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

) determine the theoretical yield and the percent yield if 21.8 g of k2co3 is produced from reacting 27.9 g ko2 with 29.0 l of c
Airida [17]
The Balanced Chemical Equation is as follow;

                         4 KO₂  +  2 CO₂    →    2 K₂CO₃  +  3 O₂

First find out the Limiting Reagent,
According to equation,

         284 g (4 moles) KO₂ reacted with  =  44.8 L (2 moles) of CO₂
So,
                  27.9 g of KO₂ will react with  =  X  L of CO₂


Solving for X,
                          X  =  (44.8 L × 27.9 g) ÷ 284 g

                          X  =  4.40 L of CO₂

Hence, to consume 27.9 g of KO₂ only 4.40 L CO₂ is required, while, we are provided with 29 L of CO₂, it means CO₂ is in excess and KO₂ is is limited amount, Therefore, KO₂ will control the yield of K₂CO₃. So,

According to eq.

         284 g (4 moles) KO₂ formed  =  138.2 g of K₂CO₃
So,
         27.9 g of KO₂ will form  =  X g of K₂CO₃

Solving for X,
                        X  =  (138.2 g × 27.9 g) ÷ 284 g

                        X  =  13.57 g of K₂CO₃

So, 13.57 g of K₂CO₃ formed is the theoretical yield.

%age Yield  =  13.57 / 21.8 × 100

%age Yield  =  62.24 %

A metal entrance door swings freely in the winter, but when
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

This phenomenon occurs because the door, being metal and leading to changes in temperature, undergoes proportional and morphological changes, metals face expansion and expansion in the presence of heat, called thermal expansion.

On the other hand, against the cold, thermal contraction is suffered, that is why its volume decreases, and it contracts.

Explanation:

The expansion phenomenon of the door is not linear, since it increases its volume in width and height, therefore simultaneously on the entire surface.

When an area or surface expands, it does so by increasing its dimensions in the same proportion. For example, a metal sheet increases its length and width, which means an increase in area. Area dilation differs from linear dilation in that it involves an increase in area.

The area expansion coefficient is the increase in area that a body of a certain substance experiences, with an area equal to unity, as its temperature rises one degree centigrade. This coefficient is represented by the Greek letter gamma.

Regarding shrinkage, a clear example of this is when a metal foundry or a weld shrinks, sometimes it is difficult to understand with examples like these (doors) because it is little noticeable by our eyes and the dimensional changes for our perspective. it is infima.

Which scientist arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic number, rather than increasing atomic mass?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Henry Moseley

Explanation:

Dmitry Mendeleef and Lothar Meyer proposed a periodic table based on the atomic mass.

They stated a periodic law expressed as "chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights".

But, Henry Moseley in 1900s re-stated periodic law by changing the basis of the law from atomic weight to atomic number.

The present periodic law is stated as "the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number".
