This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Consider an experimental setup with two compartments separated by a phospholipid bilayer membrane containing ion channels selectively permeable only to chloride ions. The left compartment (also called inside) contains 1 mM Cl- and the right compartment (also called outside) contains 100 mM Cl-. What will the electrical potential be when the system attains equilibrium? [ assume body temperature; log 100 = 2, log 10 = 1, log 1 = 0, log 0.1 = -1, log 0.01 = -2]

Options;

a) -62 mV

b) -124 mV

c) +62 mV

d) 0 mV

e) +124 mV

Answer:

the electrical potential be when the system attains equilibrium is  –124mV

Option b) –124mV is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Two compartments are divided by lipid bilayer;

In inside compartment Cl- ion concentration- 1mM and out side of the cell concentration is 100mM

now we apply the Nernst equilibrium potential equation;

Chlorine ion valency is z = –1

So

E_{eq} = 62/z × log(ion outside/ ion inside) [for Cl‐ ions]

E_{eq} = (62 / –1) x log(  100 / 1 )

 E_{eq} = -62 x 2 =

E_{eq}  = –124mV

Therefore, the electrical potential be when the system attains equilibrium is  –124mV

Option b) –124mV is the correct answer

For the reaction 2 HCl + Ca ( OH ) 2 ⟶ CaCl 2 + 2 H 2 O how many grams of calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, are needed to react comple
kari74 [83]

Answer: 65.38g of Ca(OH)2 is needed

Explanation:

From The equation of reaction

2 HCl + Ca ( OH ) 2 ⟶ CaCl 2 + 2 H 2 O

NB: Molar mass of HCl= 1+35.5=36.5

Ca(OH)2= 74

From The stoichiometric equation

2mol of HCl(36.5×2=73) require 1mol of Ca(OH)2 (74g)

Hence 64.5g of HCl will require 64.5×74/73= 65.38g of Ca(OH)2

Two processes of plant reproduction are described below.
Stells [14]

Answer:

Process 1 is pollination and Process 2 is germination

Explanation:

Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of every living organism, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. One of the ways that plants can produce offspring is by making seeds.

Germination refers to the process by which an organism grows from a seed or a spore. The most common forms of germination include a seed sprouting to form a seedling and the formation of a sporeling from a spore. Thus, germination occurs primarily in plant and fungal species.

I hope this help :)

good luck

Iodine chloride, ICl, can be made by the following reaction between iodine, I2, potassium iodate, KIO3, and hydrochloric acid.
Vadim26 [7]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

<span>2 I2 + KIO3 + 6 HCl ---------> 5 ICl + KCl + 3 H2O 
</span>
We are given the amount of the product to be produced from the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculations.

28.6 g ICl (1 mol / 162.35 g ICl ) ( 2 mol I2 / 5 mol ICl ) ( 253.81 g I2 / 1 mol I2 ) = 17.88 g I2
