[Ca2+] within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is 10-3M. Cytosolic [Ca2+] is 10-7M. Lysosomes in mammalian cells have an internal

pH of 4.0. Cytosolic pH of a typical mammalian cell is 7.0. Which transport reaction has a greater (more positive) Delta Gc, H+ import into lysosomes or Ca2+import into the ER?A. H+ import into the lysosome because it has the steeper concentration gradient.B. Ca2+ import into the ER because it has the steeper concentration gradient.C. H+ import into the lysosome because it is a monovalent cation.D. Ca2+ import into the ER because it is a divalent cation.E. Delta Gc is the same for both ions because their concentration gradients are the same.

Answer:

B. Ca2+ import into the ER because it has the steeper concentration gradient

Explanation:

ΔGt =  RT㏑(C₂/C₁)

where ΔGt is the free energy change for transport; R = 8.315 J/mol; T = 298 K; C₂/C₁ is ratio of concentrations inside and outside each organelle.

For Ca²⁺ import

ΔGt = 8.315 J/mol * 298 K * ㏑(10⁻³/10⁻⁷)

ΔGt= 3.42 kJ/mol

For H⁺ import

ΔGt = 8.315 J/mol * 298 K * ㏑ (10⁻⁴/10⁻⁷)

ΔGt = 2.73 kJ/mol

From the above values, ΔGt is greater for Ca²⁺ import because it has a steeper concentration gradient

How many grams of chromium metal are plated out when a constant current of 8.00 a is passed through an aqueous solution containi
Oliga [24]
We can solve this without a concrete formula through dimensional analysis. This works by manipulating the units such that you end up with the unit of the final answer. Manipulate them by cancelling units that appear both in the numerator and denominator side. As a result, we must be left with the units of g. The current in A or amperes is equivalent to amount of Coulombs per second. Since this involves Coulombs, we will use the Faraday's constant which is 96,500 C/mol electron. The reaction is:

Cr³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻ --> Cr(s)

This means that for every 3 moles of electron transferred, 1 mole of Chromium metal is plated. The molar mass of Cr: 52 g/mol. The solution is as follows:

Mass of Chromium metal = (8 C/s)(60 s/1 min)(160 min)(1 mol e⁻/96,500 C)(1 mol Cr/3 mol e)(52 g/mol)
<em>Mass of Chromium metal = 13.79 g</em>

How many moles of carbon are in 7.87x10^7 carbon molecules?
zaharov [31]
There are 6.022*10^23 molecules in 1 mole of carbon
So how many will moles will be 7.87*20^7?
Let the required number of moles be ‘x’.
1 mole ———6.022*10^23
x moles———7.87*10^7
(Cross multiplication)
x=7.87*10^7/6.022*10^23
Therefore x=1.3*10^-16

How many atoms of zirconium are in 0.3521 mol of zirconium?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

2.12×10²³ atoms.

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ atoms. This simply means that 1 mole of zirconium also 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Thus, we can obtain the number of atoms present in 0.3521 mole of zirconium as follow:

1 mole of zirconium also 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, 0.3521 mole of zirconium will contain = 0.3521 × 6.02×10²³ = 2.12×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, 0.3521 mole of zirconium contains 2.12×10²³ atoms.

Looking at the same nonmetal group on the periodic table, how does the reactivity of an element in period 2 compare to the react
Bas_tet [7]

Answer : Option B) The period 2 element would be more reactive because the attractive force of protons is stronger when electrons are attracted to a closer electron shell.

Explanation : The reactivity of the Periods decreases as we go from left to right across a period. The farther to the left and down the periodic chart we go, the easier it is for electrons to be donated or taken away, resulting in higher reactivities of the elements. The attractive force of the protons is found to be stronger when electrons are found to be attracted to a closer electron shell.

vredina [299]

Answer:

HCH_{3}SO_{2}

H_{3}PO_{3}

HClO_{2}

Explanation:

Every acid (HA) tends to disolve into proton (H^{+}) and anion (A^{-}) in aqueous solution. Acid strength can be determined by measuring this tendency to separate into proton an anion. Strength of an acid can be quantified by its acid dissociation value - Ka. A strong acid will have a tendency to easily release proton and will have larger Ka value and smaller logarithmic value (pKa = - logKa) similar to calculating pH of the solution. So the easiest way to resolve this issue is by looking for Ka or pKa value of the acid (This table may be useful in more complex tasks and is attached below). However, stronger acid can be determined elsehow.

a) Carbon is element 14 with 4 valent electrons and sulfur is element 16 with 6 valence electrons. Thus, sulfur has stronger electronegativity (tendency to attract bonded electrons towards itself). This means that sulfur will hold oxygen tighter to itself so the hydrogen bond to it can be more easily separated from it. HCH_{3}SO_{2} is more acidic in aqueous solution.

b) In H_{3}PO_{4}, phosphorus holds one double bond with oxygen and three OH group equally. To show an acidic tendency, phosphorus would need to let go one hydrogen out of one of OH groups. In H_{3}PO_{3}, phosporus holds two double bong with oxygen, one OH and one hydrogen, all single and lonely, ready to leave phosphorus and show acidic characteristics in aqueous solution. Thus, H_{3}PO_{3} is more acidic compound.

C) In all Cl acids, the electron density is placed around Cl so the more oxygen around Cl, the more acidic will be the chemical. This is comparable to an oxidation state - the bigger oxidation state, the stronger acid will be:

HClO_{4}  ^{+7} >HClO_{3}^{+5} >HClO_{2}^{+3} >HClO_{}^{+1}

HClO_{2} can reasonably be expected to be more acidic in aqueous solution.
