The technique which is used to purify the chemicals is said to be recrystallization.

In this process, solute is dissolved in a particular solvent and according to its principle, the quantity of solute which is dissolved by solvent increases with increase in temperature. The solutes are more soluble at high temperatures in comparison to room temperature (insoluble) or low temperature. Therefore, heating is needed to dissolve the solute in the solvent.

Now, in the case of hexane or diethyl ether, flameless heating is required because of their low boiling points implies if they heat directly on fire, then they have tendency to catch fire. Thus, hexane and diethyl ether are highly flammable.

The sodium-potassium exchange pump

trapecia [35]

Answer: The correct answer is option E

Explanation:

Sodium/potassium pump is a mechanism that involves the movement of sodium ions (Na+) out of a cell and potassium ions (K+) into a cell, thereby regulating concentration of ions on both sides of a typical cell membrane.

In this situation, the sodium-potassium pump is usually helps in the establishment of the resting potential. The potassium voltage channels normally closes before the membrane potential is brought to a resting level.

In summary, sodium/potassium pump helps to maintain a balance in the system.

Select correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups. Select correct examples of linear molecules for five elect

Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate hybridization is as follows.

Hybridization = $\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

So, hybridization of $BeCl_{2}$ is as follows.

Hybridization = $\frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]$

= $\frac{1}{2}[2 + 2]$

= 2

Hybridization of $BeCl_{2}$ is sp. Therefore, $BeCl_{2}$ is a linear molecule. There will be only two electron groups through which Be is attached.

Similarly, hybridization of $XeF_{2}$ is calculated as follows.

Hybridization = $\frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]$

= $\frac{1}{2}[8 + 2]$

= 5

Therefore, hybridization of $XeF_{2}$ is $sp^{3}d. Therefore, [tex]XeF_{2}$ is also a linear molecule. Though there are three lone pair of electrons present on a xenon atom and it is further attached with fluorine atoms through two electron pairs. Hence, there are in total five electron groups.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options $XeF_{2}$ is the correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups.
