Tails of phospholipids that don't like water

1 answer:

3 0

Those tails are called hydrophobic. You can note the etymology: hydro= water, phobi = fear, aversion, dislike.

Phospholipds' tail is a long non polar chain, made of Carbon and Hydorgens, that rejects water (a polar solvent) and is attracted to non-polar compounds (oil for example). That is why that tails can atract dirt.

A chemist must prepare 300.0mL of nitric acid solution with a pH of 0.70 at 25°C. He will do this in three steps: Fill a 300.0mL

d1i1m1o1n [39]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of concentrated solution required is 9.95 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

We are given:

pH = 0.70

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.70=-\log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=10^{-0.70}=0.199M$

1 mole of nitric acid produces 1 mole of hydrogen ions and 1 mole of nitrate ions.

Molarity of nitric acid = 0.199 M

To calculate the volume of the concentrated solution, we use the equation:

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

where,

$M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the molarity and volume of the concentrated nitric acid solution

$M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the molarity and volume of diluted nitric acid solution

We are given:

$M_1=7.0M\\V_1=?mL\\M_2=0.199M\\V_2=350mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$7.0\times V_1=0.199\times 350.0\\\\V_1=\frac{0.199\times 350}{7.0}=9.95mL$

Hence, the volume of concentrated solution required is 9.95 mL

How many molecules are in 2.00 moles of h2o

Sedaia [141]

1 mole = 6.022×10^23 atoms. 1 water molecule = 2 Hydrogen atoms + 1 oxygen atom. So, 1 mole H2O = 1.2044×10^24 hydrogen atoms. Therefore 2 mole H2O will have 2.4088×10^24 hydrogen atoms.
