The na+/k+ pump removes na+ ions and adds _ k+ ions.

1 answer:

3 0

Sodium potassium pump is an active pump which transfer sodium and potassium ions across the membrane with the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP.

This kind of pump is generally used in nerve cells.

The pump works against the concentration gradient as the pump moves three Na+ ions outside the cell and two K+ ions inside the cell, though there is a high concentration of Na+ outside the cell and a low concentration of K+ outside the cell.

Consider the reaction Mg₂Si(s) + 4 H₂O(ℓ) → 2 Mg(OH)₂(aq) + SiH₄(g). How many grams of silane gas (SiH₄) are formed if 25.0 g of

Neko [114]

Answer:

10.60 grams of silane gas are formed.

Explanation:

From the reaction:

Mg₂Si(s) + 4H₂O(l) → 2Mg(OH)₂(aq) + SiH₄(g)

We know that the limiting reactant is Mg₂Si, so to find the mass of SiH₄ formed we need to calculate the number of moles of Mg₂Si:

$\eta_{Mg_{2}Si} = \frac{m_{Mg_{2}Si}}{M_{Mg_{2}Si}}$

Where:

m: is the mass of Mg₂Si = 25.0 g

M: is the molar mass of Mg₂Si = 76.69 g/mol

$\eta_{Mg_{2}Si} = \frac{m_{Mg_{2}Si}}{M_{Mg_{2}Si}} = \frac{25.0 g}{76.69 g/mol} = 0.33 moles$

Now, the stoichiometric relation between Mg₂Si and SiH₄ is 1:1 so:

$\eta_{Mg_{2}Si} = \eta_{SiH_{4}} = 0.33 moles$

Finally, the mass of SiH₄ is:

$m_{SiH_{4}} = \eta_{SiH_{4}}*M_{SiH_{4}} = 0.33 moles*32.12 g/mol = 10.60 g$

Therefore, 10.60 grams of silane gas are formed.

I hope it helps you!

Determine the concentration of sulfuric acid that needed 47 mL of 0.39M potassium hydroxide solution to neutralize a 25 mL sampl

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

0.37M

Explanation:

Since sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄, is a diprotic acid and potassum hydroxide, KOH, contains one OH⁻ in the formula, the number of moles of potassium hydroxide must be twice the number of moles of sulfuric acid.

1. Determine the number of moles of KOH in 47mL of 0.39M potassium hydroxide solution

number of moles = molarity × volume in liters

number of moles = 0.39M × 47mL × 1liter/1,000 mL = 0.1833mol

2. Determine the number of moles of sulfuric acid needed

number of moles of H₂SO₄ = number of moles of KOH/2 = 0.1833/2 = 0.009165mol

3. Determine the concentration that contains 0.009165 mol in 25mL of the acid.

Molarity = number of moles / volume in liters

M = 0.009165mol/(25mL) × (1,000mL/liter) = 0.3666M

Round to two significant figures: 0.37M

A distillation column with a partial reboiler and a total condenser is being used to separate a mixture of benzene, toluene, and

Answer:

11.8.4 Distillation Columns

Distillation columns present a hazard in that they contain large inventories of flammable boiling liquid, usually under pressure. There are a number of situations which may lead to loss of containment of this liquid.

The conditions of operation of the equipment associated with the distillation column, particularly the reboiler and bottoms pump, are severe, so that failure is more probable.

The reduction of hazard in distillation columns by the limitation of inventory has been discussed above. A distillation column has a large input of heat at the reboiler and a large output at the condenser. If cooling at the condenser is lost, the column may suffer overpressure. It is necessary to protect against this by higher pressure design, relief valves, or HIPS. On the other hand, loss of steam at the reboiler can cause underpressure in the column. On columns operating at or near atmospheric pressure, full vacuum design, vacuum breakers, or inert gas injection is needed for protection. Deposition of flammable materials on packing surfaces has led to many fires on opening of distillation column for maintenance.

Another hazard is overpressure due to heat radiation from fire. Again pressure relief devices are required to provide protection.

The protection of distillation columns is one of the topics treated in detail in codes for pressure relief such as APIRP 521. Likewise, it is one of the principal applications of trip systems.

Another quite different hazard in a distillation column is the ingress of water. The rapid expansion of the water as it flashes to steam can create very damaging overpressures.
