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.

Ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) is used as an antifreeze in cars. If 250 g of ethylene glycol is added to 3.00 kg of water, what is the
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

2,909 M

Explanation:

molair mass is of.ethylene is 26,04 g/mol

first you need to calculate how much mL 3 kg is. You can do this by using the density of ethylene: 1,1 g/mL.

3000 g x 1.1 = 3300 mL = 3,3 L

Next you need to calculate the amount of moles:

250 g / 26,04 g/mol = 9,60 mol

Now you can calculate the molarity:

9,6/3.3 = 2,909 M

I don't know the answer for the second question. I'm sorry.

Why do you think it is advantageous to use inert electrodes in the electrolysis process? ​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The advantage of this technique is that purified water as well as deposited metals can be re-used. It is necessary to use an inert electrode, such as platinum, because there is no metal present to conduct the electrons from the anode to the cathode.

Advantages and disadvantages of titration?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

What are the advantages of titration?

Titrimetric analysis commonly referred to as volumetric analysis offers distinct advantages over cumbersome gravimetric methods:

Speed of analysis.

Instantaneous completion of reactions.

Greater accuracy due to minimization of material loss involved in decanting, filtration, precipitation or similar operations.

Explanation:

Disadvantages

It is a destructive method often using up relatively large quantities of the substance being analysed.

It requires reactions to occur in a liquid phase, often the chemistry of interest will make this inappropriate.

It can produce significant amounts of chemical waste which has to be disposed of.

It has limited accuracy.
