The atomic number of an atom is equal to the amount of protons the atom has, and the mass number is equal to the sum of the protons and neutrons. Therefore:

let protons = p
let neutrons = n                                                  
let atomic mass = a

P+N=A 
15+n=31
n=16

There are 16 neutrons in this atom.

The normal boiling point of a substance is defined to be the temperature at which the liquid phase of the substance is in equili
boyakko [2]

Answer:

ΔSv = 0.1075 KJ/mol.K

Explanation:

Binary solution:

∴ a: solvent

∴ b: solute

in equilibrium:

  • μ*(g) = μ(l) = μ* +RTLnXa....chemical potential (μ)

⇒ Ln (1 - Xb) = ΔG/RT

∴ ΔG = ΔHv - TΔSv

⇒ Ln(1 -Xb) = ΔHv/RT - ΔSv/R

∴ Xb → 0:

⇒ Ln(1) = ΔHv/RT - ΔSv/R

∴ T = T*b....normal boiling point

⇒ 0 = ΔHv/RT*b - ΔSv/R

⇒ ΔSv = (R)(ΔHv/RT*b)

⇒ ΔSv = ΔHv/T*b

∴ T*b = 80°C ≅ 353 K

⇒ ΔSv = (38 KJ/mol)/(353 K)

⇒ ΔSv = 0.1075 KJ/mol.K

What is the significance of molecular formula​
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The molecular formula of a compound represents molecular mass of the substance. For example, the molecular mass of water molecule (H2O) is 18u.

(iv) The molecular formula of any compound gives the name, and actual number of atoms of each kind present in one molecule of the substance. For example, the formula for water is H2O. This means that every molecule of water is made up of 2 atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

Question #1: Identify the type of Mutation below
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Deletion

Explanation:

A mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence. This means that the original sequence of bases in the DNA has been altered permanently.

There are three types of DNA mutations;  base substitutions, deletions and insertions.

In the particular case of this question, the original is TTCGATA while the copy is TTGATA. If you look closely at the two, you will notice that the C has been omitted. This is an example of  deletion.
