Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to Bronsted and Lowry, acids are the species which dissociate in water to give hydrogen ions.

Whereas bases are the species which dissociate into water to give hydroxide ions.

Also, like dissolves like. So, when an acid is polar in nature and dissolved in water then it will completely dissociate into ions.

As a result, it will tend to donate hydrogen ions into the solution.

For example, HCl \rightarrow H^{+} + Cl^{-}

Thus, we can conclude that an acid is a polar substance that dissolves in water and donates hydrogen ions to the solution.

Answer: d. donates hydrogen ions to the solution

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius concept, a base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions (OH^-) when dissolved in water and an acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ions (H^+) in water.

HX\rightarrow H^++X^-

BOH\rightarrow B^++OH^-

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

Thus an acid is a polar substance that dissolves in water and donates hydrogen ions to the solution.

Based on solubility rules what ions in water might interfere with the analysis of calcium ions by precipitation of calcium carbo
Pavlova-9 [17]
First, we must know what happens in the precipitation reaction. This type of reaction is a double replacement reactions. It is consists of two reactant compounds which interchange cations and anions to form two products. One of the products is an insoluble solid called a precipitate. For the precipitation of CaCO₃, there are two consecutive reactions involved:

1. Slaking of quicklime, CaO
    CaO + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂

2. Precipitation
    Ca(OH)₂ + CO₂ ⇒ CaCO₃ + H₂O

The ions that make up the H₂O molecule are H⁺ and OH⁻. According to solubility rules, the cation (positively charged ion) is likely to be attracted to an anion (negatively charged ion). Together, they form an ionic bond. This type of bond is when there is a complete transfer of electrons between the two. The Ca²⁺ cation lacks 2 electrons, while the anion OH⁻ has an excess 1 electron. In order to be stable, 1 Ca²⁺ ion and 2 OH⁻ ions must combine.

Therefore, the answer is OH⁻ ion.

The anticodons corresponding to the codons on the mRNA (from part A) is 5' CGA - AAA - GUU 3'.

<h3>What are anticodons?</h3>

Anticodons are nucleotide sequences on tRNA molecules that are complementary to the codons found on mRNA molecules.

The anticodons on tRNA molecules determine the amino acid that is carried by the tRNA.

Just like codons, anticodons occur in triplets of nucleotide sequences.

Considering the codons on the mRNA molecule:

3’ GCT | TTT | CAA | AAA ’5

The complementary anticodon will be:

5' CGA - AAA - GUU 3'
