If you count the methionine expressed for the start codon as part of the precursor protein, then (81+1)*3. (The start codon is expressed, but the stop codon isn't.)

Answer:

246 amino bases

Explanation:

An amino acid is coded by three bases. However, in a DNA molecule, there is coding that takes place. In DNA replication, the start and stop codons are not expressed during the formation of the double helix. Hence, an extra amino acid will be needed. In fact, this can be expressed mathematically like this:

Number of bases = (n+1) * 3

where n is the number of amino acid residues. Therefore, taking 81 amino acid residues yields:

                 N = (81+ 1) * 3\\246

Therefore, the least number of bases needed will be 246

Write the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by each:
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Part A:

Charge is P^{3-}

Configuration is 1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^6

Part B:

Charge is Mg^{2+}

Configuration is 1s^2 2s^22p^6

Part C:

Charge is Se^{2-}

Configuration is 1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6

Explanation:

Monatomic ions:

These ions consist of only one atom. If they have more than one atom then they are poly atomic ions.

Examples of Mono Atomic ions: Na^+, Cl^-, Ca^2^+

Part A:

For P:

Phosphorous (P) has 15 electrons so it require 3 more electrons to stabilize itself.

Charge is P^{3-}

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^6

Part B:

For Mg:

Magnesium (Mg) has 12 electrons so it requires 2 electrons to lose to achieve stable configuration.

Charge is Mg^{2+}

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

1s^2 2s^22p^6

Part C:

For Se:

Selenium (Se) has 34 electrons and requires two electrons to be stable.

Charge is Se^{2-}

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6

4. Assuming the reaction below is at equilibrium, which of the following changes will drive the reaction to the left? C(s) + O2(
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Increasing temperature

Explanation:

C(s) + O_2(g) \leftrightharpoons CO_2(g)

Enthalpy of the reaction = -393.5 kJ/mol

Negative sign implies that reaction is exothermic.

Effect of change in reaction condition is explained by Le chateliers principle.

According to Le chateliers principle, if the reaction conditions of a reversible reaction in a state of dynamic equilibirum is changed, the reaction will move in a direction to counteract the change.

1. Increasing the temperature

Forward reaction is exothermic that means temperature increases in forward direction. Backward reaction will be endothermic and so there is decrease in temperature in backward direction or in left direction.

On increasing temperature, reaction will be move in direction to counteract the increased temperature, therefore reaction will move in left direction.

2. Adding O2

If O2 is added, then reaction will move in a direction in which its get consumed. So, reaction will move in forward direction or in right direction.

3. Removing C (s)

Le Chatelier's principle does not apply on solids, so removal of C(s) does not affect the equilibrium.
