Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous molecule with lipid solu- bility similar to that of O2 and CO2. Endothelial cells lining arteries

use NO to signal surrounding smooth muscle cells to relax, thereby increasing blood flow. What mechanism or mechanisms would transport NO from where it is produced in the cytoplasm of an endothelial cell into the cytoplasm of a smooth muscle cell, where it acts?

Answer:

NO passively diffuses down its concentration gradient through the endothelial cell plasma membrane out of the cell and then passiveley diffuses through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm of the smooth muscle cell, where it acts to decrease contraction.

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, we must consider that O_2 and CO_2, NO passively diffuses through membranes. As it is produced by an enzyme and accumulates in the endothelial cell cytosol, NO passively diffuses down its concentration gradient through the endothelial cell plasma membrane out of the cell and then passiveley diffuses through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm of the smooth muscle cell, where it acts to decrease contraction.

Best regards

How many moles of oxygen are produced when 29.2 g of water is decomposed according to H20 H2 + O2​
Katarina [22]

8.1moles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water to be decomposed = 29.2g

Unknown:

Number of moles of oxygen.

Solution:

To solve this problem, we first write the balanced reaction equation :

               2H₂O    →     2H₂    +    O₂

Now convert the given mass of the water to number of moles;

  Number of moles of water = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

 

  Molar mass of water = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol

  Number of moles of water = \frac{29.2}{18}  = 16.2moles

   From the balanced reaction equation:

   2 moles of water produced 1 mole of oxygen gas;

   16.2 mole of water will produce   \frac{16.2}{2}  = 8.1moles of oxygen gas

Which is stronger - the attractive forces between water molecules and chromium and chloride ions, or the combined ionic bond str
Tju [1.3M]

Answer is: the combined ionic bond strength of CrCl₂ and intermolecular forces between water molecules.

When chromium chloride (CrCl₂) is dissolved in water, the temperature of the water increases, heat of the solution is endothermic.

Dissociation of chromium chloride in water: CrCl₂(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq).

Energy (the lattice energy) is required to pull apart the oppositely charged ions in chromium chloride.

The heat of hydration is liberated energy when the separated ions (in this example chromium cations and chlorine anions) attract polar water molecules.

Because the lattice energy is higher than the heat of the hydration (endothermic reaction), we can conclude that bonds between ions are strong (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions).

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Analyzing Reactions RxN
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂

[Given] 500. g C₆H₁₂O₆ (Glucose)

[Solve] moles C₂H₅OH (Ethanol)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 1 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 mol C₂H₅OH

[PT] Molar mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ - 6(12.01) + 12(1.01) + 6(16.00) = 180.18 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

  1. [DA] Set up conversion:                                                                                 \displaystyle 500 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6(\frac{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6}{180.18 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6})(\frac{2 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH}{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6})
  2. [DA} Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:                                                         \displaystyle 5.55001 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

5.55001 mol C₂H₅OH ≈ 5.55 mol C₂H₅OH

A student needed to make 100.0 mL of 0.20M NaOH solution. How many grams of sodium hydroxide does the student need to weigh out
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

0.08 g

Explanation:

100.0 mL = 0.10 L

Multiply the volume by the molarity to find moles.

0.10 L × 0.20 M = 0.002 mol

Convert moles to grams.

0.002 mol × 40 g/mol = 0.08 g

Elle wanted to test how temperature affects the rate of evaporation. She had three setups:
Pie

Answer:

Temperature

Explanation:

Here the factor that Elle is controlling is the temperature. So temperature here is the independent variable and the dependent variable is the rate of evaporation of water.  Independent variable is controlled during the experiment setup and the outcome of the dependent variable depends on the independent variable.
