Answer:

The major function of DNA is to encode the sequence of amino acid residues in proteins, using the genetic code. To read the genetic code, cells make a copy of a stretch of DNA in the nucleic acid RNA.

Although Plato and Aristotle disagreed with democritus what did his theory suggest was true about all matter?

Gnesinka [82]

Democritus believed that the universe was composed of atoms, correctly, of course. However, at the time, Plato's and Aristotle's hypothesi were just as valid because everyone was a philosopher. There were no scientists back then.

A student increases the temperature of a 417cm³ balloon from 278k to 231k. Assuming constant pressure, what should the new volum

viva [34]

Charles law states that volume of gas is directly proportional to temperature at constant pressure
V/T = k
where V - volume , T - temperature and k - constant
$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$
where parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation

in the question it states that the temperature has been increased from 278 K to 231 K but it should actually be temperature is decreased from 278 K to 308 K
substituting the values in the equation
$\frac{417cm^{3} }{278K} = \frac{V}{308 K}$
V = 462 cm³
the answer should be D. 462 cm³

How many milliliters of 0.1 m hcl is required to react with 0.15g sodium carbonate (na2co3?

docker41 [41]

1) Write the balanced chemical equation

2HCl + Na2 CO3 ----------> 2NaCl + H2CO3

2) Write the molar ratios:

2 mol HCl : 1 mol Na2CO3 : 2 mol NaCl : 1 mol H2CO3

3) Convert 0.15g of sodium carbonate to number of moles

3a) Calculate the molar mass of Na2CO3

Na: 2 * 23 g/mol = 46 g/mol

C: 12 g/mol =

O: 3 * 16 g/mol = 48 g/mol

molar mass = 46g/mol + 12g/mol + 48g/mol = 106 g/mol

3b.- Calculate the number of moles of Na2CO3

# moles = grams / molar mass = 0.15 g / 106 g/mol = 0.0014 mol Na2CO3

4) Calculate the number of moles of HCl from the molar proportion:

[0.0014 mol Na2CO3] * [2 mol HCl / 1 mol Na2CO3] = 0.0028 mol HCl

5) Calculate the volume of HCl from the definition of Molarity

Molarity, M = # moles / volume in liters

=> Volume in liters = # moles / M = 0.0028 mol / 0.1 M = 0.028 liters

0.028 liters * 1000 ml / liter = 28 ml.

Answer: 28 mililiters of 0.1 M HCl.
