Chemistry

The way a lack of water could affect cell functions is that cell membranes would lack structure.

Osmosis causes water to flow from the cell into the surrounding liquid. This causes the protoplasm all the material inside the cell, to shrink from the cell wall. Excessive water loss leading to cell wall breakdown can lead to cell death. Water is an important part of the protoplasm of living cells as it is directly involved in myriad biochemical reactions such as photosynthesis and respiration.

Without them, cells cannot move waste and byproducts absorb nutrients, carry out intracellular transport functions or send signals. Regulates body temperature. Moisten eye nose and mouth tissues. Protects body organs and tissues. Carry nutrients and oxygen to cells. Plasmolysis is a situation in which cells lose water in hypertonic solutions. the plant cells lose water causing them to shrink or shrink removing the cell cytoplasm from the cell wall.

At what temperature would 0.500 moles of gas particles stored in a 100.0 mL container reach a pressure of 15.0 atm?
pychu [463]
We use the ideal gas equation in order to calculate the temperature of the system. It is expressed as follows:

PV=nRT

where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the universal gas constant and T is the temperature.

15 atm (.1 L) = 0.5 mol (0.08206 L-atm / mol-K) T
T = 36.56 K

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Ionic compounds form because ___ charges attract
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Ionic bonding is the attraction between positively- and negatively-charged ions. These oppositely charged ions attract each other to form ionic networks (or lattices). Electrostatics explains why this happens: opposite charges attract and like charges repel.

What type of bond is Na3PO4?; Is Na3PO4 ionic or molecular?; Does Na3PO4 have ionic and covalent bonds?; Is Na3PO4 a polyatomic
Leni [432]

The type of the bond is present Na₃PO₄ is the ionic bond. the Na₃PO₄ is the ionic compound. yes the Na₃PO₄ is the polyatomic ion.

The Na₃PO₄ is Na⁺  and PO₄³⁻. the phosphorus is the non metal and the oxygen atom  is the non metal. the non meta and non meta form the covalent or molecular bond. the bond between the PO₄³⁻ bond is the covalent bond but the overall present in the Na₃PO₄ is the ionic bond . the bons in between the Na⁺  and PO₄³⁻ is the the ionic bond. the PO₄³⁻ id the polyatomic ion .

The bond between the positively charged ion and the negatively charged ion are called as the ionic bond and the compound form is the ionic compound.
