Answer:

Contributes to the membrane potential.

Explanation:

Sodium-potassium pump: In cellular physiology, a protein which is identified in many cells that helping in to maintain the higher concentration of potassium ions inside than that is in the surrounding medium and maintain the lower concentration of sodium ions inside than that of the surrounding medium.

This unbalanced charge transfer contributes in the separation of charge across the cell membrane. Sodium-potassium pump is known for important contributor to action potential which is produce by nerve cells.

Calculate the percent ionization of nitrous acid in a solution that is 0.230 M in nitrous acid. The acid dissociation constant o
djyliett [7]
Ok first, we have to create a balanced equation for the dissolution of nitrous acid.

HNO2 <-> H(+) + NO2(-)

Next, create an ICE table

           HNO2   <-->  H+        NO2-
[]i        0.230M          0M       0M
Δ[]      -x                   +x         +x
[]f        0.230-x          x           x

Then, using the concentration equation, you get

4.5x10^-4 = [H+][NO2-]/[HNO2]

4.5x10^-4 = x*x / .230 - x

However, because the Ka value for nitrous acid is lower than 10^-3, we can assume the amount it dissociates is negligable, 

assume 0.230-x ≈ 0.230

4.5x10^-4 = x^2/0.230

Then, we solve for x by first multiplying both sides by 0.230 and then taking the square root of both sides.

We get the final concentrations of [H+] and [NO2-] to be x, which equals 0.01M.

Then to find percent dissociation, you do final concentration/initial concentration.

0.01M/0.230M = .0434 or 

≈4.34% dissociation.

The way I found this doesn't have much thought or explanation--I just remember that helium and hydrogen are in period 1. The only answer choice with "period 1" is A.

30 pts! Sodium and water react according to the following equation. If 31.5g of sodium are added to excess water, how many liter
mihalych1998 [28]
First, calculate the number of moles of sodium present with the given mass,

              31.5 g of sodium x (1 mol sodium/ 23 g sodium) = 1.37 mol sodium

It is given in the equation that for every 2mols of sodium, one mol of H2 is produced.

           mols of H2 = (1.37 mols sodium)(1 mol H2/ 2 mols sodium)
                  mols of H2 = 0.685 mols H2

Then, at STP, 1 mol of gas = 22.4 L.
                
                 volume of H2 = (0.685 mols H2)(22.4 L / 1 mol)
                     volume of H2 = 15.34 L

Answer: 15.34 L
