ella [17]

Answer: The compound in medicines should be non polar.  

It is important for any drug to be able to dissolve itself through the cell membrane which consists of a lipid bi-layer, in order to diffuse in the body and circulate biologically, performing its function.

Non polar compounds are lipid soluble and therefore can dissolve in the lipid layers.

Polar compounds are water soluble and fail to cross the cell membrane.

Therefore scientists need to be sure of using compounds that are non polar in nature so they pass through the cell membrane and enter into the blood circulation of the body and perform its due function.

1. Provide a definition of an Arrhenius acid and an Arrhenius base. What has science determined to be the limitations of these d
lara [203]

Answer:

See Explanation ( = same answer for earlier question)

Explanation:

The Arrhenius acid-base theory defines an acid as a compound which when added into water increases the hydronium ion (H₃O⁺) concentration and the base as a compound which when added into water increases the hydroxide (OH⁻) ion concentration. As such, an acid-base reaction is limited to proton transfer to only OH⁻ ions forming water. Such would imply that all acid-base reactions produce water only in addition to a salt. This is not always the case as conjugate base anions for many substances can receive proton transfer.

Example: The reaction HOAc + NaCN => HCN + OAc-  will occur in aqueous media because the proton (H⁺) on acetic acid (HOAc) will transfer to the cyanate ion forming hydrocyanic acid (HCN). Such occurs because the CN⁻ ion is a stronger conjugate base than the acetate ion (OAc⁻) and forms the more stable weak acid.  Such is the basis of the Bronsted-Lowry Acid-Base system and states that an acid (proton donor) will transfer its ionizable hydrogen to a conjugate base (proton acceptor) if the transfer forms a weaker acid.

Magnesium metal burns in air to form a mixture of magnesium oxide (MgO, M = 40.31) and magnesium nitride (Mg3N2, M = 100.95). A
dedylja [7]

Answer:

26.95 %

Explanation:

Air contains the highest percentage of oxygen and nitrogen gases. Magnesium then combines with both of the gases:

2 Mg (s) + O_2 (g)\rightarrow 2 MgO (s)

3 Mg (s) + N_2 (g)\rightarrow Mg_3N_2 (s)

Firstly, find the total number of moles of magnesium metal:

n_{Mg} = \frac{1.000 g}{24.305 g/mol} = 0.041144 mol

Let's say that x mol react in the first reaction and y mol react in the second reaction. This means:

x + y = 0.041144 mol

According to stoichiometry, we form:

n_{MgO} = x mol, n_{Mg_3N_2} = \frac{y}{3} mol

Multiplying moles by the molar mass of each substance will yield mass. This means we form a total of:

m_{MgO} = 40.31x g, m_{Mg_3N_2} = \frac{y}{3} 100.95 g =

The total mass is given, so we have our second equation to solve:

40.31x + 33.65y = 1.584

We have two unknowns and two equations, we may then solve:

x + y = 0.041144

40.31x + 33.65y = 1.584

Express y from the first equation:

y = 0.041144 - x

Substitute into the second equation:

40.31x + 33.65(0.04144 - x) = 1.584

40.31x + 1.39446 - 33.65x = 1.584

6.66x = 0.18954

x = 0.028459

y = 0.041144 - x = 0.012685

Moles of nitride formed:

n_{Mg_3N_2} = \frac{y}{3} = 0.0042282 mol

Convert this to mass:

m_{Mg_3N_2} = 0.0042282 mol\cdot 100.95 g/mol = 0.4268 g

Find the percentage:

\omega_{Mg_3N_2} = \frac{0.4268 g}{1.584 g}\cdot 100\% = 26.95 \%
