What is the major divide or ridgeline that separate Virginia's watersheds?

1 answer:

6 0

In Virginia, the continental divide separates the New River from the Roanoake and James River. East of the continental divide, the rivers flow east or south toward the Atlantic Ocean. West of the continental divide, the rivers flow north or west toward the Gulf of Mexico by way of the Ohio and the Mississippi Rivers.

Answer: C) be hypertonic to Tank B.

Explanation:

The ability of an extracellular solution to move water in or out of a cell by osmosis is known as its tonicity. Additionally, the tonicity of a solution is related to its osmolarity, which is the total concentration of all the solutes in the solution.

Three terms (hypothonic, isotonic and hypertonic) are used to compare the osmolarity of a solution with respect to the osmolarity of the liquid that is found after the membrane. 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 (lower concentration of solute) 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 (higher concentration of solute) 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 (equal concentration of solute) 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 the solution in this tank can not be hypotonic with respect to the one in Tank B.

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, options B and D are also not correct.

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.

A 1.8 g sample of octane C8H18 was burned in a bomb calorimeter and the temperature of 100 g of water increased from 21.36 C to

melomori [17]

Answer:

HEAT OF COMBUSTION PER GRAM OF OCTANE IS 1723.08 J OR 1.72 KJ/G OF HEAT

HEAT OFF COMBUSTION PER MOLE OF OCTANE IS 196.4 KJ/ MOL OF HEAT

Explanation:

Mass of water = 100 g

Change in temperature = 28.78 °C - 21.36°C = 7.42 °C

Heat capcacity of water = 4.18 J/g°C

Mass of octane = 1.8 g

Molar mass of octane = C8H18 = (12 * 8 + 1 * 18) g/mol= 96 + 18 = 114 g/mol

First is to calculate the heat evolved when 100 g of water is used:

Heat = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature

Heat = 100 * 4.18 * 7.42

Heat = 3101.56 J

In other words, 3101.56 J of heat was evolved from the reaction of 1.8 g octane with water.

Heat of combustion of octane per gram:

1.8 g of octane produces 3101.56 J of heat

1 g of octane will produce ( 3101.56 * 1 / 1.8)

= 1723.08 J of heat

So, heat of combustion of octane per gram is 1723.08 J

Heat of combustion per mole:

1.8 g of octane produces 3101.56 J of heat

1 mole of octane will produce X J of heat

1 mole of octane = 114 g/ mol of octane

So we have:

1.8 g of octane = 3101.56 J

114 g of octane = (3101.56 * 114 / 1.8) J of heat

= 196 432.13 J

= 196. 4 kJ of heat

The heat of combustion of octane per mole is 196.4 kJ /mol.

Mass of water = 100 g

Change in temperature = 28.78 °C - 21.36°C = 7.42 °C

Heat capcacity of water = 4.18 J/g°C

Mass of octane = 1.8 g

Molar mass of octane = C8H18 = (12 * 8 + 1 * 18) g/mol= 96 + 18 = 114 g/mol

First is to calculate the heat evolved when 100 g of water is used:

Heat = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature

Heat = 100 * 4.18 * 7.42

Heat = 3101.56 J
