Why do plant animal cells both have mitochondria?

LuckyWell [14K]

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of a cell. They are important because they are an energy factor for both plant and animal cells. They take the food you eat, and turn that as energy for the rest of the cell to use. It is critical that every cell has one to survive whether plant or animal.

What is the vapor pressure of the solution if 35.0 g of water is dissolved in 100.0 g of ethyl alcohol at 25 ∘C? The vapor press

masya89 [10]

Answer: The vapor pressure of the solution is 43.55 mmHg

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For water:

Given mass of water = 35.0 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{35.0g}{18g/mol}=1.944mol$

For ethyl alcohol:

Given mass of ethyl alcohol = 100.0 g

Molar mass of ethyl alcohol = 46 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of ethyl alcohol}=\frac{100.0g}{46g/mol}=2.174mol$

Total moles of solution = [1.944 = 2.174] moles = 4.118 moles

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

For water:

$\chi_{\text{water}}=\frac{n_{\text{water}}}{n_{\text{water}}+n_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}}$

$\chi_{water}=\frac{1.944}{4.118}=0.472$

For ethyl alcohol:

$\chi_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}=\frac{n_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}}{n_{\text{water}}+n_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}}$

$\chi_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}=\frac{2.174}{4.118}=0.528$

Dalton's law of partial pressure states that the total pressure of the system is equal to the sum of partial pressure of each component present in it.

To calculate the vapor pressure of the solution, we use the law given by Dalton, which is:

$P_T=\sum_{i=1}^n (p_i\times \chi_i)$

Or,

$P_T=[(p_{\text{water}}\times \chi_{\text{water}})+(p_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}\times \chi_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}$

We are given:

Vapor pressure of water = 23.8 mmHg

Vapor pressure of ethyl alcohol = 61.2 mmHg

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$p_T=[(23.8\times 0.472)+(61.2\times 0.528)]\\\\p_T=43.55mmHg$

Hence, the vapor pressure of the solution is 43.55 mmHg

Which one of the following statements about mixtures is correct [2] [3] The different substances in a mixture are always in a de

aivan3 [116]

Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A mixture is defined as a substance that contains two or more different substance that are physically mixed with each other.

If solute particles are evenly distributed in a solvent then it is known as a homogeneous mixture.

For example, salt dissolved in water is a homogeneous mixture.

If solute particles are unevenly distributed into the solvent then it is known as a heterogeneous mixture.

For example, sand in water is a heterogeneous mixture.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement a mixture must contain at least two different substances, is correct about mixtures.
