The concentrations of ions are very different inside and outside a nerve cell due to _____.

Chemistry
1 answer:
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 a mercury-202 nucleus is bombarded with a neutron, a proton is ejected. What element is formed?
Galina-37 [17]

That will make a gold-202 nucleus.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Refer to a periodic table. The atomic number of mercury Hg is 80.

Step One: Bombard the \displaystyle ^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} with a neutron ^{1}_{0}n. The neutron will add 1 to the mass number 202 of ^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}. However, the atomic number will stay the same.

  • New mass number: 202 + 1 = 203.
  • Atomic number is still 80.

^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} + ^{1}_{0}n \to ^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}.

Double check the equation:

  • Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 202 + 1 = 203 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
  • Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.

Step Two: The ^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} nucleus loses a proton ^{1}_{1}p. Both the mass number 203 and the atomic number will decrease by 1.

  • New mass number: 203 - 1 = 202.
  • New atomic number: 80 - 1 = 79.

Refer to a periodic table. What's the element with atomic number 79? Gold Au.

^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} \to ^{202}_{\phantom{2}79}\text{Au} + ^{1}_{1}p.

Double check the equation:

  • Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 203 = 202 + 1 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
  • Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = 79 + 1 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.

A gold-202 nucleus is formed.
