Why there are only 20 amino acids, although a amino acid is coded by a single codon with three bases. That means by permutation,

3*3*3=27 amino acids must exist ??? ...?

In nature there are many more variations amino acids than the simple 20 found in humans. However, when analyzing the human genome sequence, there is a code for all 64 permutations (4^3), only some of them share amino acids. This is a safe-guard against mutations of one or two nucleotides. For example, the amino acid Alanine is coded with four different nucleotide sequences: GCA, GCC, GCG, GCU. Also some amino acids code the same like UUU &UUC

Convert 5.0x10^24 molecules to liters.
Over [174]
To convert the given value we need conversion factors to relate molecules to liters. At STP, we know that 1 mol is equal to 22.4 L  and by using Avogadro's number we can relate molecules to 1 mol. Calculation is as follows:

5.0x10^24 molecules ( 1 mol / <span>6.022 x 10^23 molecules<span> ) ( 22.4 L / 1 mol) = 186.0 L </span></span>

3. Two different compounds are formed by the elements carbon and oxygen. The first compound contains 42.9% by mass carbon and 57
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The law of multiple proportions is the third postulate of Dalton's atomic theory. It states that the masses of one element which combine with a fixed mass of the second element are in a ratio of whole numbers.

Therefore, the masses of oxygen in the two compounds that combine with a fixed mass of carbon should be in a whole number ratio. In 100 grams of the first compound (100 is chosen to make calculations easier), there are 57.1 grams oxygen and 42.9 grams carbon. The mass of oxygen (O) per gram of carbon (C) is:

57.1 g O / 42.9 g C = 1.33 g O per g C

In the 100 grams of the second compound, there are 72.7 grams of oxygen (O) and 27.3 grams of carbon (C). The mass of oxygen per gram of carbon is:

72.7 g O / 27.3 g C = 2.66 g O per g C

Dividing the mass O per g C of the second (larger value) compound:

2.66 / 1.33 = 2

This means that the masses of oxygen that combine with carbon are in a 2:1 ratio. The whole-number ratio is consistent with the law of multiple proportions.

Problem PageQuestion Acetylene gas is often used in welding torches because of the very high heat produced when it reacts with o
zlopas [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of acetylene gas needed in the reaction is 2.00 moles

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of water = 2.00 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of acetylene with oxygen gas follows:

2C_2H_2+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of water is produced by 2 moles of acetylene gas

So, 2.00 moles of water will be produced by = \frac{2}{2}\times 2.00=2.00mol of acetylene gas

Hence, the amount of acetylene gas needed in the reaction is 2.00 moles
