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).

Calculate the number of grams of oxygen gas in a 24L container at STP

romanna [79]

There are 34 g of oxygen in the container.

We can use the<em> Ideal Gas Law</em> to solve this problem.

$pV = nRT$

But $n = \frac{m}{M}$ , so

$pV = \frac{m}{M}RT$ and

$m = \frac{pVM}{RT}\\$

STP is 0 °C and 1 bar, so

$m = \frac{\text{1 bar} \times \text{24 L} \times 32.00 \text{ g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}}{\text{0.083 14 } \text{bar}\cdot\text{L}\cdot\text{K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\times\text{273.15 K} } = \textbf{34 g}\\$

Which of the following gases effuses the fastest at a given temperature?

Sholpan [36]

Answer: -

H₂ will diffuse the fastest.

Explanation: -

According to Graham's Law of Diffusion

The rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of it's density or molar mass. So the lower the molar mass faster the rate of diffusion.

Molar mass of Ne = 20 g / mol

Molar mass of CH₄ = 12 x 1 + 1 x 4 = 16 g /mol

Molar mass of Ar = 40g / mol

Molar mass of H₂ = 1 x 2 = 2 g / mol

Thus H₂ will diffuse the fastest.

Balance the following skeleton reactions and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents:(b) CrO₄²⁻(aq) + Cu(s) → CrOH₃(s) + CuOH

andrew-mc [135]

The balanced skeleton reactions are given below

2CrO₄²⁻(aq) + 3Cu(s) +8 $H_{2} O$ (l) → 2Cr(OH)₃(s) + 3Cu(OH)₂(s) + 6 $OH^{-}$ (aq)

The oxidising agent and reducing agents are Cr and Cu .

There are following steps involve in balance redox reaction in basic medium .

First divide the reaction into two half reactions which give oxidation and reduction half reaction.

Then balance the elements other than oxygen and hydrogen atom.

Balance the oxygen atom by adding $H_{2} O$ where number of oxygen is less .

Balance the hydrogen atom by adding $H^{+}$ on another side of where water molecule added.
Add $OH^{-}$ ions to both sides to neutralize $H^{+}$ ion.
Combine $H^{+}$ and $OH^{-}$ ion to make $H_{2} O$ .

Balance the charge by adding $e^{-}$ .

Add the half reaction .

The species which reduces the other species in the redox reaction is called oxidizing agent . Similarly , the species which oxidize the other species in the redox reaction is called reducing agent .

What types of reactions are these 3 chemical equations?-

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

*2Kl+Pb(NO3)2=PbI2+2KNO3: double replacement.

*2Al+3CuSO4=Al2(SO4)3+3Cu: single replacement.

*C2H5OH+3O2=2CO2+3H2O: combustion.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the required, it turns out necessary for us to recall the five types of reactions, combination, decomposition, single and double replacement and combustion as shown on the attached figure.

In such a way, since the first reaction follows the pattern AB+CD-->AD+CB we infer it is double replacement; the second reaction follows the patter A+BC-->AC+B and therefore it is single replacement; and the last one follows the pattern of combustion reaction due to the presence of CO2 and H2O on the products side.

Regards!
