Use the following scenario to answer the question: A cell has an antiport protein on its apical surface. The cell is placed in a

solution that contains a high concentration of Na+ relative to the inside of the cell, and a high concentration of Ca⁺⁺ relative to the inside of the cell. The antiporter will move 3 Na⁺ into the cell in exchange for one Ca⁺⁺ leaving the cell. This is an example of what type of transport?

Answer:

The correct answer is "Secondary active transport".

Explanation:

Secondary active transport is a form of across the membrane transport that involves a transporter protein catalyzing the movement of an ion down its electrochemical gradient to allow the movement of another molecule or ion uphill to its concentration/electrochemical gradient. In this example, the transporter protein (antiporter), move 3 Na⁺ into the cell in exchange for one Ca⁺⁺ leaving the cell. The 3 Na⁺ are the ions moved down its electrochemical gradient and the one Ca⁺⁺ is the ion moved uphill its electrochemical gradient, because Na+ and Ca⁺⁺are more concentrated in the solution than inside the cell. Therefore, this scenario is an example of secondary active transport.

Which pair has identical electron configurations?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Identical electron configurations : K⁺ and Cl⁻

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

In an atom, there are levels of energy in the shell and sub-shell  

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.  

Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:  

<em>1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.  </em>

  • S²⁻ and CI

S²⁻ : [Ne] 3s²3p⁶

Cl : [Ne] 3s²3p⁵

  • K⁺ and CI⁻

K⁺ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

Cl⁻ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶

  • S and Ar

S :[Ne] 3s²3p⁴

Ar : [Ne] 3s²3p⁶

  • Cl⁻ and K

Cl⁻ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶

K : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶4s¹

Ripening is a _______________ and spoiling is a ______________.
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The answer to this question is A. Both ripening and spoiling are chemical reactions.

Spoiling is a chemical reaction because spoiled food has bad smell and taste and it changes colour too.

Ripening of fruits is a chemical change. For example the colour could change as well as the texture.

Will give lots of points if answered correctly. Determine the kb for chloroform when 0.793 moles of solute in 0.758 kg changes t
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: The value of K_{b} for chloroform is 3.62^{o}C/m when 0.793 moles of solute in 0.758 kg changes the boiling point by 3.80 °C.

Explanation:

Given: Moles of solute = 0.793 mol

Mass of solvent = 0.758

\Delta T_{b} = 3.80^{o}C

As molality is the number of moles of solute present in kg of solvent. Hence, molality of given solution is calculated as follows.

Molality = \frac{no. of moles}{mass of solvent (in kg)}\\= \frac{0.793 mol}{0.758 kg}\\= 1.05 m

Now, the values of K_b is calculated as follows.

\Delta T_{b} = i\times K_{b} \times m

where,

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for chloroform)

m = molality

K_{b} = molal boiling point elevation constant

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

\Delta T_{b} = i\times K_{b} \times m\\3.80^{o}C = 1 \times K_{b} \times 1.05 m\\K_{b} = 3.62^{o}C/m

Thus, we can conclude that the value of K_{b} for chloroform is 3.62^{o}C/m when 0.793 moles of solute in 0.758 kg changes the boiling point by 3.80 °C.
