A liquid that occupies a volume of 0.820 L has a mass of 2.56 kg.

user100 [1]

Answer:

The density of this liquid is 0.320 kg/L

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of the Liquid = 0.820 L

Mass of the liquid = 2.56 kg.

To Find:

The density of the liquid in kg/L

Solution:

Density is the mass occupied by the substance in unit volume. This density is essential determining whether the substance floats or sinks. Greek letter(rho) is used to denote density

The equation of for density is

$Density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

$\rho = \frac{m}{v}$

where m is the mass

v is the volume

On substituting the given values

$\rho = \frac{0.820 }{2.56}$

$\rho = 0.320 kg/L$

By which mechanism would a steroid molecule diffuse into the cell?

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: Directly through the phospholipid membrane

Explanation:

The cell membrane consist of a phospholipid bilayers structure. In the interior of the membrane, the phospholipid tail are hydrophobic, which makes the cell membrane to be selectively permeable, it is permeable to non polar molecules and impermeable to polar molecules.

Because Steroids are fat soluble, non polar compounds, they can diffuse directly through the hydrophobic, non polar core of the phospholipid bilayer without the use of carrier proteins.

Solution that contains high percentage of the base in solution are called?

g100num [7]

Answer:

Basic solution.

Explanation:

Solution that contains high percentage of the base in solution are called basic solution because it has more amount of 'Hydroxl or Hydroxide' ions or (OH-) ions. When we put few drops of the red litmus solution or paper in the solution which contains high percentage of the base, it turns red colour in to blue.

So, here the blue colour indicates that the solution is basic in nature.
