In the 1800s, a popular belief known as vitalism stated that life processes could not be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry,and were instead dictated by an independent life force. Which discovery most likely caused scientists to revise this hypothesis regarding the origin of life on Earth?

a. that inorganic compounds existed within live organisms

b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory

c. that RNA could serve as a template to synthesize DNA

d. that self-replicating molecules existed inside cells

Answer:

b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory

Explanation:

Vitalism is the belief that "living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things"(wikipedia).

This theory held that the molecules involved in life processes could not be synthesized in the laboratory.

All these were upturned after Fredrich Whöler's synthesis of urea in 1828. He was able to show that molecules involved in life process can also be synthesized in the laboratory. This gave rise to modern synthetic organic chemistry.

Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume of hydrogen chloride

IrinaK [193]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume of hydrogen chloride would be produced by this reaction if 1.1 mL of methane were consumed? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of hydrogen chloride produced in the reaction will be 4.4 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Volume of methane gas = 1.1 mL

The chemical equation for the reaction of methane gas and chlorine gas follows:

$CH_4(g)+4Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 4HCl(g)+CCl_4(g)$

Moles of methane gas = 1 mole

Moles of hydrogen chloride gas = 4 moles

The relationship of number of moles and volume at constant temperature and pressure was given by Avogadro's law. This law states that volume is directly proportional to number of moles at constant temperature and pressure.

The equation used to calculate number of moles is given by:

$\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}$

where,

$V_1\text{ and }n_1$ are the volume and number of moles of methane gas

$V_2\text{ and }n_2$ are the volume and number of moles of hydrogen chloride

We are given:

$V_1=1.1mL\\n_1=1mol\\V_2=?L\\n_2=4mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1.1}{1}=\frac{V_2}{4}\\\\V_2=\frac{1.1\times 4}{1}=4.4mL$

Hence, the volume of hydrogen chloride produced in the reaction will be 4.4 mL

A 4.86-gram sample of calcium reacted completely with oxygen to form 6.80 grams of calcium oxide. This reaction is represented b

sesenic [268]

The number of mole of Ca reacted is:
4.86 g Ca/ (40.08 g/mol Ca)= 0.121 mol Ca

Because Ca reacted completely with oxygen and there is 2 mol Ca, there is 1 mol O2 reacted.

Total mass of oxygen that reacted is:
0.121 mol Ca* (1mol O2/ 2 mol Ca)* (32 g O2/ 1 mol O2)= 1.94 g O2 reacted.

Hope this would help~

If one or more nucleotide pairs are deleted from a dna strand, this is known as a:_________

Leya [2.2K]

If one or more nucleotide pairs are deleted from a DNA strand, this is known as a frameshift mutation

<h3>Define Frameshift Mutation</h3>

Insertions or deletions in the genome that are not multiples of three nucleotides are referred to as frameshift mutations. They are a particular class of insertion-deletion (indel) alterations that are present in polypeptides' coding sequences. Here, there are no multiples of three in the number of nucleotides that are added to or subtracted from the coding sequence. They may result from really basic alterations like the insertion or deletion of a single nucleotide.

<h3>Frameshift mutations' effects</h3>

One of the most harmful modifications to a protein's coding sequence is a frameshift mutation. They are quite prone to produce non-functional proteins that frequently interfere with a cell's metabolic processes and result in significant alterations to polypeptide length and chemical makeup. Frameshift mutations can cause the mRNA to stop translating too soon and create an extended polypeptide.
