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.

How many grams of ammonia (NH3) can be produced by the synthesis of excess hydrogen gas (H2) and 253.8 grams of nitrogen gas (N2
kogti [31]

Answer:

308.2 g of NH₃.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

3H₂ + N₂ —> 2NH₃

Next, we shall determine the mass of N₂ that reacted and the mass of NH₃ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of N₂ = 2 × 14 = 28 g/mol

Mass of N₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 28 = 28 g

Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + (3×1)

= 14 + 3 = 17 g/mol

Mass of NH₃ from the balanced equation = 2 × 17 = 34 g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

28 g of N₂ reacted to produce 34 g of NH₃.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of NH₃ produced by the reaction of 253.8 g of N₂. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

28 g of N₂ reacted to produce 34 g of NH₃.

Therefore, 253.8 g of N₂ will react to produce = (253.8 × 34)/28 = 308.2 g of NH₃.

Thus, 308.2 g of NH₃ were obtained from the reaction.

The molar mass of hydrogen molecules is 2g/mol and the molar mass of oxygen molecules is 32g/mol. What is the ratio of the avera
Alona [7]

Answer:

1

Explanation:

For an ideal gas, the average kinetic energy is given by:

Ek = (3/2)*n*R*T

Where n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant (8.31 J/mol*K), and T the temperature. The gases have the same number of moles, and the same temperature, so they will have the same average kinetic energy:

Ek = (3/2)*1*8.31*300

Ek =3739.5 J

So, the ratio between then is 1.

Calculate the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 1.495 moles of lioh in enough water to give a final volume of 750. m
zhenek [66]
Molarity can be defined as the number of moles of substance dissolved in 1 L of solution.
In the given question ,
number of LiOH moles - 1.495 mol
Dissolved volume - 750 mL
molarity is calculated for 1 L = 1000 mL
In 750 mL - 1.495 mol of LiOH is dissolved
Therefore in 1000 mL - 1.495 mol / 750 mL x 1000 = 1.99 mol
