Answer: We need true value to find out who is more accurate.

Explanation:

Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 3.0 kg each time. Then the measurement is very precise.

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 3.0 kg and one person weighed 3.05 kg and another person weighed 3.2 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

According to the question:

Density measured by Mary = 2.226 g /ml

Density measured by Joseph= 2.335 g /ml

As, the standard or known value is not given, we can not know which student’s value is more accurate

State the periodic law, and explain its relation to electron configuration. (Use Na and K in your explanation.)
mina [271]

Answer:

Explanation:

The period law state that when elements are listed in order of their atomic numbers, the elements fall into recurring groups, so that there is a recurrence of similar properties at regular intervals.

Na and K in the periodic table fall into the same group, this is because they both have one electrons in their outermost shell.

Na 11 -1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

K 19 - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

They share similar chemical and physical properties. Na and K are very reactive metals, they can loose/donate their outermost electron to non metals in other to attain stable octet state.

The form ionic compound when they react with non metals.

DNA transcription-to-translation # 1 Homework Unanswered Due in 4 days Given the following sequence of the coding strand, writte
uysha [10]

Explanation:

Translation is the process by which a polypeptide is polymerized from genetic information.

Firstly we have to make a transcription from the coding DNA strand to a single RNA strand (mRNA). RNA pol reads from 5' to 3' of the template strand and nucleotides are added by complementarity ( Adenine with Uracil, Thymine with Adenine and Cytosine with Guanine, Guanine with Cytosine).

DNA:  5'-  CGTTATGTGGACTCTCTGGTATGACTCACCTTAT -3'

mRNA: 5'-GCAAUACACCUGAGAGACCAUACUGAGUGGAAUA -3'

mRNA goes to the ribosomes where translation takes place. The enzyme will read every three letters (codon) starting at the start codon sequence (TAC in DNA, AUG in mRNA). According to codons tRNA carrying the amino acids will place it (by complementary to their anticodon) and the enzyme will join it to the nascent polypeptide or protein.

In order to do this we need to look up the genetic code and assign the proper amino acids.

Unfortunately the given strand does not have a start codon TAC codifying for initial methionine.

Magnesium reacts steadily with hydrochloric acid
balu736 [363]

Magnesium + Hydrocloric acid -> Magnesium chloride + hydrogen

You can observe a single displacement reaction

"Describe to show that the has formed is hydrogen"

I don't know what you mean. I can show the chemical equation though.

Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) --> MgCl 2(aq) + H 2(g)
