Tails of phospholipids that don't like water

Chemistry
1 answer:
densk [106]3 years ago
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.

14.2 grams of Na2SO4 is dissolved in water to make a 2.50 L
Trava [24]

Answer:

0.04 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Na₂SO₄= 14.2 g

Volume of solution = 2.50 L

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of Na₂SO₄:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 14.2 g/ 142.04 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.1 mol

Molarity :

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in L

Molarity = 0.1 mol / 2.50 L

Molarity = 0.04 M

Help! What did I do wrong??

The molecules  of hydrogen gas that are  formed is  when 48.7 g  of sodium are added to water  is  6.375  x 10²³  molecules


  <u><em>calculation</em></u>

2 Na +2H₂O →  2 NaOH  +H₂

Step 1: find the moles  of sodium (Na)

moles =mass÷   molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol

moles= 48.7 g÷ 23 g/mol =2.117 moles

Step 2:use the mole ratio to determine  the  moles of H₂

  from  given equation  Na:H₂ is 2:1

therefore the moles  of H₂ = 2.117 moles x 1/2=1.059 moles

Step 3: find the molecules of H₂ using the Avogadro's law

According  to  Avogadro's  law  1 mole = 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

                                                      1.059 moles = ?  molecules

by cross multiplication

= [(1.059 moles x 6.02 x10²³  molecules) /  1 mole] =6.375  x 10²³  molecules
