What do voltage-gated ion channels open in response to?.

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:Voltage-gated channels open (activate) in response to changes in membrane potential because the electric field acts on the channel to change its protein conformation (or state). It is voltage-gated sodium (Na+) channels that initiate action potentials and voltage-gated K+ channels that cause them to end.

Heating 2.40 g of the oxide of metal X (molar mass of X = 55.9 g/mol) in carbon monoxide (CO) yields the pure metal and carbon d

Korolek [52]

Answer:The molecular formula of the oxide of metal be $X_2O_3$ . The balanced equation for the reaction is given by:

$X_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 3CO_2+2X$

Explanation:

Let the molecular formula of the oxide of metal be $X_2O_y$

$X_2O_y+yCO\rightarrrow yCO_2+2X$

Mass of metal product = 1.68 g

Moles of metal X = $\frac{1.68 g}{55.9 g/mol}=0.03005 mol$

1 mol of metal oxide produces 2 moles of metal X.

Then 0.03005 moles of metal X will be produced by:

$\frac{1}{2}\times 0.03005 mol=0.01502 mol$ of metal oxide

Mass of 0.01502 mol of metal oxide = 2.40 g (given)

$0.01502 mol\times (2\times 55.9 g/mol+y\times 16 g/mol)=2.40 g$

y = 2.999 ≈ 3

The molecular formula of the oxide of metal be $X_2O_3$ . The balanced equation for the reaction is given by:

$X_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 3CO_2+2X$

A student carries out this chemical reaction in a beaker:

nydimaria [60]

Answer:The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

$Zn+CuCl_2\rightarrow Cu+ZnCl_2$

After the reaction between Zinc and copper(II) chloride, Zinc chloride and copper will be obtained as a product. This reaction occurs because zinc is more reactive than copper which displaces the copper from its aqueous solution.

The student will expect to find copper metal at bottom of the beaker with aqueous solution of zinc chloride.

Hence the correct answer is option (C).

When bridges are built, special joints must be used because the material of the bridge shrinks, and without these joints, the ma

marysya [2.9K]

Expansion

Explanation:

Expansion is the change is size of a body with increasing temperature and tension.

Bridges are built of iron. Iron thermally expands in the presence of increased temperature during the day. The length of the iron will increase by simple fractions. At night, when temperature drops, the bar returns back to its initial position.

The allowance for expansion of the metal is made in order to prevent tension within the structure.
Not doing this will cause the material to break since there is no free space for the bar to change shape.

How many molecules are there in 8.25 moles of CaHia?

expeople1 [14]

The number of molecules : 4.967 x 10²⁴

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

A mole is a number of particles(atoms, molecules, ions) in a substance

This refers to the atomic total of the 12 gr C-12 which is equal to 6.02.10²³, so 1 mole = 6.02.10²³ particles

Can be formulated :

N = n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = 6.02.10²³ = Avogadro's number

8.25 moles of C₈H₁₈

The number of molecules :

$\tt 8.25\times 6.02\times 10^{23}=4.967\times 10^{24}$
