Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. compared to its surroundings, the concentration of solutes is low inside a cell. so, the cell is with respect to its surroundings. a particular solute in this cell uses energy for its transport from the cell to its surroundings. this type of transport is called

A30 kg weight lies on top of a massless piston of area a = 0.01 m2 the exterior air is at a (constant) p =1 atm and t = 27 c. the interior gas is 0.4 moles of (ideal) n2 and it has initial temperature 27.00 degrees c. 1. what is the initial pressure in the interior? a. 29.4 kpa b. 130.7 kpa c. 101.3 kpa the next three questions concern what happens when an amount of heat q is slowly added to the interior, raising the piston by 1 mm and raising the interior temperature to 27.40 c
