Answer:

a. The apparatus required to purify gypsum sample are: Bunsen burner, beaker, Filter Funnel, stirring rod, the filter paper.

b. Gypsum is a sulfate mineral that is made up of calcium sulfate dihydrate. Step-by-step instruction to purify gypsum sample is as follows:

1. Add water to the gypsum sample in a beaker.

2. Use the stirring rod to mix the mixture well.

3. Filter off the excess solid from the mixture using the filter paper and filter funnel.

4. Put the filtered mixture over the bunsen burner and evaporate the excess water from the mixture.

5. Allow the hot liquid to cool down and filter it again through the filter paper to get the pure gypsum.

Answer is: pH value of solution of NaC₂H₃O₂ is 9.07.
Chemical reaction: C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + OH⁻.
Ka(HC₂H₃O₂) = 1,8·10⁻⁵.
Ka · Kb = Kw.
1,8·10⁻⁵ mol/dm³ · Kb = 1·10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶; the ionic product of water at 25°C.
Kb(C₂H₃O₂⁻) = 1·10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶ ÷ 1,8·10⁻⁵ mol/dm³.
Kb(C₂H₃O₂⁻) = 5,56·10⁻¹⁰ mol/dm³.
c(C₂H₃O₂⁻) = 0,25 M.
[OH⁻] = [HC₂H₃O₂] = x.
[C₂H₃O₂⁻] = 0,25 M - x.
Kb = [OH⁻] · [HC₂H₃O₂] / [C₂H₃O₂⁻].
5,56·10⁻¹⁰ = x² / (0,25 M -x).
Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH⁻] = 0,0000118 M.
pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(0,0000118M) = 4,93.
pH + pOH = 14.
pH = 14 - 4,93 = 9,07.

Assume that a point mutation changes the codon AUU to AUC. Why is this a neutral mutation

lukranit [14]

I used the genetic code table. mRNA codon ===> amino acid

1st base 2nd base 3rd base
A U U ===> Isoleucine
A U C ===> Isoleucine

The point mutation of codon AUU to AUC is a neutral mutation because it neither benefits nor deter the ability of the organism to survive and reproduce.

As you can see, Both codons result to the Isoleucine amino acid.

Another codon that will still result to the Isoleucin amino acid is AUA.
