In which situation would osmosis most likely occur in cells?

The answer is
Across a semi-permeable membrane that separates solutions of the same concentration
Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

it would most likely occur

———————————————————————————————————————

Across a semi-permeable membrane that separates solutions of different concentrations

———————————————————————————————————————

this is because osmosis is the ‘net’ movement of molecules from a ‘region’ of ‘higher concentration’ to a ‘region’ of ‘lower concentration’ ‘down the concentration gradient’.

Explain whether changing the ratio of baking soda and vinegar changes the amount of carbon dioxide produced. Include the evidenc
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Reducing the amount of vinegar will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced because there will be fewer molecules of acetic acid to react with the baking soda and produce the carbon dioxide.

To make more carbon dioxide, you could add either more acetic acid or more sodium bicarbonate or more of both.

Explanation:

Hope it helps! ^_^

How should the two heats of reaction for the neutralization of naoh and hcl and hc2h3o2 compare?
Andrew [12]
<span>Answer: he strong acid- strong base reaction should give more energy. So why is the heat of neutralization (enthalpy) of a strong acid such as HCl with a strong base like NaOH more than the heat of neutralization of a weak acid, such as acetic acid with NaOH? The enthalpy of neutralization of an acid by a base is defined as heat change when one gram equivalent of acid is neutralized by a base ,the reaction being carried out in dilute aqueous solution ... enthalpy of neutralization of base by an acid is defined in a similar manner... for example when 1 gram equivalent of HCl is neutralized with NaOH 57.1 kj of heat is produced .. HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq)----> NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)... H = -57.1 kj/mole hence enthalpy of neutralization of HCl with NaOH is 57.1 kj enthalpy of neutralization of any strong acid (like HCl,HNO3,H2SO4) with a strong base (like LiOH,NaOH,KOH) or vice versa is always the same i.e. 57.1 kj...this is because strong acids ,strong bases and salt that they form are all completely ionized in dilute aqueous solutions ...thus the reaction between any strong acid and strong base for example in the above case may be written as : NaOH (aq) + HCl(aq) -----> NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)... H = -57.1 kj/mole they will dissociate as : Na(+) (aq) + OH(-) (aq) + H(+) (aq) + Cl(-) (aq) ---> Na(+) (aq) + Cl(-) (aq) + H2O (l) common ions will cancel out.. H(+) (aq) + OH(-) (aq) ----> H2O (l) thus neutralization is simply a reaction between H(+) ions given by acids and OH(-) ions given by base to form one mole of H2O.....since strong acid and strong base completely ionize in aqueous solution number of H(+) and OH(-) produced by 1 gram equivalent of strong acid and strong base is always the same ...hence enthalpy of neutralization between a strong acid and strong base is always constant... if either the acid or base or both are weak the enthalpy of neutralization is less than 57.1 kj ...the reason for this behaviour can be explained by considering the neutralization between a strong base like NaOH and weak acid like acetic acid.. now acetic acid ionizes to a small extent whereas NaOH ionizes completely as : NaOH (aq) ----> Na(+) (aq) + OH(-) (aq) CH3COOH (aq)<--------> CH3COO(-)(aq) + H(+)(aq) (an equilibrium) when H(+) given by acid combine with OH(-) given by base the equilibrium shifts to right (in accordance with Le Chatelier's principle) ,so more of acetic acid dissociates ...a part of heat produced during combination of H(+) and OH(-) ions is used up for complete dissociation of acetic acid ...the heat thus used up is called enthalpy of dissociation or enthalpy of ionization ..it is 1.9 kj for acetic acid...hence net heat evolved in above reaction is 57.1 - 1. 9 = 55.2 kj ...which less than that evolved in strong base and strong acid reaction.</span>

In one compound of lead and sulfur, there are 6.46 g of lead
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Lead to Sulfur = 2 : 1

Explanation:

Given

Represent lead with L and Sulfur with S

L1 = 6.46g for S1 = 1 g

L2= 3.23g for S2 = 1 g

Required

Determine the simple whole number ratio of L to S

Divide L1 by L2

L = L1/L2

L = 6.46g/3.23g

L = 2

Divide S1 by S2

S = 1g/1g

S = 1

Represent L and S as a ratio:

L : S = 2 : 1

Hence, the required ratio of Lead to Sulfur is 2 to 1

Why a increase in volume causes a decrease in pressure
Sergio [31]

Answer:

If pressure increases, then volume decreases and vice versa, when temperature is held constant.” When pressure increases, the same number of molecules, or matter, are being forced closer together to occupy a shrinking space, their volume decreasing while their density correspondingly increases.
