Answer:

Sodium potassium pump works by following several steps. 

Explanation:

1. Carrier protein binds three molecules of Na+ 

2. ATP is split, phosphate bonds to carrier. 

3. Carrier protein changes shape, and deposits Na on the outside of the cell. 

4. Carrier binds two molecules of K 

5. Phosphate is released. 

6. Potassium is released inside the cell 

Sodium -potassium pump is essential to maintain the concentration of sodium and potassium outside and inside the cell respectively.

It is the function of sodium potassium pump to transport sodium out of the cell and potassium inside of the cell against a concentration gradient.

Thus it is an active transport mechanism.

In your oxidation experiment, we are using hypochlorite as the oxidizing agent, why?.

Irina18 [472]

They are good bleaching agents and disinfectants due to their oxidizing potency. Hypochlorites can be employed in organic chemistry to oxidize primary alcohols into carboxylic acids.

<h3>What function does hypochlorite serve as an oxidizer?</h3>

In this experiment, we utilize the test paper to make sure that the reaction has received more bleach than is necessary to completely oxidize the alcohol.
Since the process moves forward more quickly in an acidic environment, hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is assumed to be the real oxidizing agent (although this is not confirmed).
Bleach, also known as sodium hypochlorite, is most usually used as a disinfectant. It is a multipurpose disinfectant that kills mycobacterium, bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms.
