Answer:

D. can control the transport of small molecules and ions.

Explanation:

Bilayers are critical components of cell membranes. The lipid bilayer acts as a barrier to the passage of molecules and ions into and out of the cell. However, an important function of the cell membrane is to allow selective passage of certain substances into and out of cells.

The lipid bilayers are highly permeable to non-polar (fat-soluble) molecules. The permeability of the bilayers to polar (water soluble) molecules is very low, and the permeability is particularly low to large polar molecules. The permeability to charged molecular species (ions) is very low.

How many unpaired electrons are present in a ground-state atom from each of the following groups?
musickatia [10]

For 7A(17) :

Electronic configuration ns^2 np^5

So, there are 5 unpaired electrons present in group 7A(17).

<h3>What are Unpaired Electrons?</h3>
  • An unpaired electron is an electron that doesn't form part of an electron pair when it occupies an atom's orbital in chemistry.
  • Each of an atom's three atomic orbitals, designated by the quantum numbers n, l, and m, has the capacity to hold a pair of two electrons with opposing spins.
  • Unpaired electrons are extremely uncommon in chemistry because an object carrying an unpaired electron is typically quite reactive. This is because the production of electron pairs, whether in the form of a chemical bond or as a lone pair, is frequently energetically advantageous.
  • They play a crucial role in describing reaction pathways even though they normally only appear momentarily during a reaction on a thing called a radical in organic chemistry.

How many moles of xenon gas, Xe, would occopy 37.8L at stp
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The number of moles of  xenon are 1.69 mol.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of xenon = ?

Volume of gas = 37.8 L

Temperature = 273 K

Pressure = 1 atm

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will put the values in formula.

1 atm × 37.8 L = n ×  0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K   ×273 K

37.8 atm.L =  n × 22.413 atm.L/ mol.

n = 37.8 atm.L /  22.413 atm.L/ mol.

n = 1.69 mol

The number of moles of  xenon are 1.69.

Using the word bank explain why increasing the temperature increases the rate of reaction​
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction.
