Question:

Which of the following statements correctly describe(s) the driving forces for diffusion of Na+ and K+ ions through their respective channels? Select all that apply.

A)The diffusion of Na+ ions into the cell is facilitated by the Na+ concentration gradient across the plasma membrane.

B)The diffusion of Na+ ions into the cell is impeded by the electrical gradient across the plasma membrane.

C)The diffusion of K+ ions out of the cell is impeded by the K+ concentration gradient across the plasma membrane.

D)The diffusion of K+ ions out of the cell is impeded by the electrical gradient across the plasma membrane. The electrochemical gradient is larger for Na+ than for K+.

Answer:

"The concentration gradient and the electro-chemical gradient" describes  the driving forces for diffusion of Na+ and K+ ions through their respective channels

Explanation:

The Na ions diffusion inside the cell is facilitated by the concentration gradient of the Na ions which is present across the plasma membrane. Hence, the diffusion of the K ions which is present outside the cell and will be impeded due to the electrical gradient which is present near the plasma membrane. Thus, the electro-chemical gradient is greater as compared to the Na ion than that of the K ion.

In a test of an automobile engine 1.00 L of octane (702 g) is burned, but only 1.84 kg of carbon dioxide is produced. What is th
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The % yield of CO2 is 85.05 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of octane = 702 grams

Molar mass octane = 114.23 g/mol

Mass CO2 =1.84 kg = 1840 grams

Molar mass of CO2

Step 2: The balanced equation

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles of octane

Moles octane = mass octane / molar mass octane

Moles octane = 702.0 grams / 114.23 g/mol

Moles octane = 6.145 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of CO2

For 2 moles octane we need 25 moles O2 to produce 16 moles CO2 and 18 moles H2O

For 6.145 moles octane we'll have 8*6.145 moles =49.16 moles

Step 5: Calculate mass of CO2

Mass CO2 = moles CO2 * molar mass CO2

Mass CO2 = 49.16 moles * 44.01 g/mol

Mass CO2 = 2163.5 grams

Step 6: Calculate % yield of carbon dioxide

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield)*100%

% yield = (1840/2163.5)*100%

% yield = 85.05 %

The % yield of CO2 is 85.05 %

Answer:

I don't know if this is right but try it. The amount of water vapor in the air is called absolute humidity. The amount of water vapor in the air as compared with the amount of water that the air could hold is called relative humidity. This amount of space in air that can hold water changes depending on the temperature and pressure.
