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

The density (g/L) of CO2 gas at STP ( 273 K, 1.00 atm) is
Triss [41]

The density : 1.96 g/L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Ideal gas Law

Pv=nRT

where  

P = pressure, atm , N/m²  

V = volume, liter  

n = number of moles  

R = gas constant = 0.082 l.atm / mol K (P= atm, v= liter),or 8,314 J/mol K (P=Pa or N/m², v= m³)  

T = temperature, Kelvin  

so for density,

MW CO₂ = 44 g/mol

\tt \rho=\dfrac{P\times MW}{RT}\\\\\rho=\dfrac{1\times 44}{0.082\times 273}\\\\\rho=1.96~g/L

If one of the reactants in a reaction is Na2O, what is known about the products?
const2013 [10]

D. The products will have at least 2 Na atoms and 1 O atom.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

If we refer to the law of mass conservation, which states that

<em>In a closed system, the masses before and after the reaction are the same </em>

then the number of atoms in the reactance will be the same as the number of atoms in the product

In this problem it is known that Na₂O is one of the reactants so that the product of Na atoms and O atoms will at least equal the number of atoms in the bond, namely 2 Na and 1 O

Like an example of this Na₂O reaction:

Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ 2 NaOH

Na : left =2, right = 2

O : left=2, right = 2

Describe the ammonium ion, NH4+, and the sulfate ion, SO42-. What compounds would these ions form with potassium and fluoride io
frozen [14]
<span>Cations mix with anions, so you know NH4+ won't mix with K+ and SO4(2-) won't miix with F-. For the reason that NH4+ and F- together have single charges, they'll mix in a 1:1 ratio, NH4F. There's two charges on SO4(2-), so it'll need two K+ to mix with, K2SO4.</span>
