Phospholipids, molecules found within a cell membrane, have hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads. These regions act in the sa

me manner that hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids act. When phospholipids are found as a sphere in a glass of water, which of the following would you expect?
a. The hydrophobic tails will point toward the water, and the hydrophilic heads will point away from the water.
b. The hydrophilic heads will point toward the water, and the hydrophobic tails will point away from the water.
c. Hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails will both point toward the water.
d. The hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads will be arranged randomly.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

When a phospholipid is found in a sphere of water, the hydrophilic head is expected to point towards the water while the hydrophobic tail will point away from the water.

The term hydrophilic means water loving, So it is expected that the hydrophilic head will move towards water molecules at it has affinity for water molecules.

The opposite is the case for the hydrophobic tail. The hydrophobic tail moves away from water molecules

What these cases suggest is that both regions are acting base on their chemical make up. While the hydrophilic head contains molecules which are capable of interacting and bonding with water molecules, the hydrophobic tail contains strictly non polar molecules which are not capable of water interaction. Hence the interactions a phospholipid has with water is through its head region

Answer:

  • Question 19: the three are molecular compounds.
  • Question 20: CuSO₄.5H₂O

Explanation:

<em>Question 19.</em>

  • C₂H₄
  • HF
  • H₂O₂

All of them are the combination of two kinds of different atoms in fixed proportions.

  • C₂H₄: two carbon atoms per four hydrogen atoms
  • HF: one hydrogen atom per one fluorine atom
  • H₂O₂: two hydrogen atoms per two oxygent atoms

Thus, they all meet the definition of compund: a pure substance formed by  two or more different elements with a definite composition.

Molecular compounds are formed by covalent bonds and ionic compounds are formed by ionic bonds.

Two non-metal elements, like H-F, C - C, C - H, H-O, H - H, and O - O will share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their valence shell. Thus, the three compounds are molecular and not ionic.

<em>Question 20. </em>Formula of copper(II) sulfate hydrate with 36.0% water.

Copper(II) sulfate is CuSO₄. Its molar mass is 159.609g/mol

Water is H₂O. Its molar mass is 18.015g/mol

Calling x the number of water molecules in the hydrate, the percentage of water is:

       \dfrac{18.015x}{18.015x+159.609}=36\%\\ \\ \\ \dfrac{18.015x}{18.015x+159.609}=0.36

From which we can solve for x:

      18.015x=6.4854x+57.45924\\ \\ 11.5296x=57.45924\\ \\ x\approx4.98\approx5

Thus, there are 5 molecules of water per each unit of CuSO₄, and the formula is:

  • CuSO₄.5H₂O

Ideal He gas expanded at constant pressure of 3 atm until its volume was increased from 9 liters to 15 liters. During this proce
kkurt [141]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

             P = 3 atm

                = 3 atm \times \frac{1.01325 \times 10^{5} Pa}{1 atm}  

                 = 3.03975 \times 10^{5} Pa

    V_{1} = 9 L = 9 \times 10^{-3} m^{3}    (as 1 L = 0.001 m^{3}),  

        V_{2} = 15 L = 15 \times 10^{-3} m^{3}

            Heat energy = 800 J

As relation between work, pressure and change in volume is as follows.

                  W = P \times \Delta V

or,                W = P \times (V_{2} - V_{1})

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                  W = P \times (V_{2} - V_{1})

                      = 3.03975 \times 10^{5} Pa \times (15 \times 10^{-3} m^{3} - 9 \times 10^{-3} m^{3})

                      = 1823.85 Nm

or,                   = 1823.85 J

As internal energy of the gas \Delta E is as follows.

                     \Delta E = Q - W

                                  = 800 J - 1823.85 J

                                  = -1023.85 J

Thus, we can conclude that the internal energy change of the given gas is -1023.85 J.

What is the correct balanced equation for the reaction of sodium with water?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

 A.    2Na       +    2H₂O   →    2NaOH   +  H₂  

Explanation:

When sodium is reacted with water, a single replacement reaction occurs. The product of the reaction is typically sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

Reactants:

        Sodium +  water

Product:

        Sodium hydroxide + hydrogen gas

So;

         2Na       +    2H₂O   →    2NaOH   +  H₂

A sample of a pure compound that weighs 60.3 g contains 20.7 g Sb (antimony) and 39.6 g F (fluorine). What is the percent compos
Volgvan

Answer:

The percent composition of fluorine is 65.67%

Explanation:

Percent Composition is a measure of the amount of mass an element occupies in a compound. It is measured in percentage of mass.

That is, the percentage composition is the percentage by mass of each of the elements present in a compound.

The calculation of the percentage composition of an element is made by:

percent composition element A=\frac{total mass of element A}{mass of compound} *100

In this case, the percent composition of fluorine is:

percent composition of fluorine=\frac{39.6 g}{60.3 g} *100

percent composition of fluorine= 65.67%

<u><em>The percent composition of fluorine is 65.67%</em></u>

A mixture that separates into different layers when you stop stirring it is Select one: a. a solution. b. a suspension. c. a col
leva [86]

Answer: b suspension

a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation . The particles may be

visible to the naked eye, usually must be larger than one micrometer , and will eventually settle, although the mixture is only classified as a suspension when and while the particles have not settled out. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve , but get suspended throughout the bulk of the solvent , left floating around freely in the medium. [1] The internal phase (solid) is dispersed throughout the external phase (fluid) through mechanical agitation , with the use of certain excipients or suspending agents.

An example of a suspension would be sand in water. The suspended particles are visible under a

microscope and will settle over time if left undisturbed. This distinguishes a suspension from a colloid , in which the suspended particles are smaller and do not settle.

Colloids and suspensions are different from

solution , in which the dissolved substance (solute) does not exist as a solid, and solvent and solute are homogeneously mixed.
