The Atomic Number and Atomic Mass of ¹⁸O₈ are 8 and 18 respectively.

Atomic Number:
                         Atomic Number of Element is the Number of Protons contained by the Element. So, there are 8 Protons in ¹⁸O₈.

Atomic Mass:
                     Atomic Mass of Element is the total number of Protons and Neutrons present in the Nucleus of that element.
So,
                    Atomic Mass  =  # of Protons + # of Neutrons

As the Atomic mass of ¹⁸O₈ is 18 and it has 8 protons, So # of Neutrons are calculated as,

                     # of Neutrons  =  Atomic Mass - # of Protons

                     # of Neutrons  =  18 - 8

                     # of Neutrons  =  10

Result:
             In ¹⁸O₈ Number of Neutrons are 10, Number of Protons are 8.

                                             Z  =  8 , n  =  10

Okay so,

1) Translation- show the RNA strand attatching to a DNA strand with the complimentary base pairs. introns are spliced

2) mRNA leaves the cell and joins with a ribosome

3) Transcription - tRNA (clover shaped) reads each codon (triplets) which each code for an amino acid. The stop codons on the end tell the tRNA that the chain is finished

4) the sequence forms the primary structure (all peptide bonds) which determines the shape of the secondary (hyrdogen and peptide) and hence determines the shape of the tertiary structure of a protein (ionic, hydrogen, disulfide bridges and hydrophibic interactions)


Hope this helps :)

Calculate the number of moles in a 14.5 gram sample of C4H10.
cricket20 [7]
Moles= mass divided by molar mass
Molar mass= 12.01(4) + 1.01(10)
                 = 58.14g/mol

Moles=14.5g / 58.14g/mol
         =0.249

Therefore there are approx 0.249 moles in a 14.5g sample of C4H10

Complete the balanced dissociation equation for the compound below. If the compound does not dissociate, write NR after the reac
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

K₂Cr₂O₇(s) ⇒ 2 K⁺(aq) + Cr₂O₇²⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) is a strong electrolyte, that is, when dissolved in water (the medium), it dissociates in cation potassium (K⁺) and anion dichromate (Cr₂O₇²⁻). The balanced dissociation equation is:

K₂Cr₂O₇(s) ⇒ 2 K⁺(aq) + Cr₂O₇²⁻(aq)

The compound trimethylamine, (CH3)3N, is a weak base when dissolved in water. Write the Kb expression for the weak base equilibr
Zina [86]

Answer:

Kb = [OH⁻] . [C₃H₉NH⁺] / [ C₃H₉N ]

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction of trimethylamine when it is dissolved in water is:

C₃H₉N  +  H₂O ⇄ C₃H₉NH⁺ + OH⁻   Kb

1 mol of trimethylamine catches a proton from the water in order to produce trimethylamonium.

It is a base, because it give OH⁻ to the medium

Expression for Kb (Molar concentration)

Kb = [OH⁻] . [C₃H₉NH⁺] / [ C₃H₉N ]

The acid-dissociation constants of HC3H5O3 and CH3NH3+ are given in the table below. Which of the following mixtures is a buffer
sergey [27]

Answer:

A mixture of 100. mL of 0.1 M HC3H5O3 and 50. mL of NaOH

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer solution is calculated using following relation

pH=pKa+log(\frac{salt}{acid} )

Thus the pH of buffer solution will be near to the pKa of the acid used in making the buffer solution.

The pKa value of HC₃H₅O₃ acid is more closer to required pH = 4 than CH₃NH₃⁺ acid.

pKa = -log [Ka]

For HC₃H₅O₃

pKa = 3.1

For CH₃NH₃⁺

pKa = 10.64

pKb = 14-10.64 = 3.36 [Thus the pKb of this acid is also near to required pH value)

A mixture of 100. mL of 0.1 M HC3H5O3 and 50. mL of NaOH

Half of the acid will get neutralized by the given base and thus will result in equal concentration of both the weak acid and the salt making the pH just equal to the pKa value.
