Answer:

Active transport by the Na+-K+ pump

Explanation:

Active transport by the Na+-K+ pump

Maintenance (and restoration) of the resting ion concentrations depends on the Na+-K+ pump. Once gated ion channels are closed, the combined action of the pump and ion leakage (particularly that of K+) establishes a resting membrane potential in a typical neuron of around âˆ'70 mV.

An unknown amount of mercury (II) oxide was decomposed in the lab. Mercury metal was formed and 5.20 L of oxygen was released at

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

68.3g

Explanation:

1. Word equation:

mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen

2. Balanced molecular equation:

2HgO → 2Hg + O₂(g)

3. Mole ratio

Write the ratio of the coefficients of the substances that are object of the problem:

$2molHgO/1molO_2$

4. Calculate the number of moles of O₂(g)

Use the equation for ideal gases:

$pV=nRT\\\\\\n=\dfrac{pV}{RT}\\\\\\n=\dfrac{0.970atm\times5.20L}{0.08206atm.L/K.mol\times 390.0K}\\\\\\n=0.1576mol$

5. Calculate the number of moles of HgO

$\dfrac{2molHgO}{1molO_2}\times 0.1576molO_2=0.315molHgO$

6. Convert to mass

mass = # moles × molar mass

molar mass of HgO: 216.591g/mol

mass = 0.315mol × 216.591g/mol = 68.3g

A force is applied but nothing happens

Lana71 [14]

If a force is applied but nothing happens, then it means that the forces are balanced. Being at such state, equal forces are acting on an object in opposite directions. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

cuando las particulas estan separadas una de la otra se dice que su estado de agregacion o fisico es?

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

english:

Solid is the state in which matter maintains a certain volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter conforms to the shape of its container, but varies only slightly in volume; gas is the state in which matter expands to fill the volume and shape of its container.

español:

Sólido es el estado en el que la materia mantiene cierto volumen y forma; el líquido es el estado en el que la materia se adapta a la forma de su recipiente, pero varía sólo ligeramente en volumen; el gas es el estado en el que la materia se expande para ocupar el volumen y la forma de su recipiente.

pharmacokinetics

This question is simply a matter of knowing the definition of terms being used in your class. So let's look at the 4 options and see what makes sense. spectrometry * This is the determination of elements based upon the light spectrum associated with the elements. It can be either an emission spectrum you get by energizing the substance under test, or an absorption spectrum to see what wavelengths the substance absorbs. But in either case, this doesn't make sense in the statement, so it's a wrong answer. LD50 * This terms means "Lethal Dose 50%" which is the amount of the substance needed such that half of the creatures that receive that dose die. In the context of the statement, this doesn't make sense, so it's a wrong answer. pharmacokinetics * This is the study of how drugs move through the body and are metabolized. This sounds like something that makes sense for the statement in the question, so it's most likely the correct answer. Let's see what the next choice is. chromatography * This is a laboratory method of separating substances using differential rates of diffusion. This doesn't make sense given the statement in the question, so it's a wrong choice. So of the 4 available choices, 3 of them do not make sense given the statement in question and the only one that does make sense is "pharmacokinetics"
