Below is a list of molecules with different chemical characteristics. Knowing that all molecules will eventually diffuse across

a phospholipid bilayer, select the option below that most accurately predicts the relative rates of diffusion of these molecules (fastest to slowest).
a. estrogen > propanol > sodium > alanine
b. alanine > propanol > sodium > estrogen
c. estrogen > propanol > alanine > sodium
d. sodium > propanol > alanine > estrogen

Answer:

c. estrogen > propanol > alanine > sodium

Explanation:

The phospholipid bilayer is formed by amphoteric lipids, the nonpolar region is inside the bilayer, so the diffusion of nonpolar molecules are easy (nonpolar reacts with nonpolar) and generally occurs passively (without loss of energy). With the increase of the polarity, the diffusion became difficult and slow. All the molecules are shown below.

Estrogen has two points of polarity in its hydroxides, but the carbon rings stabilize the molecule, and it has low polarity. Then, propanol has only one hydroxide and is the second-lowest polar molecular. Alanine has two points of polarity because oxygen and nitrogen have high electronegativities. Then, the ion sodium has a charge and has no stabilization such as the molecules, so it is the most difficult to diffuse.

When aluminum is placed in concentrated hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas is produced. 2 Al ( s ) + 6 HCl ( aq ) ⟶ 2 AlCl 3 ( aq )
Dovator [93]

Answer:

The volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP is 4.90 liters.

Explanation:

2Al (s) + 6 HCl (aq)\rightarrow 2 AlCl_3 (aq) + 3 H_2 (g)

Moles of aluminium =\frac{3.60 g}{27 g/mol}=0.1333 mol

According to reaction , 2 moles of aluminium gives 3 moles of hydrogen gas.

Then 0.1333 moles of aluminium will give:

\frac{3}{2}\times 0.1333 mol=0.2 moles of hydrogen gas

Volume of 0.2 moles of hydrogen gas at STP = V

Temperature at STP = T = 298.15 K

Pressure at STP = P = 1 atm

n = 0.2 mol

PV = nRT (Ideal gas equation)

V=\frac{nRT}{P}=\frac{0.2mol\times 0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 298.15 K}{1 atm}=4.8956 L\approx 4.90 L

The volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP is 4.90 liters.
