Answer: The correct answer is option E

Explanation:

Sodium/potassium pump is a mechanism that involves the movement of sodium ions (Na+) out of a cell and potassium ions (K+) into a cell, thereby regulating concentration of ions on both sides of a typical cell membrane.

In this situation, the sodium-potassium pump is usually helps in the establishment of the resting potential. The potassium voltage channels normally closes before the membrane potential is brought to a resting level.

In summary, sodium/potassium pump helps to maintain a balance in the system.

iogann1982 [59]

The structure of Dimethyl sulfide is H3C-S-CH3. It is produced naturally by some marine algae.

<u>Explanation:</u>

DMS or dimethyl sulfide is formed by using two methyl groups combined with one sulfur atom. It is an organosulphur compound with a structural formula H3C-S-CH3.
Most abundant biological sulfur compounds emitted to air and oceans by phytoplankton.
DMS is produced naturally by the waste of dimethyl sulphoxide which is disposed into the sewer causing environmental odor problems.
It is a flammable liquid that boils at 37 degrees celsius and a disagreeable smell produced from the cooking of certain vegetables also indicates bacterial contamination in the production of malt and brewing.

A balloon contains 0.140 molmol of gas and has a volume of 2.78 LL . If an additional 0.152 molmol of gas is added to the balloo

levacccp [35]

Answer:

The final volume will be 5.80 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles gas = 0.140 moles

Volume of gas = 2.78 L

Number of moles added = 0.152 moles

Step 2: Calculate the final volume

V1/n1 = V2/n2

⇒ with V1 = the initial volume = 2.78 L

⇒ with n1 = the initial number of moles = 0.140 moles

⇒ with V2 = The new volume = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with n2 = the new number of moles = 0.140 + 0.152 = 0.292 moles

2.78/0.140 = V2 /0.292

V2 = 5.80 L

The final volume will be 5.80 L
