Answer:

Rosalind Elsie Franklin (25 July 1920 – 16 April 1958)was a British biophysicist and X-ray crystallographer who made critical contributions to the understanding of the fine molecular structures of DNA, RNA, viruses, coal and graphite. The DNA work achieved the most fame because DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) plays essential roles in cell metabolism and genetics, and the discovery of its structure helped scientists understand how genetic information is passed from parents to children.

Franklin is best known for her work on the X-ray diffraction images of DNA which led to discovery of DNA double helix. Her data, according to Francis Crick, was "the data we actually used" to formulate Crick and Watson's 1953 hypothesis regarding the structure of DNA.Franklin's X-ray diffraction image confirming the helical structure of DNA were shown to Watson without her approval or knowledge. Though this image and her accurate interpretation of the data provided valuable insight into the DNA structure, Franklin's scientific contributions to the discovery of the double helix are often overlooked. Unpublished drafts of her papers (written just as she was arranging to leave King's College London) show that she had independently determined the overall B-form of the DNA helix and the location of the phosphate groups on the outside of the structure. However, her work was published third, in the series of three DNA Nature articles, led by the paper of Watson and Crick which only hinted at her contribution to their hypothesis.

After finishing her portion of the DNA work, Franklin led pioneering work on the tobacco mosaic and polio viruses. She died in 1958 at the age of 37 from complications arising from ovarian cancer.

Franklin performed groundbreaking work on the tobacco mosaic and polioviruses after completing half of the DNA work. She died in 1958, at the age of 37, from ovarian cancer complications.

Rosalind Franklin was so much more than the 'wronged ...

https://www.nature.com:  As one of the twentieth century’s pre-eminent scientists, Franklin’s work has benefited all of humanity. The one-hundredth anniversary of her birth this month is prompting much reflection on her career and research contributions, not least Franklin’s catalytic role in unraveling the structure of DNA.

Consider the acid-base neutralization reaction H2S(aq) + CN‒(aq) ⇌ HS‒(aq) + HCN(aq) For H2S, pKa = 7.0, and for HCN, pKa = 9.4.
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

(c) At equilibrium, the equilibrium position favors the reactants.

Explanation:

To assess the strength of an acid or a base we need to consider the pKa or pKb. For an acid, the lower the pKa, the stronger the acid. For a base, the lower the pKb, the stronger the base.

<em>Which of the following statements is FALSE?</em>

<em>(a) H₂S is a stronger acid than HCN.</em> TRUE. The pKa of H₂S (7.0) is lower than the pKa of HCN (9.4).

<em>(b) CN⁻ is a stronger base than HS⁻.</em> TRUE. We can calculate the pKb of a base when we know the pKa of the conjugate acid using the following expression:

pKa + pKb = 14 ⇒ pKb = 14 - pka

The pKb of CN⁻ (4.6) is lower than the pKb of HS⁻(7.0) so it is a stronger base.

<em>(c) At equilibrium, the equilibrium position favors the reactants.</em> FALSE. In the reaction H₂S(aq) + CN⁻(aq) ⇌ HS⁻(aq) + HCN(aq), H₂S is the stronger acid and CN⁻ is the stronger base, so at the equilibrium the products are favored.

(d) At equilibrium, the equilibrium constant, Kc, is larger than 1. TRUE. Given the products are favored at the equilibrium, the equilibrium constant Kc is expected to be larger than 1 (the numerator is higher than the denominator).

Why is the reaction SO2 + H2O → H2SO2 not balanced?
aalyn [17]

There are more oxygen atoms in the reactants while there are less oxygen atoms in the product.

Both sides of the equation is supposed to be balanced for a balanced equation. If any one of them isn't balanced, the equation remains unbalanced.

The main reason why the reaction above can not be balanced is:

This chemical reaction SO2 + H2O -> H2SO2 is not correctly written.

It must be: SO2 + H2O -> H2SO3

A sample of oxygen gas occupies a volume of 250 mL at .8 atm of pressure. What volume will it occupy at 1.2 atm of pressure?
musickatia [10]
167 mL

P1V1 = P2V2
P1 = .8 atm
V1 = 250 mL
P2 = 1.2 atm

Solve for V2 —> V2 = P1V1/P2

V2 = (0.8 atm)(250 mL) / (1.2 atm) = 167 mL

Identify one disadvantage to each of the following models of electron configuration
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The disadvantages or the limitations are as follows:

Dot structures: based on an empirical trend “atoms like octets”, not a rigorous description of the true nature of electrons

Arrow and line diagrams: Does not say much of the possible properties of the molecule.

Written electron configurations: no 3D representation of the molecule or the atom
