Answer:

The osmotic gradient is the difference in concentration between two solutions on either side of a semipermeable membrane, and is used to tell the difference in percentages of the concentration of a specific particle dissolved in a solution.

The above answer is correct, and also the concentration gradient is vital to osmosis as it must occur from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water through a semipermeable membrane.

WORTH 20 POINTS Confirmation bias is where a scientist may change the data to support a certain bias.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Confirmation Bias is the tendency to look for information that supports, rather than rejects, one’s preconceptions, typically by interpreting evidence to confirm existing beliefs while rejecting or ignoring any conflicting data

Determine the mass of a ball with a wavelength of 3.45 × 10-34 m and a velocity of 6.55 m/s

Yuki888 [10]

293 grams The formula for the wavelength of a massive particle is Î» = h/p where Î» = wavelength h = Plank constant (6.626070040Ă—10^â’34 J*s) p = momentum (mass times velocity) So let's solve for momentum and from there get the mass Î» = h/p Î»p = h p = h/Î» Substitute known values and solve p = 6.626070040Ă—10^â’34 J*s/3.45Ă—10^-34 m p = 1.92 J*s/m Since momentum is the product of mass and velocity, we have p = M * V p/V = M So substitute again, and solve. p/V = M 1.92 J*s/m / 6.55 m/s = M 1.92 kg*m/s / 6.55 m/s = M 1.92 kg*m/s / 6.55 m/s = M 0.293 kg = M So the mass is 293 grams

If you would draw the Lewis structures of these atoms, you would see that A has 2 electron pairs and 2 lone electrons (that can bond). For B you’d see that you only have 1 electron that can form a bond. This means that 1 atom of A (2 lone electrons) can bond with 2 atoms of B. To know the kind of bond you have to know wether or not there will be a ‘donation’ of an electron from one atom to another. This happens when the number of electrons on one atoms is equal to the number of electrons another atom needs to reach the noble gas structure. As you can see, this is not the case here. This means that you get an AB2 structure with covalent character.
