Air pressure is measured with a barometer.
<u>Answer:</u> C) be hypertonic to Tank B.
<u>Explanation: </u>
<u>
The ability of an extracellular solution to move water in or out of a cell by osmosis</u> is known as its tonicity. Additionally, the tonicity of a solution is related to its osmolarity, which is the <u>total concentration of all the solutes in the solution.
</u>
Three terms (hypothonic, isotonic and hypertonic) are used <u>to compare the osmolarity of a solution with respect to the osmolarity of the liquid that is found after the membrane</u>. When we use these terms, we only take into account solutes that can not cross the membrane, which in this case are minerals.
- If the liquid in tank A has a lower osmolarity (<u>lower concentration of solute</u>) than the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be hypotonic with respect to the latter.
- If the liquid in tank A has a greater osmolarity (<u>higher concentration of solute</u>) than the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be hypertonic with respect to the latter.
- If the liquid in tank A has the same osmolarity (<u>equal concentration of solute</u>) as the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be isotonic with respect to the latter.
In the case of the problem, option A is impossible because the minerals can not cross the membrane, since it is permeable to water only. There is no way that the concentration of minerals decreases in tank A, so <u>the solution in this tank can not be hypotonic with respect to the one in Tank B. </u>
Equally, both solutions can not be isotonic and neither we can say that the solution in tank A has more minerals that the one in tank B because the liquid present in tank B is purified water that should not have minerals. Therefore, <u>options B and D are also not correct.</u>
Finally, the correct option is C, since in the purification procedure the water is extracted from the solution in tank A to obtain a greater quantity of purified water in tank B. In this way, the solution in Tank A would be hypertonic to Tank B.
Answer:
Total pressure = 4.57 atm
Explanation:
Given data:
Partial pressure of nitrogen = 1.3 atm
Partial pressure of oxygen = 1824 mmHg
Partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 247 torr
Partial pressure of argon = 0.015 atm
Partial pressure of water vapor = 53.69 kpa
Total pressure = ?
Solution:
First of all we convert the units other into atm.
Partial pressure of oxygen = 1824 mmHg / 760 = 2.4 atm
Partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 247 torr / 760 = 0.325 atm
Partial pressure of water vapor = 53.69 kpa / 101 = 0.53 atm
Total pressure = Partial pressure of N + Partial pressure of O + Partial pressure of CO₂ + Partial pressure of Ar + Partial pressure of water vapor
Total pressure = 1.3 atm + 2.4 atm + 0.325 atm + 0.015 atm + 0.53 atm
Total pressure = 4.57 atm
Answer:
66.2 % of O
Explanation:
Our compound is the lithium nitrite.
LiNO₂
This salt is ionic and can be dissociated: LiNO₂ → Li⁺ + NO₂⁻
We determine the molar mass:
molar mass of Li + 3 . molar mass of N + 6 . molar mass of O
6.94 g/mol + 3. 14 g/mol + 6 . 16 g/mol = 144.94 g/mol
The mass of oxygen contained in 1 mol of lithium nitrite is:
6 . 16 g/mol = 96 g
So the percentage of oxygen present is:
(96 g / 144.94 g) . 100 = 66.2 %
