What is a saturated solution that cannot dissolve any more solute because it is too concentrated?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: A saturated solution, by definition, contains an amount of solute equal to the amount of dissolved solute in equilibrium with an undissolved solute. We could, however, make a supersaturated solution in which the solvent contains more solute than would be in equilibrium with undissolved.

Explanation: More solute cannot be dissolved at a given temperature in a saturated solution. This is because the solute dissolves in a solvent due to the space between the solvent particles, but with the continuous addition of solute, the space between the solvent particles is filled. As a result, no more solute particles can dissolve in the solvent.

Suppose a group of volunteers is planning to build a park near a local lake. The lake is known to contain low levels of arsenic

ale4655 [162]

A) 10.75 is the concentration of arsenic in the sample in parts per billion .

B) 7,633.66 kg the total mass of arsenic in the lake that the company have to remove.

C)It will take 1.37 years to remove all of the arsenic from the lake.

Explanation:

A) Mass of arsenic in lake water sample = 164.5 ng

The ppb is the amount of solute (in micrograms) present in kilogram of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.

To calculate the ppm of oxygen in sea water, we use the equation:

$\text{ppb}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 10^9$

Both the masses are in grams.

We are given:

Mass of arsenic = 164.5 ng = $164.5\times 10^{-9} g$

$1 ng=10^{-9} g$

Volume of the sample = V = $15.3 cm^3$

Density of the lake water sample ,d= $1.00 g/cm^3$

Mass of sample = M = $d\times V=1.0 g/cm^3\times 15.3 cm^3=15.3 g$

$ppb=\frac{164.5\times 10^{-9} g}{15.3 g}\times 10^9=10.75$

10.75 is the concentration of arsenic in the sample in parts per billion.

Mass of arsenic in $1 cm^3$ of lake water = $\frac{164.5\times 10^{-9} g}{15.3}=1.075\times 10^{-8} g$

Mass of arsenic in $0.710 km^3$ lake water be m.

$1 km^3=10^{15} cm^3$

Mass of arsenic in $0.710\times 10^{15} cm^3$ lake water :

$m=0.710\times 10^{15}\times 1.075\times 10^{-8} g=7,633,660.130 g$

1 g = 0.001 kg

7,633,660.130 g = 7,633,660.130 × 0.001 kg=7,633.660130 kg ≈ 7,633.66 kg

7,633.66 kg the total mass of arsenic in the lake that the company have to remove.

Company claims that it takes 2.74 days to remove 41.90 kilogram of arsenic from lake water.

Days required to remove 1 kilogram of arsenic from the lake water :

$\frac{2.74}{41.90} days$

Then days required to remove 7,633.66 kg of arsenic from the lake water :

$=7,633.66\times \frac{2.74}{41.90} days=499.19 days$

1 year = 365 days

499.19 days = $\frac{499.19}{365} years = 1.367 years\approx 1.37 years$

Company claims that it takes 2.74 days to remove 41.90 kilogram of arsenic from lake water.

Days required to remove 1 kilogram of arsenic from the lake water :

$\frac{2.74}{41.90} days$

Then days required to remove 7,633.66 kg of arsenic from the lake water :

$=7,633.66\times \frac{2.74}{41.90} days=499.19 days$

1 year = 365 days

499.19 days = $\frac{499.19}{365} years = 1.367 years\approx 1.37 years$

It will take 1.37 years to remove all of the arsenic from the lake.

What best describes why hair gel is considered a noncrystalline solid?

ad-work [718]

Given what we know, we can confirm that hair gel is considered a noncrystalline solid due to Atoms in the hair gel having no particular order or pattern.

<h3>What is a noncrystalline solid?</h3>

This is a solid whose atoms are amorphous.
What this means is that the atoms lack a specific order like most solids.
The most common example of this is glass.

Therefore, given the definition of a noncrystalline solid as a solid whose atoms lack a specified order, we can confirm that the second option which states that "Atoms in the hair gel having no particular order or pattern" is correct.

How does insulin bind to cells and the mechanism involved in triggering the cells to take in glucose

Lera25 [3.4K]

Explanation:

Once blood glucose levels increase, pancreatic insulin migrates into a fat cell via the blood stream. Insulin then binds in the plasma membrane of the cell to an Insulin Receptor (IR). Through autophosphorylation, phosphate groups are then added to the IR, causing GLUT4 molecules to come to the cell's surface.
