C Time of year I just took the quiz.
Answer:
Dissolve 47.025 grams of sucrose in enough water to produce 250 ml of solution.
Explanation:
You need to prepare 250. mL of a 0.550 M aqueous solution of sucrose, C12H22O11 (aq),
which is used frequently in biological experiments.
Based on your answer above, what is the value of x?
Solution:
A 0.550 M aqueous solution contains 0.550 mole of sucrose per liter of solution.
250 ml = 0.250 liter
Thus a 0.250 liter of a 0.550 M aqueous solution of sucrose contains 0.250 * 0.550 = 0.1375 mole of sucrose
Recall:
Mass = number of moles * mass of 1 mole
mass of 1 mole of C12H22O11
= 12(12) + 1(22) + 16(11)
= 144 + 22 + 176
= 342 grams
Mass = 0.1375 * 342 = 47.025 grams of sucrose.
Dissolve 47.025 grams of sucrose in enough water to produce 250 ml of solution.
Mitochondria! That is why it is called the powerhouse of the cell!
It helps homeostasis, by maintaining the shape of a cell depending on how much solute is outside of the cell and how much water is inside the cell, in an isotonic solution the size of the cell stays the same because the amount of water inside the cell is the exact same percentage of solute outside of the cell.
