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.

If you put hydrogen (H1+) and Hydroxide (OH1) together what it’s it called?

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The hydroxyl ions (OH-) released will combine with any hydrogen ions (H+) in the solution to form water molecules (OH- + H+ = H2O).

If you added 45,000 calories to water that was at 25 degrees C, and the ending temperature was 35 degrees C, how much water did

user100 [1]

Answer:

4.5 L water we have in litres (L).

Explanation:

$Q=m\times c \times \Delta T$

where

$\Delta T$ = Final T - Initial T

Q is the heat energy in calories

c is the specific heat capacity (for water 1.0 cal/(g℃))

m is the mass of water

Plugging in the values

$\\$45000 \mathrm{cal}=m \times 1.0 \frac{\mathrm{cal}}{\mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \times\left(35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}-25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$\\\\$45000 \mathrm{cal}=m \times 1.0 \frac{\mathrm{cal}}{\mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \times 10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$\\\\$m=\frac{45000 \mathrm{cal}}{1.0 \frac{\mathrm{cal}}{\mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \times 10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}$\\\\$m=4500 \mathrm{g}$\\\\Density of water $=\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { volume }}$$

So,

Volume of water = mass/density

$\\\\=\frac{4500 \mathrm{g}}{\frac{1.09}{\mathrm{mL}}}=4500 \mathrm{mL}$$$

Difference between protons neutrons and electrons?

photoshop1234 [79]

Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom, whereas electrons are present in orbitals, or shells, outside an atom. Electrons are negatively charged, protons positive, and neutrons have no charge, or are neutral. Protons and neutrons have a relative mass of approx. 1 Atomic Mass Unit (amu), whereas electrons have a relative mass of approx 0.00055 amu.

What does lead ii acetate and hydrogen sulfide produce? and what type of reaction is it?

kati45 [8]

When Lead (II) acetate and Hydrogen sulfide react, they form Lead sulfide and Acetic acid. The reaction is a reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction.
The balanced chemical reaction is this:
Pb(C2H3O2)2 + H2S --> PbS + 2C2H4O2
And the net ionic reaction is this:
Pb2+ + S2- --> PbS
