Nonpolar and hydrophobic

Phospholipid molecules have a polar and hydrophillic head, which consists of glycerol and phosphate ions. In a plasma membrane, this head points towards the hydrophillic environment outside of the cell. The tails, on the other hand, are hydrophobic and nonpolar, which means they do not allow water to pass through them.<span />

What is the mass in grams of 0.000142 mol of vitamin c
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

0.0250 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the molar mass of Vitamin C.

The molar mass is the mass in grams corresponding to 1 mole. In order to calculate the molar mass of vitamin C (C₆H₈O₆) we need to add the molar masses of the elements that compose it.

M(C₆H₈O₆) = 6 × M(C) + 8 × M(H) + 6 × M(O)

M(C₆H₈O₆) = 6 × 12.01 g/mol + 8 × 1.01 g/mol + 6 × 16.00 g/mol

M(C₆H₈O₆) =  176.14 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.000142 mol of vitamin C.

0.000142 mol \times \frac{176.14g}{mol} =0.0250 g

1. Which graph shows the melting of crystalline solids? Explain your reasoning.
madreJ [45]
(1) The melting of a crystalline solid is best depicted by the second graph. This is because, the second graph shows a horizontal line which means that for a while there was no change in temperature. This zone is the latent heat of fusion. 

(2) The first graph shows the graph of a solid that is just heated but does not experience phase change. However, the second graph shows a solid that changes phase (from crystal/solid to liquid).

What mass of barium chloride, BaCL2, is required to completely precipitate the barium sulfate from 35.0 ml of 0.200 m h2so4?
faltersainse [42]
The balanced equation would be (1)BaCl2 + (1)H2SO4 --> (1)BaSO4 + (2)HCl2
Then you should know that the coefficients stand for moles.
The thing is I'm not sure if H2SO4 is 35 ml or .200 m. 
Also, is this topic stoichiometry?

What mass of O2, in grams, is required to completely react with 0.025 g C3H8?
8090 [49]
2C3H8+ 702--->6CO2+8H20
FROM  Equation  above  2  moles of C3H8    reacted with  7  moles  of oxygen  to  form   6  moles of  c02 plus  8  molesof  H2O  
the  moles  of  c3H8  reacted is = MASS/ R.F.M
THE  R.F.M =48+8=44
Number  of  moles is  hence 0.025/44=5.68x10^-4
 
since  ratio  of  C3H8  to   O2 is  2:7  Therefore moles of   O2  reacted  is  1.989 x10^-3
mass= r.f.m  x  number  of  moles
(1.989x10^-3)   x  32 =0.064g
