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.

Calculate the electrical energy per gram of anode material for the following reaction at 298 K:
antiseptic1488 [7]

The answer is:

E per gram = 0.45 V

The explanation:

when MnO2 is the substance who oxidized here so, the oxidizing agent and the anode here is Li.

and when the molar mass of Li is = 7 g/mol

and in our reaction equation we have 1 mole of Li will give 3.15 V of the electrical energy

that means that :

7 g of Li gives → 3.15 V

So 1 g of Li will give→ ???

∴ The E per gram = 3.15 V / 7 g of Li

= 0.45 V

The human body has four types of tissues, and the eye contains all four. Which statement correctly pairs the part of the eye
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) Nerve tissue is found in the retina, the rods and cones at the back of the eye.

Explanation:

The rods and cones are photoreceptors (that is nerve cells within the eyes that can sense light) which is situated in the retina.

These photoreceptors also sense colours and send these signals into the optic nerve for transmission to the brain.

Calculate the concentration of all ions present in each of the following solutions of strong electrolytes. a. 0.100 mole of Ca(N
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

[Ca²⁺] = 1M

[NO₃⁻] = 2M

Explanation:

Calcium nitrate dissociates in water as follows:

Ca(NO₃)₂ ⇒ Ca²⁺ + 2NO₃⁻

The moles of Ca²⁺ can be found using the molar relationship between Ca(NO₃)₂ and Ca²⁺

(0.100mol Ca(NO₃)₂) (Ca²⁺ /Ca(NO₃)₂) = 0.100 mol Ca²⁺

The concentration of Ca²⁺  is then:

[Ca²⁺] = n/V = (0.100mol)/(100.0mL) x (1000ml)/(1L) = 1M

Similarly, moles of NO₃⁻ can be found using the molar relationship between Ca(NO₃)₂ and NO₃⁻:

(0.100mol Ca(NO₃)₂) (2NO₃⁻/Ca(NO₃)₂) = 0.200 mol NO₃⁻

The concentration of NO₃⁻ is then:

[NO₃⁻] = (0.200mol)/(100.0mL) x (1000ml)/(1L) = 2M
