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.

alex41 [277]

Answer:

1.39\times 10^{17} moles of water in 2.5\times 10^{18} g of water.

Explanation:

Mass of water = m = 2.5\times 10^{18} g

Molar mass of water = M = 18 g/mol

Moles = n = \frac{m}{M}

n=\frac{2.5\times 10^{18} g}{18 g/mol}=1.39\times 10^{17} moles

So, there are 1.39\times 10^{17} moles of water in 2.5\times 10^{18} g of water.

What is the ph of a 0.15 m solution of ammonium chloride?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
 Best Answer:  <span>(a) 
8.9 x 10^-7 = x^2 / 0.15-x 
x = [OH-] = 0.00037 M 
pOH = 3.4 
pH = 14 - 3.4 = 10.6 

(b) 
Ka = Kw/Kb = 5.6 x 10^-10 = x^2 / 0.20-x 
x = [H+] = 0.000011 M 
pH = 5.0</span>
