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.

If you were to conduct an experiment to answer the question, "Does the volume of a caffeinated drink affect your reaction time?”
Ann [662]

Answer:

A Type of Drink

Explanation:

A controlled variable remains constant throughout the experiment.

In such experiment, you'd test the volume of one single caffeinated drink. You'd have to use the same type of drink every trial.

Which statement best relates the strength and concentration of a base? At high enough concentrations, a weak base becomes strong
Lorico [155]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there are more number of hydroxide ions in a solution then there will be high concentration of OH^{-} or hydroxide ions. As a result, more will be the strength of base in that particular solution.

A base is strong when it readily dissociate into its ions in the solution. When a base is strong, then it does not matter at what concentration it is dissolved in the solution because despite of its low concentration it will remain a strong base.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, the statement even at low concentrations, a strong base is strong best relates the strength and concentration of a base.

A student has a 2.19 L bottle that contains a mixture of O 2 , N 2 , and CO 2 with a total pressure of 5.57 bar at 298 K . She k
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

<u>Answer:</u> The partial pressure of oxygen gas is 2.76 bar

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 5.57 bar

V = Volume of the gas = 2.19 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 298 K

R = Gas constant = 0.0831\text{ L bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = Total number of moles = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5.57bar\times 2.19L=n\times 0.0831\text{ L. bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{5.57\times 2.19}{0.0831\times 298}=0.493mol

To calculate the mole fraction of carbon dioxide, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

p_{A}=p_T\times \chi_{A}         ........(1)

where,

p_A = partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 0.318 bar

p_T = total pressure = 5.57 bar

\chi_A = mole fraction of carbon dioxide = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.318bar=5.57bar\times \chi_{CO_2}\\\\\chi_{CO_2}=\frac{0.381}{5.57}=0.0571

  • Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}

We are given:

Moles of nitrogen gas = 0.221 moles

Mole fraction of nitrogen gas, \chi_{N_2}=\frac{0.221}{0.493}=0.448

Calculating the partial pressure of oxygen gas by using equation 1, we get:

Mole fraction of oxygen gas = (1 - 0.0571 - 0.448) = 0.4949

Total pressure of the system = 5.57 bar

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

p_{O_2}=5.57bar\times 0.4949\\\\p_{O_2}=2.76bar

Hence, the partial pressure of oxygen gas is 2.76 bar

When methyloxirane is treated with HBr, the bromide ion attacks the less substituted position. However, when phenyloxirane is tr
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

See explanation and picture below

Explanation:

First, in the case of methyloxirane (Also known as propilene oxide) the mechanism that is taking place there is something similar to a Sn2 mechanism. Although a Sn2 mechanism is a bimolecular substitution taking place in only step, the mechanism followed here is pretty similar after the first step.

In both cases, the H atom of the HBr goes to the oxygen in the molecule. You'll have a OH⁺ in both. However, in the case of methyloxirane the next step is a Sn2 mechanism step, the bromide ion will go to the less substitued carbon, because the methyl group is exerting a steric hindrance. Not a big one but it has a little effect there, that's why the bromide will rather go to the carbon with more hydrogens. and the final product is formed.

In the case of phenyloxirane, once the OH⁺ is formed, the next step is a Sn1 mechanism. In this case, the bond C - OH⁺ is opened on the side of the phenyl to stabilize the OH. This is because that carbon is more stable than the carbon with no phenyl. (A 3° carbon is more stable than a 2° carbon). Therefore, when this bond opens, the bromide will go there in the next step, and the final product is formed. See picture below for mechanism and products.

The sun’s core is made of solid rock. True or false
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Heres what its made of:

The core is made of hot, dense plasma (ions and electrons), at a pressure estimated at 265 billion bar (3.84 trillion psi or 26.5 petapascals (PPa)) at the center. Due to fusion, the composition of the solar plasma drops from 68–70% hydrogen by mass at the outer core, to 34% hydrogen at the core/Sun center.
