The counter-current is the process that occurs in the excretory system. The limbs become the multiplier because of the active transport of the electrolytes that move out.

<h3>What is the loop of Henle?</h3>

The loop of Henle is the part of the excretory system and part of the nephron. It functions in minimizing the water loss in the excretion of urine. There are descending and ascending loops present.

The ascending loop is impermeable to water but permeable to the electrolytes, and hence the concentration of the sodium, potassium, and chloride ions are actively pumped. This makes the solution more concentrated in the ascending loop.

Therefore, the electrolyte concentration results in active transport.

Which gas will effuse at the rate closest At a particular pressure and temperature, nitrogen gas effuses at the rate of 79mLs. U
Contact [7]

Answer : The rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas is 52 mL/s.

Solution :

According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.

R\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}

or,

(\frac{R_1}{R_2})=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}       ..........(1)

where,

R_1 = rate of effusion of nitrogen gas = 79mL/s

R_2 = rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas = ?

M_1 = molar mass of nitrogen gas  = 28 g/mole

M_2 = molar mass of sulfur dioxide gas = 64 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

(\frac{79mL/s}{R_2})=\sqrt{\frac{64g/mole}{28g/mole}}

R_2=52mL/s

Therefore, the rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas is 52 mL/s.

In the reduction of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone with sodium borohydride, the major product has the tert-butyl group in the equator
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Axial position

Explanation:

In the reduction of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone with sodium borohydride, the major product has the tert-butyl group in the equatorial position and the alcohol in the axial position.

The reason for this is that, axial bonds are parallel to each other. If  substituents are larger than hydrogen, they experience a greater steric crowding in axial compared to the equatorial position. Therefore, many substituted cyclohexane compounds prefer a conformation in which the larger substituents are in equatorial position.
