densk [106]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Sodium-Potassium Pumps

Explanation:

Sodium-Potassium Pumps written as Na-K Pumps are ion channels found in the cell membrane of nerve cells. These pumps are responsible for maintaining the different ion concentrations across the membrane and help in polarization and depolarization of the membrane by influencing membrane potential. During ion exchange these pumps transfer three sodium ions from inside to outside of the cell and two potassium ions from outside to inside of the cell. In this way they maintain the ion concentration gradient across membrane.

When carbon-containing compounds are burned in a limited amount of air, some CO(g) as well as CO₂(g) is produced. A gaseous prod
solong [7]

Here, we are going to calculate the mass % of C in the mixture.

What is a Mixture?

A mixture is composed of one or more pure substances in varying composition. There are two types of mixtures: heterogeneous and homogeneous. Heterogeneous mixtures have visually distinguishable components, while homogeneous mixtures appear uniform throughout.

Given that,

The mass % of CO =35.0% =35.0 g in 100 g mixture

The mass % of CO2 = 65% =65 g in 100 g mixture

Therefore,

The mass of C from CO = 15.007 g C

Similarly,

The mass of C from CO2 = 17.738 g C

Thus, the total mass of C = 15.007 g+17.738 g =32.745 g

Therefore,

The mass % of C= 32.745% =32.7%

Thus, the mass % of C in the mixture is 32.7%

A sample of copper metal has a mass of 848 grams. How many moles of copper are in the sample? 13.34 mol Cu, 13.3 mol Cu, 12.9 mo
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

mol_{Cu}=13.34molCu

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, as the atomic mass of coppe is 63.546 g/mol, with the given mass with can compute the moles as shown below:

mol_{Cu}=848gCu*\frac{1molCu}{63.546 gCu} \\\\mol_{Cu}=13.34molCu

Best regards.

GivenL C2H2 + 5O2 ------> 4 CO2 + 2H2O
diamong [38]

Answer:

101 L

Explanation:

35.0 g KOH ÷ 56.09 g/mol KOH × (1 mol H2O/ 1 mol KOH) × 18 g/mol H2O = 11.2 g H2O

35.0 g HCl ÷ 36.45 g/mol HCl × (1 mol H2O/ 1 mol HCl) × 18 g/mol H2O = 17.3 g H2O

35.0 g KOH is the limiting reactant
