1a. A researcher accidentally spilled some sand into his beaker containing crystalline compound X. Knowing what he did about mel

ting points, he was not worried about obtaining the melting point of compound X with a few grains of sand present. Why

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Many organic compounds have low melting points. This is due to the fact that many of these compounds are non polar.

However, compound X is slightly polar but still has a melting point which is far less than that of sand composed of a high melting point inorganic material.

Since sand has a much higher melting point compared to compound X, the researcher need not be worried that sand was spilled into his beaker.

149.3 g of H2O at 95 ◦C is poured over 412 g Fe at 5 ◦C in an insulated vessel. What is the final temperature? The specific heat
abruzzese [7]
You are correct, but you needn't worry about the signs so much. Just remember that the negative sign is used to denote a loss of energy; since the water is hotter, it will be losing energy (-Q) and the iron will gain energy (Q). Now, we substitute the values:
-149.3 * 4.184 * (T - 95) = 412 * 0.44 * (T - 5)
Solving this equation for T,
T = 74.8 °C

Which of the following would NOT diffuse through the plasma membrane by means of simple diffusion?1 oxygen2 glucose3 a steroid h
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Option 2= Glucose

Explanation:

Cell membrane is made up of two phospholipid layers and each contain phosphate head and fatty acid or lipid tails. the head is present between the outer and inner boundaries and tail is present in between. The small non- polar molecules can pass the membrane through simple diffusion. This lipid tail restrict the passage of polar molecules including water soluble substances like glucose. However, transmembranes are present that allow the molecules to inter that are blocked by the tails.

Facilitated diffusion:

it is a type of diffusion in which caries protein without using the cellular energy shuttle the molecules to the cell membrane. Glucose is bind on the carrier protein ,change the shape and transport it from one to another side of membrane. In order to absorb the glucose red blood cells use this kind of diffusion.

Primary active transport:

The cells that are present along small intestine use this type of transport to pump the glucose inside the cell. The primary active transport require energy to transport the glucose inside.

Secondary active transport:

It is another method of transport of glucose into the cell. This method can not use ATP but it is based on concentration gradient of the sodium that provide electro chemical energy for the glucose transport.

A student pipets 10 ml of a 0.0693 m solution of kbr into a 500 ml volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark. what is the concent
Sonja [21]

The initial concentration of solution is 0.0693 M. The volume of solution taken is 10 mL and it is diluted to a final volume of 500 mL.

According to dilution law, the product of initial concentration and volume is equal to the product of final concentration and volume as follows:

C_{1}V_{1}=C_{2}V_{2}

Here, C_{1} is initial concentration, C_{2} is final concentration, V_{1} is initial volume and V_{2} is final volume.

Rearranging to calculate final concentration,

C_{2}=\frac{C_{1}\times V_{1}}{V_{2}}

Putting the values,

C_{2}=\frac{0.0693 M\times 10 mL}{500 mL}=0.001386 M

Therefore, concentration of the resulting solution is 0.001386 M.
