Answer:

The cell is in a Hypotonic solution. When a cell is in a Hypotonic solution the lower osmotic pressure causing water to move across the pressure gradient into the solution causing the cell to shrivel.

What is the partial pressure of helium gas in a mixture that contains 8.00 grams of helium and 8.60 mol argon gas with a total p

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

$P_{He}=9.06torr$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, we can identify the solution to this problem via the Dalton's rule because the partial pressure of helium is given by:

$P_{He}=x_{He}P_T$

Whereas the mole fraction of helium is calculated by firstly obtaining the moles and then the mole fraction:

$n_{He}=8.00g\frac{1mol}{4.00g}=2.00mol\\\\ x_{He}=\frac{n_{He}}{n_{He}+n_{Ar}} \\\\ x_{He}=\frac{2.00mol}{2.00mol+8.60mol}\\\\x_{He}=0.189$

Then, we calculate the partial pressure as shown below:

$P_{He}=0.189 *48.0torr\\\\P_{He}=9.06torr$

What is the mass of H2O produced when 14.0 grams of H2 reacts completely with 2.0 grams of O2?

Vladimir79 [104]

Balanced chemical equation:

2 H2 + 1 O2 = 2 H2O

4 g H2 -------> 32 g O2 -----------> 36 g H2O
↓ ↓ ↓
14.0 g ---------> 2.0 g O2 ----------> mass H2O ?

32 * mass H2O = 2.0 * 36

32 * mass H2O = 72

mass of H2O = 72 / 32

mass of H2O = 2.25 g

hope this helps!.

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The frequency of this light is $6.98\times 10^{14} s^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

Wavelength of the light = $\lambda = 430 nm=4.30\times 10^{-7} m$

Speed of the light = c = $= 3\times 10^8 m/s$

Frequency of the light = $\nu$

$\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }$

$\nu =\frac{3\times 10^8 m/s}{4.30\times 10^{-7} m}=6.98\times 10^{14} s^{-1}$

The frequency of this light is $6.98\times 10^{14} s^{-1}$ .

Give the structures of both 1,2 and 1,4 adducts resulting from reaction of 1 equivalent of hcl with 1,3-pentadiene

GrogVix [38]

1,3-pentadiene has two double bonds which are conjugated, which undergo electrophilic addition reaction on reacting with $HCl$ .

The structure of 1,3-pentadiene is shown in the image.

When strong acid such as $HCl$ reacts with 1,3-pentadiene, the electrophilic addition reaction can occur either on double bond at 1,2-position or at 3,4-position. The reaction that occurs is shown in the image.
