Answer:
mass of X extracted from the aqueous solution by 50 cm³ of ethoxy ethane = 3.33 g
Explanation:
The partition coefficient of X between ethoxy ethane (ether) and water, K is given by the formula
K = concentration of X in ether/concentration of X in water
Partition coefficient, K(X) between ethoxy ethane and water = 40
Concentration of X in ether = mass(g)/volume(dm³)
Mass of X in ether = m g
Volume of ether = 50/1000 dm³ = 0.05 dm³
Concentration of X in ether = (m/0.05) g/dm³
Concentration of X in water = mass(g)/volume(dm³)
Mass of X in water left after extraction with ether = (5 - m) g
Volume of water = 1 dm³
Concentration of X in water = (5 - m/1) g/dm³
Using K = concentration of X in ether/concentration of X in water;
40 = (m/0.05)/(5 - m)
(m/0.05) = 40 × (5 - m)
(m/0.05) = 200 - 40m
m = 0.05 × (200 - 40m)
m = 10 - 2m
3m = 10
m = 10/3
m = 3.33 g of X
Therefore, mass of X extracted from the aqueous solution by 50 cm³ of ethoxy ethane = 3.33 g
Answer:
1. C- Three.
2. A- Methionine
3. D- Translocation.
4. C- OH.
5. A - 5'
6. A - 3' carbon
7. A. adenine and guanine
Explanation:
1. A codon is a group of three nucleotide sequence that encodes or specifies an amino acid. This means that, during translation (second stage of gene expression), when a CODON is read, an amino acid is added to the growing peptide chain.
2. The codon that initiates the translation process is called a start codon. It has a sequence: AUG and it specifies Methionine amino acid. Hence, during translation where a tRNA binds to the mRNA codon to read it and add its corresponding amino acid, a tRNA with a complementary sequence of AUG (start codon) binds to it and carries Methionine amino acid.
3. Translocation is a process during translation whereby the mRNA-tRNA moeity moves forward in the ribosome to allow another codon to move into the vacant site for translation process to continue.
4. The sugar component of a nucelotide that makes up the nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) i.e. ribose or deoxyribose, contains an hydroxyll functional group (-OH).
5. A nucleotide consists of a pentose (five carbon) sugar, phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The phosphate group (PO43-) is attached to the 5' carbon of the sugar molecule.
6. The free hydroxyll group (-OH) of the five carbon sugar molecule in DNA is attached to its 3' carbon.
7. Nitrogenous bases are the third component of a nucleotide, the other two being pentose sugar and phosphate group. The nitrogenous bases are four viz: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. These bases are classified into Purines and Pyrimidines based on the similarity in their structure. Adenine (A) and Guanine (G) are Purines because they possess have two carbon-nitrogen rings, as opposed to one possessed by Pyrimidines (Thymine and Cytosine).
