An artificial vesicle containing a 1 M glucose solution is composed of a phospholipid bilayer lacking any protein components oth

er than aquaporin channels. Assuming an ideal solution, what is the ratio of the osmotic pressure measured immediately after immersion of the vesicle in de-ionized water to the osmotic pressure measured immediately after immersion of an identical vesicle containing the original volume of 1 M glucose solution added to an equal volume of 1 M KCl solution in deionized water

Answer:

A: 0.67

The situation described in the question is analogous to a semipermeable membrane. Water is able to pass through aquaporin channels present in the liposome, but large uncharged particles (glucose) and ions (K+ and Cl -) are impermeable and will remain trapped within the liposome. If assumed to be ideal, the osmotic pressure, π, exerted by the solution due to molarity differences across the membrane is defined as π = iMRT, where i is the van't Hoff factor, M is the molarity of the solution, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature of the solution. A change in osmotic pressure at constant temperature is due to changes in iM, a term that is equivalent to the concentration of dissolved particles produced by solute in solution. When compared to the original volume of 1 M glucose, the new combined solution has twice the volume and three times the number of dissolved particles (1 M KCl, a strongly electrolytic solution, produces 1 M concentrations of both K+ and Cl- in solution), or an increase in the concentration of dissolved particles by a factor of 1.5. This is equivalent to a combined molarity of dissolved particles of 1.5 M. The ratio of osmotic pressure is then [1 M dissolved glucose] / [1.5 M dissolved glucose + KCl] = 0.67

Sulfuric acid dissolves aluminum metal according to the following reaction:
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

m_{H_2SO_4}=81.7gH_2SO_4

m_{H_2}=1.67gH_2

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on the given undergoing chemical reaction is is rewritten below:

2Al (s) + 3H_2SO_4 (aq)\rightarrow  Al _2(SO4)_3 (aq) + 3H_2 (g)

By stoichiometry we find the minimum mass of H2SO4 (in g) as shown below:

m_{H_2SO_4}=15.0gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl}*\frac{3molH_2SO_4}{2molAl}*\frac{98gH_2SO_4}{1molH_2SO_4} \\m_{H_2SO_4}=81.7gH_2SO_4

Moreover, mass of H2 gas (in g) would be produced by the complete reaction of the aluminum block turns out:

m_{H_2}=15.0gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl}*\frac{3molH_2}{2molAl}*\frac{2gH_2}{1molH_2} \\m_{H_2}=1.67gH_2

Best regards.

The total number of atoms in the formula aluminum acetate is
REY [17]

Answer:

B) 22 atoms

Explanation:

Aluminum Acetate has a formula of C6H9AlO6, meaning that it has 6 Carbon atoms, 9 Hydrogen atoms, 1 Aluminum atom, and 6 Oxygen atoms.

In total there are: 6+9+1+6 atoms, or a total of 22 atoms.

Hope this helps!
