If one or more nucleotide pairs are deleted from a DNA strand, this is known as a frameshift mutation

<h3>Define Frameshift Mutation</h3>

Insertions or deletions in the genome that are not multiples of three nucleotides are referred to as frameshift mutations. They are a particular class of insertion-deletion (indel) alterations that are present in polypeptides' coding sequences. Here, there are no multiples of three in the number of nucleotides that are added to or subtracted from the coding sequence. They may result from really basic alterations like the insertion or deletion of a single nucleotide.

<h3>Frameshift mutations' effects</h3>

One of the most harmful modifications to a protein's coding sequence is a frameshift mutation. They are quite prone to produce non-functional proteins that frequently interfere with a cell's metabolic processes and result in significant alterations to polypeptide length and chemical makeup. Frameshift mutations can cause the mRNA to stop translating too soon and create an extended polypeptide.

Using VSEPR theory which of the following would be the correct shape for nitrogen trifluoride?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

trigonal pyramidal

Explanation:

In NF3, the nitrogen atom is sp3 hybridized. Now we must remember that according to the VSEPR theory, the number of electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule determines its shape.

Here, the nitrogen atom is the central atom and its outermost shell is surrounded by four electron pairs - one lone pair and three bond pairs. This means that it has a tetrahedral electron pair geometry.

However, due to the lone pair, the three fluorine atoms are arranged in a  trigonal pyramidal geometry. Hence the correct shape of the molecule is trigonal pyramidal.

Answer:

a. The limiting reactant is Ca(OH)₂

b. The theoretical yield of CaCl₂ is approximately 621.488 grams

c. The percentage yield of CaCl₂ is approximately 47.06%

Explanation:

a. The given chemical reaction is presented as follows;

Ca(OH)₂ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + 2H₂O

Therefore;

One mole of Ca(OH)₂ reacts with two moles of HCl to produce one mole of CaCl₂ and two moles of water H₂O

The mass of HCl in an experiment, m₁ = 229.70 g

The mass of Ca(OH)₂ in an experiment, m₂ = 207.48 g

The molar mass of HCl, MM₁ = 36.458 g/mol

The molar mass of Ca(OH)₂, MM₂ =74.093 g/mol

The number of moles of HCl, present, n₁ = m₁/MM₁

∴ n₁ = m₁/MM₁ = 229.70 g/(36.458 g/mol) ≈ 6.3 moles

The number of moles of Ca(OH)₂, present, n₂ = m₂/MM₂

∴ n₂ = m₂/MM₂ = 207.48 g/(74.093 g/mol) ≈ 2.8 moles

The number of moles of Ca(OH)₂, present, n₂ = 2.8 moles

According the chemical reaction equation the number of moles of HCl the 2.8 moles of Ca(OH)₂ will react with, = 2.8 × 2 moles = 5.6 moles of HCl

Therefore, there is an excess HCl in the reaction and Ca(OH)₂ is the limiting reactant

b. According the chemical reaction equation the number of moles of CaCl₂ produced in he reaction by the 2.8 moles of Ca(OH)₂ = 2.8 × 2 moles = 5.6 moles of CaCl₂

The molar mass of CaCl₂ = 110.98 g/mol

The mass of the 5.6 moles of CaCl₂ = 5.6 moles × 110.98 g/mol ≈ 621.488 grams

The theoretical yield of CaCl₂ ≈ 621.488 grams

c. Given that the actual mass of CaCl₂ produced = 292.5 grams, we have;

The percentage yield of CaCl₂ = The actual yield/(The theoretical yield) × 100

∴ The percentage yield of CaCl₂ = (292.5 g)/(621.488 g) × 100 ≈ 47.0644646397%

The percentage yield of CaCl₂ ≈ 47.06%.

Answer : The mass of nitric acid is, 214.234 grams.

Solution : Given,

Moles of nitric acid = 3.4 moles

Molar mass of nitric acid = 63.01 g/mole

Formula used :

\text{Mass of }HNO_3=\text{Moles of }HNO_3\times \text{Molar mass of }HNO_3

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the mass of nitric acid.

\text{Mass of }HNO_3=(3.4moles)\times (63..01g/mole)=214.234g

Therefore, the mass of nitric acid is, 214.234 grams.
