We could use a laboratory scale to measure a mole of solid material. A mole represents Avogadro's number of atoms or molecules of the solid material. Table salt, sodium chloride, for instance has a weight of 58.44277 grams per mole. The scale in the chemistry lab would be the instrument to use to measure that and to measure out a mole of most other solids.

When is water a solute?

We normally think of a solute as a solid that is added to a solvent (e.g., adding table salt to water), but the solute could just as easily exist in another phase. For example, if we add a small amount of ethanol to water, then the ethanol is the solute and the water is the solvent. If we add a smaller amount of water to a larger amount of ethanol, then the water could be the solute!

Why do you need to be concerned about nano science?

The effects of Nano particles is unkown small particles could act much like asbestos does and could pose a risk to human health and the environment.


What instrument measures mileage?

An odometer is the most typical mile measuring device. A topofile plays out a string against a wheel which can also measure miles. More cumbersome yet one could use a chain or tape measure. Less cumbersome would be a laser. Even small survey lasers can accurately measure a mile.You could time sound waves using a clock, or light reflection with an extremely accurate clock.Given a known "height" standard, you can use parallax (surveyor's theodolite).For light years, you can use "standard candles"... stars of known mass / intensity, and measure the intensity of the unknown distant object. The instrument for this would be a photon counter.For objects outside the Virgo supercluster, you can use redshift of characteristic wavelengths--measured by a spectrophotometer.well if I had to say it would be a odometer or a trundle wheel

If You Could Visualize Osmosis Seeing The Solute And Solvent Particles As Individual Entities What Would An Osmotic Gradient Look Like?

An osmotic gradient would appear as a higher concentration of solute particles on one side and a lower concentration on the other side. You would observe solvent particles moving from the side of lower solute concentration to the side of higher solute concentration to balance out the concentrations. This movement of solvent particles is what drives osmosis.

What is a tranmissometer?

A transmitometer is an instrument used to measure the transmission of electromagnetic signals, particularly in relation to weather conditions such as fog or smoke. It works by sending and receiving signals to determine visibility and the presence of particles in the air that could disrupt the signal.

How could we measure solubility?

Solubility can be measured by determining the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature. This is often done by conducting experiments where varying amounts of the solute are added to a fixed amount of solvent until no more solute can dissolve. The amount of solute that dissolves is then quantified, usually in grams per 100 mL of solvent.

How could you prove or disprove that a specific solute was able to diffuse through w semipermeable membrane?

To prove that a specific solute can diffuse through a semipermeable membrane, you could set up an experiment where the solute is placed on one side of the membrane, and a solution without the solute is on the other side. Over time, you would measure the concentration of the solute on both sides of the membrane. If the concentration increases on the side without the solute, it indicates that diffusion has occurred. To disprove diffusion, you would find that the concentration remains unchanged on the opposing side, suggesting that the solute cannot pass through the membrane.


Would the invasion of a cell by viruses increase decrease or have no effect on the osmolarity of a cell?

The invasion of a cell by viruses increases the cell's osmolarity. This occurs because the viruses act like any other particle. As the number of viruses increases, the number of particles in the cells increases as well. This increased particle number gives the cells an increased osmolarity that could eventually lead to cellular lysis.
