Why do water molecules and the materials dissolved in water move through the plasma membrane slowly ?

1 answer:

4 0

Nonpolar and small polar molecules can pass through the cell membrane, so they diffuse across it in response to concentration gradients. Carbon dioxide and oxygen are two molecules that undergo this simple diffusion through the membrane. The simple diffusion of water is known as osmosis.

Why is an alloy is often more useful than a pure metal

mrs_skeptik [129]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

A pure metal has specific properties. Sometimes we need that metal but with modified properties. So for the modification of properties we make alloys.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

An alloy is a mixture of two elements, one of which is a metal.
Alloys often have properties that are different to the metals they contain.
This makes them more useful than the pure metals alone.
For example, alloys are often harder than the metal they contain.

What is the relationship between producers and consumers in a food chain a producers eat consumers b consumers eat producers c p

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

b consumers eat producers

Explanation:

In a food chain, the consumers are living organisms that eat organisms from a different population. Examples are herbivores like goats.

Producers make their own food in the food chain. Examples are plants.

The relationship between consumer and producers is hence that consumers consume / eat producers. Goats eat grass.

The correct option is;

b consumers eat producers

When sodium carbonate is dissolved in water, the equation is $Na_2CO_3 (s) --- > 2Na^+ (aq) + CO_3^{2-} (aq)$ .

When carbon dioxide is placed in water, aqueous carbon dioxide is formed: $CO_2 (g) --- > CO_2(aq)$

<h3>Dissolution of compounds in water</h3>

Some compounds are water-soluble, some are just partially soluble, while others are insoluble in water. Some soluble or partially soluble substances dissociate in water into their component ions. These substances are said to be ionic.

Sodium carbonate, like every other sodium salt, is soluble in water. It dissolves in water to form an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate.

While in solution, sodium carbonate dissociates into its component ions according to the following equation:

$Na_2CO_3 (s) --- > 2Na^+ (aq) + CO_3^{2-} (aq)$

Carbon dioxide, on the other hand, does not dissociate in water. Instead, it dissolves in water where most of it remains as aqueous carbon dioxide in equilibrium with a small amount of hydronium ion and hydrogen carbonate ion.

Since the hydronium and hydrogen carbonate ions formed are so minute, the equation of the reaction can be written as: $CO_2 (g) --- > CO_2(aq)$
