Aspirin is a weak acid with a pka of 3.5. it is absorbed into the blood through the cells lining the stomach and the small intes

tine. absorption requires passage through the plasma membrane, the rate of which is determined by the polarity of the molecule: charged and highly polar molecules pass slowly, whereas neutral hydrophobic ones pass rapidly. the ph of the stomach contents is about 1.5, and the ph of the contents of the small intestine is about 6. is more aspirin absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach or from the small intestine? clearly justify your choice. can you identify and describe other molecules whose absorption in the stomach is ph dependent?

Aspirin is a weak acid with a Pka of 3.5. With this Pka of 3.5, it is in a neutral or what is known as protonated  form at a pH below 2.5. At higher levels of pH, it becomes increasingly protonated or anionic, therefore, it is better absorbed in more acidic environment of the stomach. This is because absorption requires passage through the plasma membrane, the rate which  is determined by the polarity of the molecule. Charged and highly polar molecules pass, slowly, while the neutral hydrophobic ones pass rapidly.

Mark all that apply. The action and reaction forces referred to in Newton's third law: are opposite in direction act upon differ
PSYCHO15rus [73]

The action and reaction forces referred to in Newton's third law are <u>opposite in direction and act upon different objects.</u>

In science, more specifically in the science classical mechanics, Newton's laws are principles that show the forces that act upon objects in motion. The first law speaks of momentum, the second of acceleration, and the third law states that for every action, there is an<u> equal and yet opposite </u>reaction.

Newton's third law may be confusing at first glance, but what it means is that the action and reaction forces are opposite in direction and act upon different objects, meaning that when one object applies force to another, the second will in-turn apply the same force back, whichever object is most resistant to these forces will be the one that moves the other.

can someone explain the following and give examples: protons nuetrons and electrons there charges etc.(for 30 points)​
alexdok [17]

Explanation:

Protons are positively charged sub-atomic particles that are in the nucleus of an atom and have a relative mass of 1. Neutrons have a neutral charge, meaning they have no charge, and are also in the nucleus of an atom with a relative mass of 1.Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus in electron clouds. They are said to have a relative mass of 0.

For example, a sodium atom is number 11 on the periodic table. The atomic number of sodium tells us the no. of protons contained within its nucleus as well as the number of electrons orbiting. So we can say that sodiun has 11 electrons and 11 protons. To determine the number of neutrons, simply subtract the number of protons from the mass number( found on periodic table)

23-11=12 neutrons
