This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The area of the gold electrodes on the quartz crystal microbalance at the opening of Chapter 2 is 3.3 mm^2. One gold electrode is covered with DNA at a surface density of 1.2 pmol/cm2.

(a) How much mass of the nucleotide cytosine (C) is bound to the surface of the electrode when each bound DNA is elongated by one unit of C. The mass formula mass of the bound nucleotide is cytosine + deoxyribose + phosphate = C9H10N3O6P = 287.2 g/mol

Answer: mass of the nucleotide (c) bound is 11.37 g

Explanation:

Given that the area of gold electrodes = 3.3 mm^2

surface density of one gold electrode = 1.2 pmol/cm^2

that is to that in every 1 cm^2 of area, 1.2 pmol DNA is present

therefore

mass of nucleotide present in 3.3 mm^2 is;

= (1.2/100 * 3.3) pmol

= 0.0396 pmol

we were given that formula mass of the bound nucleotide = 287.2 g/mol

so

mass of the nucleotide (c) bound = ( 287.2 * 0.0396 )g

mass of the nucleotide (c) bound =  11.37 g

a radiator is filled with a mixture of 3.25kg ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) in 7.75kg of water. calculate the molality of this questi
Vladimir [108]
3.25 kg in g = 3.25 * 1000 = 3250 g

Molar mass C₂H₆O₂ =  62.0 g/mol

Mass solvent = 7.75 kg

Number of moles:

n = mass solute / molar mass

n = 3250  / 62.0 

n = 52.419 moles

Molality = moles of solute / kilograms of solvent

M = 52.419 / 7.75

M = 6.7637 mol/kg

hope this helps!

The properties of two elements are listed below. Element Atomic radius (pm) Ionic radius (pm) First ionization energy (kJ/mol) E
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

K will give up an electron more easily than Br.

Explanation:

Electronegativity of an element is a property that combines the ability of its atom to lose and gain electrons.

The lower the electronegativity value, the more electropositive an element is and the more readily it loses electrons.

From the data given, we see that Br has an E.N value of 3.0 and K has an E.N value of 0.82.

Therefore, Br is highly electronegative and it is able to attract electrons to itself whereas K has a low E.N value. K will give up electrons more readily.

Lookinf at other information in the table, the larger atomic radius and lower ionizaton energy of K are all pointers to how readily it would be able to lose electrons.

We can conclude that K is even a metal.

Name two hormones produced by the endocrine system and describe how they work with other organ systems to maintain homeostasis
Annette [7]
The 2 hormones are insulin & glucagon.

A hormone will only act on a part of the body it 'fits'. A hormone can be thought of as a key, and its target site ( i.e an organ) has specially shaped locks on the cell walls. 
If the hormone fits, then it will work.

The hormone can set off a cascade of other singling pathways in the cell to cause an immediate effect ( for instance, insulin signaling leads to a rapid uptake of glucose in muscle cells)

The endocrine system is a tightly regulated system that keeps the hormones and their effects at just the right level. One way this is achieved is through ' feedback loops'. The release of hormones is regulated by other hormones, proteins or neuronal signals.

The released hormone then has its effect on other organs. This effect on the organ feeds back to the original signal to control any further hormone release.
