Which of the solutions have greatest osmotic pressure 30% sucrose 60% sucrose or 30% magnesium sulfate?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:Osmotic pressure is the minimum amount of pressure a solution must exert in order to prevent from crossing a barrier by osmosis. Solute molecules have difficulty crossing semipermeable membranes, so the more solutes that are in a solution, the higher the osmotic pressure will be. Between 30% sucrose and 60% sucrose, 60% sucrose will have a greater osmotic pressure than 30% because it has a higher percentage of solutes. However, since sucrose has a higher potential to cross semipermeable membranes and is more absorbable than magnesium sulfate, magnesium sulfate would have a higher osmotic pressure than 60% sucrose even though 60% sucrose has higher molecules.

What is the wavelength of a wave having a frequency of 2500 Hz

Lemur [1.5K]

We will assume that the wave is moving in free space, thus, the velocity of the wave would be equal to the speed of light = 3 * 10^8 meters/sec

The velocity of the wave can be calculated using the following rule:
velocity = frequency * wavelength where:
velocity = 3 * 10^8 m/sec
frequency = 2500 Hz
wavelength is the unknown that we want to calculate.

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the wavelength as follows:
3 * 10^8 = 2500*wavelength
wavelength = 120 * 10^3 meters

How many grams of sodium phosphate monobasic would we add to a liter and how many grams of sodium phosphate dibasic would we add

Nostrana [21]

Answer :

The correct answer for Mass of Na₂HPO₄ = 4.457 g and mass of NaH₂PO₄ = 8.23 g

Given : pH = 6.86

Total concentration of Phosphate buffer = 0.1 M

Asked : Mass of Sodium phosphate monobasic (NaH₂PO₄) = ?

Mass of Sodium phosphate dibasic(Na₂HPO₄)= ?

Following steps can be done to find the masses of NaH₂PO₄ and Na₂HPO₄ :

(In phosphate buffer , Na+ ion from NaH₂PO₄ and Na₂HPO₄ acts as spectator ion , so only H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄²⁻ will be considered )

Step 1 : To find pka

H₂PO₄⁻ <=> HPO₄²⁻

The above reaction has pka = 7.2 ( from image shown )

Step 2 : Plug values in Hasselbalch- Henderson equation .

Hasselbalch -Henderson equation is to find pH for buffer solution which is as follows :

$pH = pka + log\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}$

pH = 6.86 pKa = 7.2

$6.86 = 7.2 + log \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}$

Subtracting both side by 7.2

$6.86-7.2 = 7.2 -7.2+ log \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}$

$-0.34 = log \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}$

Removing log

$10^-^0^.^3^4 = \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}$

$\frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[ H_2PO_4^-]} = 0.457$ ---------------- equation (1)

Step 3 : To find molarity of H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄²⁻

Total concentration of buffer = [H₂PO₄⁻] + [HPO₄²⁻] = 0.1 M

Hence, [H₂PO₄⁻ ] + [ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 M

Assume [H₂PO₄⁻ ] = x

So , [x ] + [ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 M

[ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 - x

Step 4 : Plugging value of [H₂PO₄⁻ ] and [ HPO₄²⁻ ]

[H₂PO₄⁻ ] = x

[ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 - x

Equation (1) = > $\frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[ H_2PO_4^-]} = 0.457$

Plug value of [H₂PO₄⁻ ] and [ HPO₄²⁻ ] ( from step 3 ) into equation (1) as :

$\frac{[0.1 - x ]}{[ x]} = 0.457$

Cross multiplying

$0.1 - x = 0.457 x$

Adding x on both side

$0.1 -x + x = 0.457 x + x$

$0.1 = 1.457 x$

Dividing both side by 1.457

$\frac{0.1}{1.457} = \frac{1.457 x }{1.457}$

x = 0.0686 M

Hence , [H₂PO₄⁻ ] = x = 0.0686 M

[ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 - x

[ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 - 0.0686

[ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.0314 M

Step 5 : To find moles of H₂PO₄⁻ ( NaH₂PO₄) and HPO₄²⁻ (Na₂HPO₄ ) .

Molarity is defined as mole of solute per 1 L volume of solution .

Molarity of NaH₂PO₄ = 0.0686 M or 0.0686 mole per 1 L

Molarity of Na₂HPO₄ = 0.0314 M or 0.0314 mole per 1 L

Since that volume of buffer solution is 1 L , so Molarity = mole

Hence Mole of NaH₂PO₄ = 0.0686 mol

Mole of Na₂HPO₄ = 0.0314 mol

Step 6 : To find mass of Na₂HPO₄ and NaH₂PO₄

Moles of Na₂HPO₄ and NaH₂PO₄ can be converted to their masses using molar mass as follows :

Molar mass of Na₂HPO₄ = $141.96 \frac{g}{mol}$

Molar mass of NaH₂PO₄ = $119.98 \frac{g}{mol}$

$Mass (g) = mole (mol)* molar mass(\frac{g}{mol})$

$Mass of Na_2HPO_4 = 0.0314 mol * 141.96 \frac{g}{mol}$

Mass of Na₂HPO₄ = 4.457 g

$Mass of NaH_2PO_4 = 0.0686 mol * 119.98 \frac{g}{mol}$

Mass of NaH₂PO₄ = 8.23 g

In a chemical reaction such as photosynthesis, are the substances present before the reaction

sashaice [31]

Yes

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction such as photosynthesis, substances are present before the reaction starts.

A chemical reaction is usually represented by simple chemical equations that shows the reactants and the products.

The reactants are the compounds combining together at the beginning of the reaction.
For photosynthesis, the reactants are carbon dioxide and water.
The products are the results obtained from the combining reactants.
In photosynthesis, they are glucose and oxygen gases.
