Why does water account for about 70% of the weight of a cell?

Chemistry
1 answer:
igomit [66]4 years ago
6 0
Water accounts for about 70% if the weight of a  cell because it is the most abundant compound in a cell. The important property that enables this is the polarity of water. Since it is a polar molecule, it could easily bind to other molecules in a cell.

A researcher wants to test the solubility (property of being dissolved) of salt in water as the temperature of the water increas
Leya [2.2K]
The researcher may first weight the beaker with water and then start to heat the water to a constant temperature, for example 30 °C and then start adding salt and stirring. He should add salt slowly until solid salt starts to become visible and the solution starts becoming cloudy. When this happens, he should quickly weigh the beaker. The increase in mass is the mass of salt dissolved at that temperature.
The procedure is then repeated but at an increased temperature until 5-6 temperatures have been tested.

If oxygen is removed from a sample of air as iron rust, what happens to the particle pressure of oxygen in the air?
klasskru [66]

Answer : It increases

Rusting is where oxygen binds to iron and forms iron oxide.

So once iron rusts, there is oxygen, just not in air; it's in the iron oxide.


All reactions are reversible, albeit at different rates (the "irreversible" ones are still reversible, but much slower given that they take so much collision luck and energy.

Which gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal.
Digiron [165]

Hydrogen gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal.

Balanced molecular equation of sodim metal with hydrochloric acid:

2Na(s) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H₂(g).

Ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) → 2Na⁺ + 2Cl⁻(aq) + H₂(g).

Net ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) → 2Na⁺(aq) + H₂(g).

Sodium is oxidized from oxidation number 0 (Na) to oxidation number +1, hydrogen is reduced from oxidation number +1 to oxidation number 0 (hydrogen gas H₂).

Another example:

Balanced chemical equation: Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

Word equation: zinc + hydrochloric acid → zinc chloride + hydrogen gas
