Sodium hydroxide + copper sulfate 1.observations before interaction 2.observations after interaction 3.was mass conserved? 4.proof of a chemical reaction

Reaction for observation: Sodium Hydroxide + Copper Sulfate

Full reaction:

                         2NaOH + CuSO4 --> Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO4

Observations Before Interaction:

Sodium hydroxide is a turbid solution and copper sulfate is in form of bright blue crystals.

Observations After Interaction:

When their solutions are mixed with each other, a pale blue precipitate of basic copper hydroxide & a solution of neutral salt sodium sulphate will be formed.

Was Mass Conserved?

Yes, mass was conserved.

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that "mass cannot be created or destroyed, but changed into different forms".

Hence mass was conserved.

The proof of the reaction is the appearance of pale blue precipitates of of basic copper hydroxide & a solution of neutral salt sodium sulphate.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
