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.

The sun sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer is the mass of the atom. Protons + neutrons= mass
Let's say you have oxygen with a mass of 16.
Oxygen has 8 protons
To find neutrons subtract 16-8= 8
So it would also be 8 neutrons.
Example of how to find mass if you know protons + neutrons:
Sodium has 11 protons and 12 neutrons. Add the protons and neutrons
11 + 12= 23
Mass is 23

Consider a bent molecule, such as H2Se, in which the central atom has two lone pairs of electrons. The electronegativities of H

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Based on these values and on consideration of molecular geometry, the H-Se bond can be considered almost _____non-polar___ and the molecule is __polar_____.

Explanation:

Looking at the difference in electro negativity of the two elements; hydrogen and selenium, one may be led to the conclusion that the molecule is nonpolar since the magnitude of electronegative between the two bonding atoms is minimal.

However, electro negativity difference alone is insufficient to determine the polarity of a molecule. The structure of the molecule is also considered. Based on the structure of the molecule, it is expected to have a dipole moment. Hence the molecule is polar.

If more solute can be dissolved in a solvent, the solution is

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

the answer is unsaturated

Explanation:

A saturated solution contains more solute per volume of solvent than an unsaturated solution. The solute has dissolved until no more can, leaving undissolved matter in the solution. ... In a supersaturated solution, there is more dissolved solute than in a saturated solution.

A dark brown binary compound contains oxygen and a metal. It is 13.38% oxygen by mass. Heating it moderately drives off some of

Leto [7]

Answer:

a) Mass of O in compound A = 32.72 g

Mass of O in compound B = 21.26 g

Mass of O in compound C = 15.94 g

b) Compound A = MO2

Compound B = M3O4

Compound C = MO

c) M = Pb

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A binairy compound contains oxygen (O) and metal (M)

⇒ 13.38 % O

⇒ 100 - 13.38 = 86.62 % M

After heating we get another binairy compound

⇒ 9.334 % O

⇒ 100 - 9.334 = 90.666 % M

After heating we get another binairy compound

⇒ 7.168 % O

⇒ 100 - 7.168 = 92.832 % M

The first compound has an empirical formula of MO2

⇒ 1 mol M for 2 moles O

Step 2: Calculate amount of metal and oxygen in each

compound A: M = m1 *0.8662 O = m1 *0.1338

compound B: M = m2 *0.90666 O = m2 *0.09334

compound C: M = m3 *0.92832 O = m3 *0.07168

Step 3: Calculate mass of oxygen with 1.000 grams of M

Compound A: 1.000g * 0.1338 m1gO / 0.8662m1gMetal = 0.1545

Compound B: 1.000g * 0.09334 m2gO / 0.90666m2gMetal = 0.1029

Compound C: 1.000g * 0.07168 m3gO / 0.92832m3gMetal = 0.07721

Step 4:

1 mol MO2 has 1 mol M and 2 moles O

m1 = (mol O * 16)/0.1338 m1 = 239.2 grams

1 mol M = 0.8632*239.2 = 206.48

0.90666m2 = 206.48 ⇒ m2 = 227.74 g

0.92832m3 = 206.48 ⇒ m3 = 222.42 g

Step 5: Calculate mass of O

Mass of O in compound A = 239.2 - 206.48 = 32.72 g

Mass of O in compound B = 227.74 - 206.48 = 21.26 g

Mass of O in compound C = 222.42- 206.48 = 15.94 g

Step 6: Calculate moles

Moles of O in compound A ≈ 2

⇒ MO2

Moles of O in compound B = 21.26 / 16 ≈ 1.33

⇒ M3O4

Moles of O compound C = 15.94 /16 ≈ 1 moles

⇒ MO

Step 7: Calculate molar mass

The mass of 1 mol metal is 206.48 grams ⇒ molar mass ≈ 206.48 g/mol

The closest metal to this molar mass is lead (Pb)
