Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Cell membrane can be defined as the outermost covering of the cell which allows the movement of particles across membrane. The particles are allowed to move from inside of the cell to the outside of the cell and from outside to inside of the cell.

This kind of a membrane is known as selectively permeable which allows the movement of certain molecules only.

hence, the correct answer is option B

Kerosene, a common space-heater fuel, is a mixture of hydrocarbons whose "average" formula is C₁₂H₂₆.

padilas [110]

The calculated enthalpy of formation of kerosene is 365.4 kJ and heat produced is 78650.3 kJ

For this, we need the normal enthalpy of formation given below

ΔH∘f(CO2)=−393.5kJ/molΔH∘f(H2O)\s=−241.8kJ/molΔH∘f(O2)=0kJ/mol

We shall now determine the enthalpy of kerosene formation:

H rxn = 24 mol H f (CO2) + 26 mol H f (H2O) + 2 mol H f (C12H26) + 37 mol H f (O2) + 1.50 104 kJ = 9444 kJ + 6286.8 kJ + 1500 kJ 2 mol H f (C12H26) = 730.8 kJ H f (C12H26) = 365.4 kJ

Kerosene has a density of 0.74 g/mL.

Kerosene volume (V) equals 0.63 gallons, or 0.63 x 3785.4, or 2384. 8 mL.

We shall now calculate the mass (m) of kerosene:

ρ=mVm\s=ρ×Vm\s=0.749g/mL×2384.mLm\s=1786.2g

We shall now discover the heat that 1786 generated.

Two grams of kerosene

Kerosene's molar mass is 170.33 g/mol.

The mass of two moles of kerosene is equal to 2*170.33*340.66g.

1.50104kJ of heat are generated by 340.66 g of kerosene.

1786 produced heat.

Kerosene 2 grams = 1.50 104 kJ 340.66 1786.2 g = 78650.3 kJ

1. The two qualities used to describe winds are________ and speed. 2. a local wing that blows during the day from an ocean towar

Mazyrski [523]

<span>1. The two qualities used to describe winds are direction and speed.
2. a local wind that blows during the day from an ocean toward land is a(n) sea breeze.
3. The increase in cooling that wind can cause is called the wind-chill factor.
4. Temperature differences between the equator and poles produce convection currents.
A movement that is parallel to Earth's Surface is called wind and a local wind is that wind that blows over a short distance.</span>

According to the Octet Rule, an element is most stable with ______________ valence electrons

Len [333]

Eight because an octet has 8 electrons and when it’s full it’s stable. If it’s not full, it’s constantly sharing or borrowing electrons.

The electron dot diagram for an atom of carbon has how many pair(s) of electrons and how many unpaired electrons

krok68 [10]

Answer:

The resultant structure is shown below. This structure contains four shared pairs of electrons, which are located on all four "sides" of carbon's electron dot structure. Each of these shared pairs was created by pairing one of carbon's unpaired electrons with an unpaired electron from chlorine.

The Law of _____states that substances combine in predictable proportions and that excess reactants remain unchanged.

RideAnS [48]

Answer: definite proportions.

Explanation:

1) The definite proportions law states that compounds will always have the same kind of atoms (elements) in the same mass proportion (ratios).

2) For example, a molecule of water will alwys have the same mass ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms. That is what permits to obtain the chemical formula of the water molecule as H₂O.

The mass of the two hydrogen atoms will be in a fixed ratio respect to the mass of the oxygen atoms.

Then, if you have one reactant in less proportion than the other, respect to the ratio stated by the chemical formula of water, the former will react completely (it is the limiting reactant) with the corresponding (proportional) mass of the later. Then there will be an excess of the later reactant which will not react (will remain unchanged).

The reactants can only react in the proportion defined by the chemical formulas of the final products.
