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.

Tetrachloromethane, CCl4 is produced from the substitution reaction between methane and chlorine gas. If the rate of formation o

Korolek [52]

The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas : 0.2 mol/dm³

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The reaction rate (v) shows the change in the concentration of the substance (changes in addition to concentrations for reaction products or changes in concentration reduction for reactants) per unit time.

For reaction :

$\tt aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

The rate reaction :

$\tt -\dfrac{1}{a}\dfrac{d[-A]}{dt}= -\dfrac{1}{b}\dfrac{d[-B]}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{c}\dfrac{d[C]}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{d}\dfrac{d[D]}{dt}$

Reaction for formation CCl₄ :

<em>CH₄+4Cl₂⇒CCl₄+4HCl</em>

<em />

From equation, rate of reaction = rate of formation CCl₄ = 0.05 mol/dm³

Rate of formation of CCl₄ = reaction rate x coefficient of CCCl₄

0.05 mol/dm³ = reaction rate x 1⇒reaction rate = 0.05 mol/dm³

The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas (Cl₂) :

Rate of disappearance of Cl₂ = reaction rate x coefficient of Cl₂

Rate of disappearance of Cl₂ = 0.05 x 4 = 0.2 mol/dm³

If 842 grams of sodium hydroxide reacts with 750.0 grams of aluminum, how many grams of aluminum hydroxide should theoretically

Phantasy [73]

548.55 grams of aluminum hydroxide should theoretically form.

Explanation:

Balanced equation for the reaction:

3 NaOH + Al ⇒ Al(OH)3 +3 Na

DATA GIVEN:

mass of NaOH = 842 grams, atomic mass =39.9 grams/mole

mass of Al = 750 grams, atomic mass = 26.9 grams/mole

aluminum hydroxide theoretical yield = ?

Moles of NaOH reacted

number of moles = $\frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}$

putting the values in the equation

NaOH = $\frac{842}{39.9}$

= 21.1 MOLES OF NaOH

Al = $\frac{750}{26.9}$

= 27.8 moles

from the equation

from 3 moles of NaOH 1 mole of Al(OH)3 is produced

21.1 moles of NaOH will react to give x moles of Al(OH)3

$\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{x}{21.1}$

7.03 moles of Al(OH)3 is formed.

and

1 mole of Al(OH)3 is formed from 1 mole of Al in the reaction

so, 27.8 Moles will react to give give 27.8 moles of Al(OH)3 limiting reagent of the given reaction is NaOH

mass of Al(OH)3 =7.03 x 78 (atomic mass of Al(OH)3)

= 548.55 grams

theoretical yield from the given data is 548.55 grams
