Why do lipids make effective cell membranes in living cells?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Vaselesa [24]3 years ago
4 0

The answer is the second option. Lipids make effective cell membranes in living cells because lipids (fats) are not soluble in water. This means that lipids and water do not mix... This lipid bilayer helps to protect the cell.

They form barriers so the second option is right because lipids are hydrophobic meaning they don’t mix with water

How many atoms are there in 5.00 mol of sulphur (S)?
Mumz [18]

Answer:

3.01 × 10²⁴ atoms S

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

5.00 mol S

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

<u />5.00 \ mol \ S(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ S}{1 \ mol \ S} ) = 3.011 × 10²⁴ atoms S

<u />

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

3.011 × 10²⁴ atoms S ≈ 3.01 × 10²⁴ atoms S

Consider the reaction: CaCO3(s) à CaO(s) + CO2(g)
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

131.5 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

First, we will calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction (ΔH°).

ΔH° = 1 mol × ΔH°f(CaO(s)) + 1 mol × ΔH°f(CO₂(g) ) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(CaCO₃(s) )

ΔH° = 1 mol × (-634.9 kJ/mol) + 1 mol × (-393.5 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-1207.6 kJ/mol)

ΔH° = 179.2 kJ

Then, we calculate the standard entropy of the reaction (ΔS°).

ΔS° = 1 mol × S°(CaO(s)) + 1 mol × S°(CO₂(g) ) - 1 mol × S°(CaCO₃(s) )

ΔS° = 1 mol × (38.1 J/mol.K) + 1 mol × (213.8 J/mol.K) - 1 mol × (91.7 J/mol.K)

ΔS° = 160.2 J/K = 0.1602 kJ/K

Finally, we calculate the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction at T = 25°C = 298 K.

ΔG° = ΔH° - T × ΔS°

ΔG° = 179.2 kJ - 298 K × 0.1602 kJ/K

ΔG° = 131.5 kJ

Explain in a short sentence how you can tell if a reaction is a double replacement<br> reaction.
Monica [59]

Explanation:

In a double displacement reaction, there is an actual exchange of partners to form new compounds.

The reaction is given as shown below:

         AB + CD →  AD + CB

One of the following conditions serves as the driving force for a double replacement reaction:

  • Formation of an insoluble compound or precipitate
  • Formation of water or any other non-ionizing compound
  • Liberation of a gaseous product.

Two steps in a synthesis of the analgesic ibuprofen include a carbonyl condensation reaction, followed by an alkylation reaction
Tresset [83]
Ibuprofen is synthesized by reacting ethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)acetate with base, the base abstracts the acidic proton and enolate is formed which on reaction with diethyl carbonate generates diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)malonate (A). diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)malonate on treatment with Base again looses the acidic proton and forms enolate. The enolate with treatment with Methyl Iodide yields diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-2-methylmalonate (B). diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-2-methylmalonate on hydrolysis give Ibuprofen.
