Which statement describes the energy involved in diffusion? Diffusion requires energy in all cases. Diffusion requires energy on

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Both b and d can be correct

Explanation:

Generally, diffusion does not require energy (making option a wrong) because it is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration hence diffusion moves particles in the direction of a concentration gradient. An example of this is the passive transport (for instance, uptake of glucose by a liver cell).

However, in some cases, when diffusion is against the concentration gradient (i.e when particles move from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration), diffusion will require energy in a case like this (making option c wrong). An example of this is active transport (transport of protein called sodium-potassium pump which involves pumping of potassium into the cell and sodium out of the cell).

The explanation above shows that diffusion can require energy to move particles (in or out) of the cell through the cell membrane.

What volume (in liters) of a solution contains 0.14 mol of KCl?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.078 \ L }}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the volume of a solution given the moles of solute and molarity.

Molarity is a measure of concentration in moles per liter. It is calculated using the following formula:

$molarity= \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{liters \ of \ solution}$

We know there are 0.14 moles of potassium chloride (KCl), which is the solute. The molarity of the solution is 1.8 molar or 1.8 moles of potassium chloride per liter.

moles of solute = 0.14 mol KCl
molarity= 1.8 mol KCl/ L
liters of solution=x

Substitute these values/variables into the formula.

$1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L = \frac { 0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{x}$

We are solving for x, so we must isolate the variable. First, cross multiply. Multiply the first numerator and second denominator, then the first denominator and second numerator.

$\frac {1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L}{1} = \frac{0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{x}$

$1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L *x = 1*0.14 \ mol \ KCl$

$1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L *x = 0.14 \ mol \ KCl$

Now x is being multiplied by 1.8 moles of potassium chloride per liter. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by 1.8 mol KCl/L.

$\frac {1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L *x}{1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L} = \frac{0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L}$

$x= \frac{0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L}$

The units of moles of potassium chloride cancel.

$x= \frac{0.14 }{1.8 L}$

$x=0.07777777778 \ L$

The original measurements of moles and molarity have 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the thousandth place. The 7 in the ten-thousandth place tells us to round the 7 up to a 8.

$x \approx 0.078 \ L$

There are approximately 0.078 liters of solution.
