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

A solution is made by dissolving 58.125 g of sample of an unknown, nonelectrolyte compound in water. The mass of the solution is
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

molecular weight (Mb) = 0.42 g/mol

Explanation:

mass sample (solute) (wb) = 58.125 g

mass sln = 750.0 g = mass solute + mass solvent

∴ solute (b) unknown nonelectrolyte compound

∴ solvent (a): water

⇒ mb = mol solute/Kg solvent (nb/wa)

boiling point:

  • ΔT = K*mb = 100.220°C ≅ 373.22 K

∴ K water = 1.86 K.Kg/mol

⇒ Mb = ? (molecular weight) (wb/nb)

⇒ mb = ΔT / K

⇒ mb = (373.22 K) / (1.86 K.Kg/mol)

⇒ mb = 200.656 mol/Kg

∴ mass solvent = 750.0 g - 58.125 g = 691.875 g = 0.692 Kg

moles solute:

⇒ nb = (200.656 mol/Kg)*(0.692 Kg) = 138.83 mol solute

molecular weight:

⇒ Mb = (58.125 g)/(138.83 mol) = 0.42 g/mol

What happens to a Lithium atom for it to become an Li+1 ion?
Maru [420]

Answer:

If an atom gains or loses an electron, it bacomes an ion. An atom that gains a negative electron, it becomes a negative ion. If it loses an electron it becomes a positive ion

Explanation:

A lithium atom has 3 protons and 3 electrons. It can lose one of its electrons, making it an ion. It now has more positive protons than electrons so it has an overall positive charge. Therefore it is a positive ion.

A fluorine atom will tend to gain, rather than lose, an electron. By gaining a negative electron, it has an overall negative charge. It has become a negative ion.
