Which will diffuse through a membrane more rapidly, co or n2? assume that the samples contain only the most abundant isotopes of each element, 12c, 16o, and 14n?

Both will diffuse at the same rate

Explanation:

According to Graham's law, the rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the relative molecular mass of the gases. The two gases, carbon II oxide and nitrogen gas has the same relative molecular mass (28). This implies that they must diffuse at the same rate through an membrane.

water   molecules stay close to each other through cohesion, the collective action of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. cohesion plants draw water upwards from the root through the stem's transport tubes (xylem) to the leaf. this transport occurs even in large trees and against gravity. transpiration, evaporation of water from plant leaves, creates a tension on water molecules being pulled up from the stem and roots.

water also has high (the attraction of one substance to another) properties because of its polar nature. adhesion of water molecules to plant cell walls counteract gravity while water is transported from roots to leaves.

water exhibits a very high surface tension when compared to other liquids. surface tension is a property of a liquid that holds the surface together and allows it to resist an external force. by capillary action, the water forms concave menisci inside the pores. the high surface tension of water pulls the concavity outwards, generating enough force to lift water from the roots to the leaves of plants.

thus, cohesion, along with adhesion and surface tension creates a capillary action that keeps water molecules interacting and moving through the plants out to the leaf cells.

therefore, option d) is the correct answer.

explanation:

atomic number of carbon is 6

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²
