Answer:

  • <u><em>He must use 50g of the 12% solution and 30 g of the 20% solution.</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Explanation:

Call x the amount of <em>12% boric acid </em>solution to be used.

  • The content of acid of that is: 0.12x

Since he wants to make <em>80 grams</em> of solution, the amount of <em>20% boric acid</em> solution to be used is 80 - x.

  • The content of acid of that is{ 0.20(80 - x).

The final solution is <em>15% </em>concentrated.

  • The content of boric acid of that is 0.15 × 80 g.

Now you have can write your equation:

         0.12x+0.20(80-x)=0.15\times 80

Solve:

           0.12x + 16 - 0.20x=12\\\\-0.08x=12-16\\\\0.08x=4\\\\x=4/0.08\\\\x=50

That is 50 grams of the 12% solution of boric acid.

Calculate the amount of the 20% solution of boric acid:

         80-x=80-50=30

That is 30 grams.

Then, he must use 50g of the 12% solution and 30 g of the 20% solution.

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.

Analyses of enzymes found in the blood are used as indicators that tissue damage (heart, liver, muscle) has occurred and resulte
Reika [66]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Yes, analyses of enzymes found in the blood are used as indicators of tissue damage in the heart, liver, muscle etc has occurred. This leakage of enzymes into the bloodstream tells us whether the tissue is damaged or not. Lactate dehydrogenase is a type of enzyme which is used as indicator which is responsible for the interconverts lactate and pyruvate. The concentration of this enzyme in the blood tells us about tissue damage.

Why is the Lithium ion (Li+1) stable even though it does not have an octet?
Elan Coil [88]
I think Lithium, an alkali metal with three electrons, is also an exception to the octet rule. Lithium tends to lose one electron to take on the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas, helium, leaving it with two valence electrons. There are two ways in which atoms can satisfy the octet rule

What is the 3-dimensional orientation of a sublevel known as?
RoseWind [281]

The 3-dimensional orientation of a sublevel is known as atomic orbital.

In quantum mechanics, Atomic orbitals are locations around an atom's nucleus where electrons are most likely to be at any particular time(specific orbits). These specific orbits exist in levels and can be broken down into sublevels.

Each sublevel has an orbital and it is oriented differently in 3-dimensional space.

The atomic orbital is a mathematical function that depicts how one or two electrons in an atom behave as seen in waves.
