What's the direction sodium ions are pumped?
Sodium ions and potassium ions are pumped in opposite directions. Sodium ions are pumped out of the cell and potassium ions are pumped into the cell.
Which ions are exchanged in a sodium potassium pump?
3 sodium ions for 2 potassium ions.
Why the barium ions are fast moving than sodium ions?
Sodium ion is more hydrated than barium ion hence ionic mobility is less. Note that smaller ions with greater charge density gets more hydrated
How many sodium ions there in 85g of sodium oxide Na2O?
The number of sodium ions is 16,518.10e23.
Can liquid electrolyte which does not have sodium molecules conduct sodium ions?
no liquid electrolyte which does not have sodium molecules conduct sodium ions because when liquid electrolyte does not have sodium molecules . so there r no sodium molecules and hence there r no any sodium ions. so how can liquid electrolyte conduct sodium ions.
Sodium chloride is formed from ions and chloride?
Not quite right. Sodium chloride is formed from sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-)
Which form of sodium is more commonly found in nature sodium ion or sodium atoms?
The ions of course, due to its high reactivity
Does sodium ions plus chloride ions equal sodium chloride?
Yes, sodium chloride is NaCl.
How does the strength of the attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions compare with the strength of the attraction between the sodium ions and chloride ions?
Attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions OSS less than the attraction between sodium ions and chloride ions.
How can you describe the arrangement of sodium ions and chloride ions in a crystal of sodium ions?
The lattice of sodium chloride is face-centered cubic. The chloride ion is surrounded by six sodium cations.
What is a brief description of the action of the sodium-potassium pump?
The sodium-potassium pump is a transmembrane protein in a cell membrane. It keeps large concentrations of sodium ions outside the cell, and potassium ions inside the cell. It does this by pumping the sodium ions out, and the potassium ions in.
Is NaHCO3 a metal?
No. Sodium bicarbonate is an ionic compound consisting of sodium ions, hydrogen ions and carbonate ions. While sodium is a metal, the compound in whole is not.
