Answer:
3. Tails of phospholipids are hydrophobic.
Explanation:
According to the fluid mosaic model, the plasma or cell membrane contains components such as: proteins, phospholipids etc. The phospholipid forms a layer called PHOSPHOLIPID LAYER, which comprises of a phosphate head and a fatty acid (lipid) tail.
The phosphate head is HYDROPHILIC i.e. water-logging while the fatty acid/lipid tail is HYDROPHOBIC i.e. water-fearing. Hence, according to this question, it is TRUE that the tails of phospholipids are hydrophobic.
Note: Phospholipid layer, which are selectively-permeable i.e do not allow the passage of molecules, allows the passage/diffusion of small molecules like oxygen gas.
Answer:
Kc = 12.58
Explanation:
Kc = [0.229]^2*[0.687]^6/[0.221]^4*[0.5685]^3
Kc = (0.052441)(0.10513)/(0.002385)(0.18373)
Kc = 0.0005513/0.000438
Kc = 12.58

Answer:
330 mL of (NH₄)₂SO₄ are needed
Explanation:
First of all, we determine the reaction:
(NH₄)₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → 2NH₃ + 2H₂O + Na₂SO₄
We determine the moles of base:
(First, we convert the volume from mL to L) → 62.6 mL . 1L/1000 mL = 0.0626L
Molarity . volume (L) = 2.31 mol/L . 0.0626 L = 0.144 moles
Ratio is 2:1. Therefore we make a rule of three:
2 moles of hydroxide react with 1 mol of sulfate
Then, 0.144 moles of NaOH must react with (0.144 .1) /2 = 0.072 moles
If we want to determine the volume → Moles / Molarity
0.072 mol / 0.218 mol/L = 0.330 L
We convert from L to mL → 0.330L . 1000 mL/1L = 330 mL
PH is defined as the negative log of Hydrogen ion concentration. Mathematically we can write this as:
![pH=-log[H^{+}]=-log[H_{3}O]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%3D-log%5BH_%7B3%7DO%5D%20%20)
We are given the concentration of
. Using the value in formula, we get:
![pH=-log[1.8*10^{-4}]=3.745](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%5B1.8%2A10%5E%7B-4%7D%5D%3D3.745%20)
Therefore, the pH of the solution will be 3.745
