Chloride Content by Weight of Concrete. Q.: For corrosion protection, ACI 318-95, Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete, specifies maximum water-soluble chloride ion in concrete as percent by weight of cement. What are acceptable levels when measuring chloride-ion content in existing concreteâspecifically, by weight of the concrete sample?
Plasma membranes are selectively permeable, regulating the cellâs molecular traffic. Hydrophobic (nonpolar) molecules, such as hydrocarbons, can dissolve in the lipid bilayer and. pass through the membrane rapidly. Polar molecules, such as sugars, do not cross the membrane easily. Transport Membranes Transport proteins allow passage of hydrophilic substances across the membrane.
Therefore, things that like to dissolve in water -- such as salts -- cannot pass through the nonpolar spread of the cell membrane. However, molecules that have an oily nature, in that they are nonpolar, can, as long as they're not too big, freely pass through the cell membrane.
