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.

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Explanation:

A substance that produces an excess of hydroxide ion (-OH) in aqueous solution.

       This is an arrhenius Base

According to the arrhenius theory, a base is a substance that combines with water to produce excess hydroxide ions, OH⁻ in an aqeous solution. Examples are :

  • Sodium hydroxide NaOH
  • Potassium hydroxide KOH

A substance that produces an excess of hydrogen ion (H+) in aqueous solution

      This is an arrhenius Acid

An arrhenius acid is a substance that reacts with water to produce excess hydrogen ions in aqueous solutions.

Examples are;

  • Hydrochloric acid HCl
  • Hydroiodic acid HI
  • Hydrobromic acid HBr

Assuming acid strength relates directly to number of O atoms bonded to the central atom, rank H₂N₂O₂ [or (HON)₂]; HNO₃ (or HONO₂
Elenna [48]

For Less number of oxygen atoms will be less acidic. Therefore, the rank will be.... So there is 1 oxygen atom bonded to each of the 2 nitrogen atoms.

For HNO3 or {HONO}2. So there are 3 oxygen atoms bonded to the nitrogen.

For HNO2 or HONO. So there are 2 oxygen atoms bonded to the nitrogen.

Less number of oxygen atoms will be less acidic. Therefore, the rank will be...

HNO3>HNO2>H2N2O2

Acid strength is the tendency of an acid, symbolized by the chemical formula, to dissociate into a proton, and an anion, The dissociation of a strong acid in solution is effectively complete, except in its most concentrated solutions.

The strength of a weak organic acid may depend on substituent effects. The strength of an inorganic acid depends on the atom’s oxidation state to which the proton may be attached. Acid strength is solvent-dependent. For example, hydrogen chloride is a strong acid in an aqueous solution but is a weak acid when dissolved in glacial acetic acid.

What is the relationship of inertia ang mass? Give one situation to show their relationship
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The mass of a body is a measure of its inertia. It means larger the mass of a body, larger will be the inertia offered by the body to change its state of motion.

Example

When we kick a football, it flies a long way but at the same time if we kick a stone of the same size, it hardly moves, as the stone resists a change in its motion better than the football because of its more mass
