Answer:

Water will flow from the cucumber to the solution is the answer.

Explanation:

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the term osmosis is defined as the movement of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane (as of a living cell) into a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equalize the concentrations of solute on the two sides of the membrane. This is what happens when water flows from the cucumber to the solution.

A cucumber is placed in a concentrated salt solution. What will most likely happen?

Answer:

If a cucumber is emerged in a very strong salt solution, the resulting pickles is shivered. It is because the cucumber tends to remove or lose water when placed in that particular environment.

A sample of sodium reacts completely with 0.355 kg of chlorine, forming 585 g of sodium chloride. What mass of sodium reacted?

Kay [80]

Answer:

The mass of sodium that reacted is 230 grams

Explanation:

The balance equation of the reaction is first written .

sodium = Na

Chlorine = Cl2

sodium chloride = NaCl

2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl

from the balance equation we calculate the molar mass involve in the reaction

Molar mass of sodium from the equation = 23(2) = 46 g

molar mass of sodium chloride from the eqaution = 23 × 2 + 35.5 × 2 = 46 + 71 = 117 g

If 46g of sodium is in 117 g of sodium chloride

? gram will be in 585 g of sodium chloride

cross multiply

46 × 585/117 = 26910/117 = 230 g

The mass of sodium that reacted is 230 grams

The easiest way to determine whether a process is exothermic or endothermic is to note the change in temperature in a calorimete

Kryger [21]

Answer:

In the calorimeter, water is the <u>exothermic</u>. The salt LiCI, which will dissolve, is the <u>endothermic</u>. The final temperature of the water after the dissolution of LiCI was <u>lower</u> than the initial temperature, meaning the process is <u>exothermic</u>. In the microscopic view of the disspolution of LiCI, water molecules were seen to move <u>slowly</u> as they <u>gained </u>energy.

Explanation:

Exothermic is a process in which heat is released during the process. Endothermic reactions absorbs heat from surrounding during a chemical process. The dissolution of salt into water is an exothermic reaction. During this process heat is release and water molecules are broken down which are surrounded by salt ions.

Balance the following oxidation-reduction reaction: Fe(s)+Na+(aq)→Fe2+(aq)+Na(s) Express the coefficients as integers separated

aliina [53]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 1, 2, 1, 2

Explanation:

1 Fe(s) + 2 Na⁺(aq) → 1 Fe²⁺(aq) + 2 Na(s)

Fe⁰ - 2e⁻ ⇒ Fe⁺² Oxidases

Na⁺ + 1 e⁻ ⇒ Na⁰ Reduces

1 x ( 1 Fe⁰ ⇒ 1 Fe⁺²) Interchange number of

2 x ( 2Na⁺ ⇒ 2 Na⁰ ) electrons

The boiling point of another member of this homologous series was found to be 309 KK. What is the likely molecular formula for t

Ganezh [65]

Answer: Pentane C5H12

Explanation:

The boiling point of a substance is simply defined as the temperature whereby a liquid's vapor pressure is equal to the pressure that is surrounding the liquid and hence, the liquid will changes into vapor.

The likely molecular formula for this compound is Pentane i.e C5H12 due to the fact that its boiling point is between Butane with formula C4H10 and Hexane with formula C6H14 boiling points.
