The movement of particles from high to low concentration. True or False

Physics
1 answer:
Digiron [165]3 years ago
8 0

Question:

Diffusion is the movement of particles from high to low concentration. True or False

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Diffusion is a process that allows the movement of substance or particles in and out of cells through a semipermeable membrane.

Diffusion is a process that allows the spread or movement of particles from the region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

Diffusion only occurs in gases and solution but not in solids, it also occurs only where particles can move freely.

Note: When particles move from the region of higher concentration to a lower concentration, it gives room for even, uniform and random distribution of particles.

When a certain gas under a pressure of 4.65 106 Pa at 21.0°C is allowed to expand to 3.00 times its original volume, its final p
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

-72.0°C

Explanation:

PV = nRT

Since n, number of moles, is constant:

PV / T = PV / T

(4.65×10⁶ Pa) V / (21 + 273.15) K = (1.06×10⁶ Pa) (3V) / T

T = 201.16 K

T = -72.0°C

Jeff's body contains about 5.46 L of blood that has a density of 1060 kg/m3. Approximately 45.0% (by mass) of the blood is cells
barxatty [35]

Answer:

a

The mass of blood is m= 5.7876kg

b

The number of blood cells is  N_t=1.04*10^{13}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

         The volume of blood  is  V_b = 5.46 \ L = \frac{5.46}{1000} = 0.00546m^3

         The density of the blood is  \rho_b = 1060 kg/m^3

         % of blood  that is  cell is  = 45.0%

        % of the blood that is  plasma is  = 55.0%

        density of blood cell is  \rho_d = 1125kg/m^3

        % of cell that are white is  = 1%

        % of cell that is red is  = 99%

        The diameter of the red blood cell is  = 7.5 \mu m = 7.5*10^{-6}m

         The radius of the red blood cell is  = \frac{7.5*10^{-6}}{2} = 3.75*10^{-6}m

Generally the mass is mathematically  represented as

               m = \rho_b * V_b

Substituting value

            m = 1060 * 0.00546

               m= 5.7876kg

Mass of cell is m_c = 45% of m

                         = 0.45 * 5,7876

                         = 2.60442 kg

The volume of cells is V_c = \frac{m_c}{\rho_d}

                                      = \frac{2.60442}{1125}

                                      = 2.315 *10^{-3} m^3

The volume of white blood cell is V_w = 1% of volume of cells

                                                         = \frac{1}{100} * 2.315*10^{-3}

                                                       = 2.315*10^{-5}m^3

The volume of a single cell is V_s = 4 \pi r^3

                                                                        = 4*(3.142) * (3.75*10^{-6})^3

                                                                        = 2.21*10^{-16}m^3

The volume of red blood cells is V_r = V_c - V_w

                                                           =2.315*10^{-3} - 2.315*10^{-5}

                                                           = 2.29*10^{-3}m^3

The number of red blood cell is  = \frac{V_r}{V_s}

                                                     = \frac{2.29 *10^{-3}}{2.21*10^{-16}}

                                                    = 1.037*10^{13}

The Number of white blood cell is   =\frac{V_w}{V_s}

                                                          = \frac{2.315 * 10^{-5}}{2.21*10^{-16}}

                                                          = 1.04*10^{11}

The total number of blood cells is  N_t= 1.037*10^{13} + 1.04*10^{11}

                                                        N_t=1.04*10^{13}

Atmospheric pressure is greater at the base of a mountain than at
aliina [53]

At the top of the mountain, when he tightens the cap onto the bottole, there is some water and some air inside the bottle.  Then he brings the bottle down to the base of the mountain.

The pressure on the outside of the bottle is greater  than it was when he put the cap on.  If anything could get out of the bottlde, it would. But it can't . . . the cap is on too tight. So all the water and all the air has to stay inside, and anything that can get squished into a smaller space has to get squished into a smaller space.

The water is pretty much unsquishable.

Biut the air in there can be <em>COMPRESSED</em>.  The air gets squished into a smaller space, and the bottle wrinkles in slightly.
