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.

______ will have a higher entropy than 50.0 g CO2 (g) at 56 oC.

Tomtit [17]

1) The more mass is the more entropy , because there are more particles, there is disorder.
2) Than higher temperature --- the more entropy.
3) Gas has more disorder than liquid, so gas has more entropy.
So, correct answer is E.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

6.9 ml of concentrate

Explanation:

100 ml of .1 M will require .01 moles

from a 1.45 M solution, .01 mole would be

.01 mole / ( 1.45 mole / liter) = 6.9 ml of the concentrate then dilute to 100 ml

knowing that the reaction of potassium in water is extremely exothermic, what would be the problem with adding a large piece of

anygoal [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the reaction is really exothermic (and it is) then the water would spatter all over the place. It would boil off if the container could hold it. It would also react according to the following reaction.

You are talking about a reaction like

2K + 2HOH = 2KOH + H2

How much heat is released when you condense 93.9 g of water vapor? Show work please ❤️

sammy [17]

Answer:

211.9 J

Explanation:

The molecules of water release heat during the transition of water vapor to liquid water, but the temperature of the water does not change with it.

The amount of heat released can be represented by the formula:

$Q=mL_e$
