Answer:
a) MZ₂
b) They have the same concentration
c) 4x10⁻⁴ mol/L
Explanation:
a) The solubility (S) is the concentration of the salt that will be dissociated and form the ions in the solution, the solubility product constant (Kps) is the multiplication of the concentration of the ions elevated at their coefficients. The concentration of the ions depends on the stoichiometry and will be equivalent to S.
The salts solubilization reactions and their Kps values are:
MA(s) ⇄ M⁺²(aq) + A⁻²(aq) Kps = S*S = S²
MZ₂(aq) ⇄ M⁺²(aq) + 2Z⁻(aq) Kps = S*S² = S³
Thus, the Kps of MZ₂ has a larger value.
b) A saturated solution is a solution that has the maximum amount of salt dissolved, so, the concentration dissolved is solubility. As we can notice from the reactions, the concentration of M⁺² is the same for both salts.
c) The equilibrium will be not modified because the salts have the same solubility. So, let's suppose that the volume of each one is 1 L, so the number of moles of the cation in each one is 4x10⁻⁴ mol. The total number of moles is 8x10⁻⁴ mol, and the concentration is:
8x10⁻⁴ mol/2 L = 4x10⁻⁴ mol/L.
Answer:
Chemotherapy drugs and other toxins are actively pumped out of cancer cells by transmembrane proteins.
Explanation:
Drugs inside the cell can be inactivated by oxidation and / or conjugation with glutathione, such as glutathione S-transferases, playing an important role in detoxification. However, conjugation is not enough for drug elimination. And this is where the GS-X pumps appear. Transporter proteins, such as Mrp protein, act as GS-X pumps. The PgP, Mrp and Bcrp proteins function as expulsion pumps, thus reducing the intracellular accumulation of drugs, causing resistance in cancer cells.
The correct equilibrium expression would be one that has products over reactants, and to the power of their stoichiometric coefficient. Also, it would not include any liquids or solids.
The equilibrium expression for your balanced reaction is:
Mendeleev’s was organized in atomic mass whereas the modern periodic table is organized by atomic number
