What is the name of Na3PO3?

The compound with formula Na3PO4 is named "sodium phosphate", "trisodium phosphate", "sodium ortho-phosphate", or "trisodium ortho-phosphate".


The phosphate heads of a phospholipid are what?

The phosphate heads of a phospholipid are hydrophilic, meaning they are attracted to water. This positioning on the outside of the lipid bilayer allows them to interact with the watery environment both inside and outside the cell.


What is the compound formules for sodium phosphate?

Sodium phosphate is a generic term for the salts of sodium hydroxide and phosphoric acid (soluble in water). They are:sodium dihydrogen phosphate, commonly termed monosodium phosphate, (NaH2PO4), is also known as "sodium phosphate, monobasic".disodium hydrogen phosphate, commonly termed disodium phosphate, (Na2HPO4) is also known as "sodium phosphate, dibasic".Trisodium phosphate, commonly shortened to just sodium phosphate, (Na3PO4), is also known as "sodium phosphate, tribasic".sodium aluminium phosphate, (Na8Al2(OH)2(PO4)4).


How much phosphate meq is in sodium phosphate?

Sodium phosphate is available in different forms with varying amounts of phosphate. A common form, monobasic sodium phosphate, contains about 1.3 milliequivalents (meq) of phosphate per milligram of sodium phosphate. In a different form, dibasic sodium phosphate, there are about 2.16 meq of phosphate per milligram of sodium phosphate.


What molecules with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group that form biological membranes?

Phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, are molecules with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group that are essential components of biological membranes. They have a hydrophilic head (containing the phosphate group) and hydrophobic tails (the fatty acid chains), allowing them to form the lipid bilayer structure of cell membranes.
