Sodium potassium pump is an active pump which transfer sodium and potassium ions across the membrane with the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP.
This kind of pump is generally used in nerve cells.
The pump works against the concentration gradient as the pump moves three Na+ ions outside the cell and two K+ ions inside the cell, though there is a high concentration of Na+ outside the cell and a low concentration of K+ outside the cell.
Answer:
210 moles
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Volume of solution = 25.6 L
Molarity = 8.20 M
Mole of solute =?
Molarity is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of water. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
Molarity = mole /Volume
With the above formula, the mole of solute dissolved can be obtained as follow:
Volume of solution = 25.6 L
Molarity = 8.20 M
Mole of solute =?
Molarity = mole /Volume
8.20 = mole / 25.6
Cross multiply
Mole = 8.20 × 25.6
Mole = 209.92 ≈ 210 moles
Thus, the mole of solute dissolved in the solution is 210 moles
