will reduced or decrease drastically

Explanation:

ATP will reduced because carbohydrates are energy given food. Chemical energy are in carbohydrates, therefore when the undergo digestion i.e breakdown of larger pieces into smaller pieces, it is broken down into glucose i.e energy is released. Therefore, if there is now carbohydrates, ATP supply will reduced and there won't be energy needed for different cellular metabolic activities. The breakdown of carbohydrate supply energy.
