Answer:
1. K<10−3
Explanation:
Equilibrium Constant is an expression which involves the concentration of the product divided by the concentration of the reactant molecules.
However the concentration of the pure liquid and pure solid is regarded as 1.
Equilibrium expression for the equation 2H2(g)+O2(g)⇌2H2O(g)
Equilibrium Constant = [H2O]^2/[H2]^2 x [O2]
Since H2O is a pure liquid, its concentration = 1
There fore;
Equilibrium Constant = 1/[H2]^2 x [O2]
This shows that the Equilibrium Constant of the equation will be less than 1 and greater than 0.
Answer:
In chemistry, "concentrated" refers to a relatively large quantity of substance present in a unit amount of a mixture. Usually, this means there is a lot of a solute dissolved in a given solvent. A concentrated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved.

Answer:
a. Remaining at rest requires the use of ATP.
Explanation:
The resting membrane potential is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump. The sodium potassium pump does this by actively pumping sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions inside the cell in a ratio of 3:2. This movement of ions by the sodium-potassium pump is against their concentration gradient. In a neuron at rest, there are more sodium ions outside the cell than there are inside the cell. Also, there are are more potassium ions inside the cell than there are outside the cell. However, there are ion channels through which these ions enter and leave the cell. Sodium ion channels allow sodium to enter the cell following its concentration gradient, whereas, potassium ion channels allow potassium to leave the cell following its concentration gradient. However, more potassium ions leave the cell than do sodium ions enter the cell because of the higher permeability of the cell to potassium ions.
In order to maintain the resting membrane potential, the sodium potassium pump powered by the hydrolysis of an ATP molecules pumps sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell.
<em>Therefore, the correct option is A, as ATP is needed by the sodium-potassium pump in order to maintain the resting membrane potential.</em>
