How many grams are there in 3.3 moles of potassium sulfide?

The atomic mass of Potassium is 39 and that of Sulfur 32. The formula for Potassium Sulfide is K2S therefore the molecular weight of Potassium Sulfide is (39 * 2) + 32 = 110. Therefore one mole of Potassium Sulfide weighs 110 grams. Therefore 3.3 moles of Potassium Sulfide weigh 110 * 3.3 = 363 grams.


What happens if your depriveed of potassium?

you can die if you have too much potassium Your body maintains a balance of sodium and potassium for proper muscle function. When you have too much sodium, you can get muscle cramps (a typical problem many women have, prevented by eating foods high in potassium, like bananas). When you take potassium supplements (as a bodybuilder may), you will get muscle cramps from the imbalance the other way. Too much sodium or potassium can have short or long term effects on health.

Is it true that heavy consumption of salt substitutes high in potassium present a serious clinical problem when aldosterone release is not normal?

Yes. Aldosterone tells the kidneys to absorb sodium and secrete potassium. If the level or function is low high potassium can be a problem.

The inner mitochondrial membrane lacks cholesterol how does it solve the problem of regulating membrane fluidity?

Inner mitochondrial membrane lacks cholesterol so it should crystallize at physiological temperature. But it tackles with this problem by the phospholipid molecules in this membrane. The fatty acid chains of these molecules have more double bonds. These bonds help in maintaining the fluidity of the membrane

How can ice wedging be a problem for a cracked statue?

Over time it will become a problem. The time depends on your climate. If you get a lot of rain and it is cold, than yes you will have more of a problem. Water will get into the crack and freeze. When water turns into ice it expands, as it expands the crack will get a little bigger, than more water can get in, freeze and expand some more. Depending on how fast this occurs it can potentially be a problem sooner.
