<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.

If a gas occupies 733 mL at 10.0 °C, at what temperature will it occupy 950 mL, assuming the pressure of the gas remains constan
raketka [301]
This is an example of Charles’ Law problems, the basic equation is: V1/T1 = V2/T2. One vital thing to recall for all gas law problems is that the temperature must be in Kelvin (not Celsius). 
So our given is 10.0 C = 283 K. So 
V1/T1 = V2/T2 
733/283 = 950/T2 

T2 = 367 K

How many molecules of Oxygen are consumed if 24 molecules of Carbon Dioxide are produced?
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

C + O2 → CO2

Mole of C = 24 g/(12 g/mole)

Mole of C = 2 mole

Mole of molecular O2 = 74 g/(32 g/mole)

Mole of molecular O2 = 2.3125 mole

Since mole of C < mole of O2, then C being the limiting reagent.

From the reaction, it shows that mole ratio between C and O2 = 1 : 1.

So, 2 moles of C will stoichiometrically react with 2 moles of O2 to generate 2 moles of CO2.

Avogadro's law states that :"equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules i.e. 6.02 x 10^23 molecules/mole.

Therefore, 2 moles of CO2 contain 2 moles x 6.02 x 10^23 molecules/mole = 1.204 x 10^24 molecules of CO2 is formed.
