Answer:

A. The muscle would not contract.

Explanation:

The sarcoplasmic reticulum is a specialized smooth endoplasmic reticulum that transmits electrical impulses and is the primary regulator of calcium storage, release, and reuptake. On the other hand, glycolysis and the mitochondria are responsible for cellular ATP production.

In the muscle, the SR and mitochondrial function are interconnected, ATP is used to lower myoplasmic calcium levels during muscle relaxation, this means that muscle contractility is linked to the control of sarcomeric Ca2+ delivery/removal and ATP generation/utilization.<em> If we have a failure to remove Ca2+ from the cytosol by not producing ATP, the muscle will be prevented from relaxation, subsequently there will be a decrease in muscle contraction too.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

An aqueous solution is 0.467 m in hcl. what is the molality of the solution if the density is 1.23 g/ml?
Reika [66]
Answer:
molarity = 0.385 moles/kg

Explanation:
Assume that the volume of the aqueous solution given is 1 liter = 1000 ml
Now, density can be calculated using the following rule:
density = mass / volume
Therefore:
mass = density * volume = 1.23 * 1000 = 1230 grams
Now, 0.467 m/L * 1L = 0.467 moles of HCl
We will get the mass of the 0.467 moles of HCl as follows:
mass = molar mass * number of moles = (1+35.5)*0.467 = 17.0455 grams
Now, we have the mass of the solution (water + HCl) calculated as 1230 grams and the mass of the HCl calculated as 17.0455 grams. We can use this information to get the mass of water as follows:
mass of water = 1230 - 17.0455 = 1212.9545 grams
Finally, we will get the molarity as follows:
molarity = number of moles of solute / kg of solution
molarity = (0.467) / (1212.9594*10^-3)
molarity = 0.385 mole/kg 

Hope this helps :)

A chemist determines by measurements that 0.0200 moles of chlorine gas participate in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of
Schach [20]

Answer:

1.4200 g

Explanation:

The chlorine gas has a molecular formula Cl2. In table periodic, the molar mass of one atom of chlorine is 35.5 g/mol, so the molar mass of Cl2 is 71 g/mol.

Molar mass, mass and number of moles are related by the equation below:

n = \frac{m}{MM}

Where n is the number of moles, m is the mass, and MM is the molar mass of the compound.

So, for 0.0200 moles of Cl2 produced:

0.0200 = \frac{m}{71}

m = 71x0.0200

m = 1.4200

An unbalanced chemical equation is shown:
ExtremeBDS [4]

There are 2 Ca, 4 H (2*2) and 4 O (2+2) on the left hand side. So there should be the same number of atoms 2Ca and 4(O+H) on the right hand side.  The reaction is a synthesis (making something new), rather than a decomposition (destroying something).


The answer is Two molecules of Ca(OH)2 should be produced during the synthesis reaction.
