Abeaker of water is divided into two compartments, a and b, by an artificial lipid bilayer. the concentration of na+ in compartment a is 1.0 m, while the concentration of na+ in compartment b is 0.5 m. with regards to na+ concentration, compartment a would be referred to as while compartment b would be referred to as

Based on concentration of solute particles and hence the osmotic pressure the solutions can be classified into three categories , with respect to other solutions

a) isotonic: when concentration of one of the solution is same as of the other solution then they are referred as isotonic to each other.

b) hypertonic: When concentration of the solution is greater than the concentration of other solution then it is said to be hypertonic.

c) hypotonic: when concentration of the solution is lesser than the concentration of other solution then it is said to be hypotonic.

So a solution with high concentration of solute will have higher osomotic pressure and will called to have high pressure or tone hence called as hypertonic.

Thus compartment A will have high concentration and will called as hypertonic while the compartment B will have low concentration and will called as hypotonic

answer: - 3.) the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

solution: - as per the rules, oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2. the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a molecule or compound is zero.

also, the oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

in no, the oxidation number of o is -2 so the oxidation number of n is +2 so that the sum is zero.

similarly, the oxidation number of c in co is +2 and o is -2.

on product side the oxidation number of n is 0 as it is in the elemental form() .

oxidation number of c in carbon dioxide is +4 as there are two oxygen in it and we know that each oxygen is -2.

so, oxidation number of n is changing from +2 to 0 and the oxidation number of c is changing from +2 to +4.

since nitrogen is reduced and hence no is acting as an oxidizing agent. carbon is oxidized and so co is acting as a reducing agent.

so, the right choice is number 3.)the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

no but i do not usually comment or use my voice that much when it comes to social media
