How does transcription work

1 answer:

8 0

“Transcription takes place in the cytoplasm (prokaryote) or in the nucleus (eukaryote). The transcription is performed by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. ... Binds these new RNA nucleotides together to form a complementary copy of the DNA strand (mRNA) Stops when it encounters a termination sequence of bases (stop codon)”

Hope this helped.

What can we do to fix the climate in greenland?

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Greenland is a huge island that is covered with ice, due to warming this ice has begun to melt, reaching a point where more ice is lost per year than is gained.

The temperature levels on earth have increased abnormally since the industrial revolution, that is since CO2 emissions increased. The extra CO2 released into the atmosphere does not allow the heat generated from the earth to be released into space, so the earth has begun to heat up more than normal, causing temperatures to rise.

To avoid this, CO2 emissions should be reduced, this could be achieved by using clean energy to generate electricity, such as solar or wind energy. Also if industries improve their processes to reduce the CO2 they produce. Another way is to reduce livestock farming as this industry also releases high amounts of CO2.

As individuals, from our homes what we can do is to reduce energy consumption if it is generated with fossil fuels, for example turn off the lights if we are not in the rooms, unplug appliances that we are not using, do not use products that come from polluting industries, among others.

A rigid tank contains 0.66 mol of oxygen (O2). Find the mass of oxygen that must be withdrawn from the tank to lower the pressur

dsp73

Answer:

12.8 g of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn from tank

Explanation:

Let's assume $O_{2}$ gas inside tank behaves ideally.

According to ideal gas equation- $PV=nRT$

where P is pressure of $O_{2}$ , V is volume of $O_{2}$ , n is number of moles of $O_{2}$ , R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin scale.

We can also write, $\frac{V}{RT}=\frac{n}{P}$

Here V, T and R are constants.

So, $\frac{n}{P}$ ratio will also be constant before and after removal of $O_{2}$ from tank

Hence, $\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}=\frac{n_{after}}{P_{after}}$

Here, $\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}=\frac{0.66mol}{43atm}$ and $P_{after}=17atm$

So, $n_{after}=\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}\times P_{after}=\frac{0.66mol}{43atm}\times 17atm=0.26mol$

So, moles of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn = (0.66 - 0.26) mol = 0.40 mol

Molar mass of $O_{2}$ = 32 g/mol

So, mass of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn = $(32\times 0.40)g=12.8g$

Picric acid has been used in the leather industry and in etching copper. However, its laboratory use has been restricted because

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

0.3023 M

Explanation:

Let Picric acid = $H_{picric}$

So, $H_{picric}$ + $H_2}O$ ⇄ $H_3}O^+$ + $Picric^-$

The ICE table can be given as:

$H_{picric}$ + $H_2}O$ ⇄ $H_3}O^+$ + $Picric^-$

Initial: 0.52 0 0

Change: - x + x + x

Equilibrium: 0.52 - x + x + x

Given that;

acid dissociation constant ( $K_a$ ) = 0.42

$K_a = \frac{[H_3O^+][Picric^-]}{H_{picric}}$

$0.42 = \frac{[x][x]}{0.52-x}}$

$0.42 = \frac{[x]^2}{0.52-x}}$

0.42(0.52-x) = x²

0.2184 - 0.42x = x²

x² + 0.42x - 0.2184 = 0 -------------------- (quadratic equation)

Using the quadratic formula;

$\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ ; ( where +/- represent ± )

= $\frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt{(0.42)^2-4(1)(-0.2184)} }{2*1}$

= $\frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt {0.1764+0.8736} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.42+\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}$ OR $\frac{-0.42-\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.42+1.0245}{2}$ OR $\frac{-0.42-1.0245}{2}$

= $\frac{0.6045}{2}$ OR $-\frac{1.4445}{2}$

= 0.30225 OR - 0.72225

So, we go by the +ve integer that says:

x = 0.30225

x = [ $H_3}O^+$ ] = [ $Picric^-$ ] = 0.3023 M

∴ the value of [H3O+] for an 0.52 M solution of picric acid = 0.3023 M (to 4 decimal places).

What is the mass of 2.9 moles of calcium? Explain please

Alik [6]

Answer:

116 g

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of mole of calcium = 2.9 moles

Mass of calcium =.?

The mole and mass of a substance are related according to the following formula:

Mole = mass / molar mass

With the above formula, we can obtain the mass of calcium. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of mole of calcium = 2.9 moles

Molar mass of calcium = 40 g/mol

Mass of calcium =.?

Mole = mass / molar mass

2.9 = mass of calcium / 40

Cross multiply

Mass of calcium = 2.9 × 40

Mass of calcium = 116 g

Therefore, the mass of 2.9 moles of calcium is 116 g.
