Why isn't energy required for the passenger molecule to be carried across the cell membrane by the carrier molecules?

Chemistry

satela [25.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Energy is not required for the passenger molecule to be carried across the cell membrane by the carrier molecule  simply because they are moving down a concentration gradient, that is to say movement is from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.  

When particle move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration, they do not need energy. For example this is how the aroma of cooking spreads from the kitchen (higher concentration)  to all the other rooms in the house.

How much heat is required to melt 20 g of gold at 1064.18 °C with a heat of fusion of 64 J/g *
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

1280J are required.

Explanation:

Heat of fusion is defined as the amount of heat required to change its state from liquid to solid at its melting point at constant pressure.

As heat of fusion of gold is 64J/g, there are required 64J to melt 1g of gold at its melting point. The energy required to melt 20g is:

20g * (64J/g) =

1280J are required

GREYUIT [131]

Colorimetric methods of analysis make use of Color changes in reagents to decipher the concentration of solutions.

Therefore, color completes the sentence

<h3>Colourimetric analysis</h3>

Generally, Colorimetric analysis is used to know the concentration of a chemical element in a solution while using colour indicators or reagents.

Therefore

Colorimetric methods of analysis are based on having a reagent that changes Color as a function of the concentration of the analyte.

The equilibrium constant is given for two of the reactions below. Determine the value of the missing equilibrium constant. 2A(g)
monitta

Answer:

The value of the missing equilibrium constant ( of the first equation) is 1.72

Explanation:

First equation: 2A + B ↔ A2B   Kc = TO BE DETERMINED

 ⇒ The equilibrium expression for this equation is written as: [A2B]/[A]²[B]

Second equation: A2B + B ↔ A2B2   Kc= 16.4

⇒ The equilibrium expression is written as: [A2B2]/[A2B][B]

Third equation:  2A + 2B ↔ A2B2     Kc = 28.2

⇒ The equilibrium expression is written as: [A2B2]/ [A]²[B]²

If we add the first to the second equation

2A + B + B ↔ A2B2   the equilibrium constant Kc will be X(16.4)

But the sum of these 2 equations, is the same as the third equation ( 2A + 2B ↔ A2B2)   with Kc = 28.2

So this means: 28.2 = X(16.4)

or X = 28.2/16.4

X = 1.72

with X = Kc of the first equation

The value of the missing equilibrium constant ( of the first equation) is 1.72
