Answer:

The correct answer is "more fluid bilayers".

Explanation:

A fatty acid is a biomolecule of lipidic nature formed by a long hydrocarbon chain of different lengths at the end of which there is a carboxyl group.

The wall of the gallbladder consists of three main layers of tissue: The mucosa covers the wall of the gallbladder. The muscular layer of smooth muscle. The serosa, which is the outer layer.

By decreasing the saturation of the fatty acid chains in phospholipids, the bile layers would reduce their thickness and become more fluid.

Have a nice day!

The equilibrium constant Kp for the reaction (CH3),CCI (g) = (CH3),C=CH, (g) + HCl (g) is 3.45 at 500. K. (5.00 x 10K) Calculate

Karolina [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of $K_p$ for the reaction is 6.32 and concentrations of $(CH_3)_2C=CH,HCl\text{ and }(CH_3)_3CCl$ is 0.094 M, 0.094 M and 0.106 M respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Relation of $K_p$ with $K_c$ is given by the formula:

$K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta ng}$

where,

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 3.45

$K_c$ = equilibrium constant in terms of concentration = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature = 500 K

$\Delta n_g$ = change in number of moles of gas particles = $n_{products}-n_{reactants}=2-1=1$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3.45=K_c\times (0.0821\times 500)^{1}\\\\K_c=\frac{3.45}{0.0821\times 500}=0.084$

The equation used to calculate concentration of a solution is:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles}}{\text{Volume (in L)}}$

Initial moles of $(CH_3)_3CCl(g)$ = 1.00 mol

Volume of the flask = 5.00 L

So, $\text{Concentration of }(CH_3)_3CCl=\frac{1.00mol}{5.00L}=0.2M$

For the given chemical reaction:

$(CH_3)_3CCl(g)\rightarrow (CH_3)_2C=CH(g)+HCl(g)$

Initial: 0.2 - -

At Eqllm: 0.2 - x x x

The expression of $K_c$ for above reaction follows:

$K_c=\frac{[(CH_3)_2C=CH]\times [HCl]}{[(CH_3)_3CCl]}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.084=\frac{x\times x}{0.2-x}\\\\x^2+0.084x-0.0168=0\\\\x=0.094,-0.178$

Negative value of 'x' is neglected because initial concentration cannot be more than the given concentration

Calculating the concentration of reactants and products:

$[(CH_3)_2C=CH]=x=0.094M$

$[HCl]=x=0.094M$

$[(CH_3)_3CCl]=(0.2-x)=(0.2-0.094)=0.106M$

Hence, the value of $K_p$ for the reaction is 6.32 and concentrations of $(CH_3)_2C=CH,HCl\text{ and }(CH_3)_3CCl$ is 0.094 M, 0.094 M and 0.106 M respectively.

Suppose two scientists perform the same experiment separately, but their results are very different. What could they do to find

Lynna [10]

They should identify the confounding variable.

Some condition that is not examined by the scientist might alter the experiment result. That condition is called confounding variable. If the method of the experiment same but result is very different, there should be unidentified confounding variable. It could be air humidity, temperature, ventilation, light, time of the year or anything that might not be seen by naked eye.
Try to redo the experiment with controlling variable as much as possible.
