Answer:

A biological membrane can be described as a membrane which encloses a cell. It separates a cell from the outer environment.

The main components of a biological membrane include proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. The carbohydrates either attach to lipids forming glycolipids or they attach to proteins forming glycoproteins.

The structure of a biological membrane constitutes of phosphate heads and tails which are made of fatty acids. The membrane contains a phospholipid bilayer.

One of the emission lines that provides the green color in fireworks, which com s from barium salts, has a wavelength of 505nm.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Explanation:

(a)

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

$c=frequency\times Wavelength
$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Given, Wavelength = 505 nm

Also, 1 m = $10^{-9}$ nm

So,

Wavelength = $505\times 10^{-9}$ m

Thus, Frequency is:

$Frequency=\frac{c}{Wavelength}$

$Frequency=\frac{3\times 10^8}{505\times 10^{-9}}\ Hz$

$Frequency=5.94\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

(b)

Also, $E=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}$

Where,

h is Plank's constant having value $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

So,

$E=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{505\times 10^{-9}}\ J$

$E=\frac{10^{-26}\times \:19.878}{10^{-9}\times \:505}\ J$

$E=3.94\times 10^{-19}\ J$

(c)

Electromagnetic spectrum is range of the frequencies and their respective wavelengths of the various type of the electromagnetic radiation.

In order of the increasing frequency and the photon energy and the decreasing wavelength the spectrum are:

Red , Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet

Increasing wavelength is the opposite trend. Thus, The longest visible wavelength is red and the shortest is violet.

Suppose that 25,0 mL of a gas at 725 mmHg and 298K is converted to

posledela

The new volume : 21.85 ml

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

V1=25,0 ml

P1=725 mmHg

T1=298K is converted to

T2=273'K

P2=760 mmHg atm

Required

Solution

Combined gas law :

$\tt \dfrac{P_1.V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2.V_2}{T_2}$

Input the value :

V2=(P1.V1.T2)/(P2.T1)

V2=(725 x 25 ml x 273)/(760 x 298)

V2=21.85 ml

Calculate the weight of 3.491 into 10 to the power 19 molecules of cl2

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The mass of 3.491 × 10¹⁹ molecules of Cl₂ of Cl₂ is 4.11 × 10⁻³ grams

Explanation:

The number of particles in one mole of a substance id=s given by the Avogadro's number which is approximately 6.023 × 10²³ particles

Therefore, we have;

One mole of Cl₂ gas, which is a compound, contains 6.023 × 10²³ individual molecules of Cl₂

3.491 × 10¹⁹ molecules of Cl₂ is equivalent to (3.491 × 10¹⁹)/(6.023 × 10²³) = 5.796 × 10⁻⁵ moles of Cl₂

The mass of one mole of Cl₂ = 70.906 g/mol

The mass of 5.796 × 10⁻⁵ moles of Cl₂ = 70.906 × 5.796 × 10^(-5) = 4.11 × 10⁻³ grams

Therefore;

The mass of 3.491 × 10¹⁹ molecules of Cl₂ of Cl₂ = 4.11 × 10⁻³ grams.
