Answer:

A solution contains 100mM NaCl, 20mM CaCl2, and 20mM urea. We would say this solution is hypotonic compared to a 300 mOsM solution and hypotonic compared to a cell with 300 mOsM (non-penetrating solutes) interior.

Explanation:

The osmolarity is calculated from the molar concentration of the active particles in the solution. We have a solution that is composed of NaCl, CaCl₂ and urea.

When they are dissolved in water, they dissociate into particles as follows:

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻  (2 particles per compound)

CaCl₂ → Ca²⁺ + 2 Cl⁻ (3 particles per compound)

urea: not dissociation (1 particle per compound)

Then, we have to calculate the osmolarity of the solution. We multiply the molarity of each compound by the number of particles produced by the compound in water:

Osm = (100 mM NaCl x 2) + (20 mM CaCl₂ x 3) + (20 mM urea x 1) = 280 mOsm

Compared with 300 mOsm, 280 mOsm has a lower osmolarity, so it is a hypotonic solution.

To compare with a cell's osmolarity, we have to consider only the non-penetrating solutes. Urea is considered a penetrating solute for mammalian cells. So, the osmolarity of non-penetrating solutes (NaCl  and CaCl₂) is calculated as:

Osm (non-penetrating solutes) = (100 mM NaCl x 2) + (20 mM CaCl₂ x 3) = 260 mOsm

Therefore, we have:

Compared to 300 mOsm solution ⇒ 280 mOsm solution is a hypotonic solution

Compared to a cell with 300 mOsm ⇒ 260 mOsm solution is hypotonic

Calculate the average atomic mass of a
Vesna [10]

Answer: 207.217 amu

Work:

203.973 amu *(0.014) = 2.855 amu

205.974 amu *(0.241) = 49.639 amu

206.976 amu *(0.221) = 45.741 amu

207.977 amu *(0.524) = 108.979 amu

2.855 + 49.639 + 45.741 + 108.979 = <em><u>207.217amu</u></em>

What is the maximum number of moles of Al2O3 that can be produced by the reaction of .4 mol of Al with .4 mol of O2
Darya [45]

<u>Given:</u>

Moles of Al = 0.4

Moles of O2 = 0.4

<u>To determine:</u>

Moles of Al2O3 produced

<u>Explanation:</u>

4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

4 moles of Al produces 2 moles of Al2O3

Therefore, 0.4 moles of Al will produce:

0.4 moles Al * 2 moles Al2O3/4 moles Al = 0.2 moles Al2O3

Similarly;

3 moles O2 produces 2 moles Al2O3

0.4 moles of O2 will yield: 0.4 *2/3 = 0.267 moles

Thus Al will be the limiting reactant.

Ans: Maximum moles of Al2O3 = 0.2 moles
