Ions in solution are found in a hydration shell of water. This shell must be removed for an ion to pass through the channel. How

The K+ channel uses the energy in ATP hydrolysis to remove the hydration shell from the K+ion

All of this truly implies is that one of these bonds breaks in a hydrolysis process (a water-mediated breakdown reaction), releasing a sizable amount of energy.

The following reaction results in the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP:

ATP+H2O⇋ADP+Pi+energy

The hydrolysis of ATP to ADP is reversible, like the majority of chemical processes.

Energy is needed for the reverse process, which creates ATP from ADP and Pitext P iPi start subscript, P, end subscript, start subscript, I end subscript.

Because cells frequently use (hydrolyze) ATP molecules and depend on constant production of replacement ATP, ATP regeneration is crucial1^1.

Hence the  K+ channel uses the energy in ATP hydrolysis to remove the hydration shell from the K+ion

1. A light bulb is filled with 3.54 g of argon at 25 C and 725 mmHg. What is
Ugo [173]

Answer: The volume of given gas is 2.27 L.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 3.54 g

Temperature = 25^{o}C = (25 + 273) K = 298 K

Pressure = 725 mm Hg (1 mm Hg = 0.00131579) = 0.95 atm

As moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass.

So, moles of argon (molar mass = 40 g/mol) is as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{3.54 g}{40 g/mol}\\= 0.0885 mol

Formula used to calculate the volume of given gas is as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = no. of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

PV = nRT\\0.95 atm \times V = 0.0885 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 298 K\\V = 2.27 L

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of given gas is 2.27 L.

Answer:

1. Chemical reactions

2.Substances

3. Properties

4. Precipitate

5. Light

6. Temperature

7. Color

8. Gas

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are known to produce new substances which have new properties. During the chemical reactions, evidences that are seen are formation of precipitate or light gel, production of gas and change in temperature and color.

Chemical reactions occur when chemical substances come together to react because those substances are compatible with each other.

PLZ HELP 20 POINTS WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST how does substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon affect the resulti
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons are known as hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons can be saturated or unsaturated in nature. Saturated hydrocarbons are those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds whereas unsaturated hydrocarbons contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds. Hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.

When one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon are substituted with halogen it results in the formation of haloalkane. Due to which the molecular weight increases as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms. The bond becomes polar due to the presence of electronegative halogen atom and thus results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

Thus, the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
