We let the chemical equation for the weak acid indicator propyl red HPr be
     HPr + H2O ↔ H3O+ + Pr-
Therefore, the acid dissociation constant Ka is
     Ka = [H3O+][Pr-] / [HPr]
The color of this indicator turns from red to yellow or the other way around at its turning point at which 
     [HPr] = [Pr-]
Substituting this to the equation for Ka, we now have
     Ka = [H3O+]
The pH of the solution at its turning point is 
     pH = -log[H3O+] = -log(Ka) = -log 3.3×10^-6 = 5.48
<span>On this account, the pH range is pH 5.0 to 6.0.</span>

1. The structural unit of nucleic acids are composed of repeating units of monomers called nucleotides. Nucelotides are composed of three functional groups: sugars which are specifically pentoses (5-Carbon sugars), phosphate group and nitrogenous base.

2. The two major classes of nucleic acids in the body are the DNA or deoxyribonucleic acids and RNA or ribonucleic acids.

3.
a. Based on the nitrogenous bases and sugar, the DNA has a deoxyribose as the sugar and its 4 bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. For RNA, the sugar is ribose while its 4 bases are <span>adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil

b. Based on the </span>general three-dimensional structure, DNA is a double stranded β-helix with a long chain of nucleotides. RNA is composed of a shorter chain with a single strand α-helix structure.

c. Based on r<span>elative functions, the DNA is responsible for storing the genetic information while the RNA is responsible for transporting the genetic information to the ribosomes which synthesize proteins.</span>

Aqueous solutions of lithium sulfate and calcium nitrate are mixed, forming the precipitate
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

(aq) Li2SO4 + (aq) Ca(NO3)2 --> (s) CaSO4 + (aq) 2LiNO3

Explanation:

Aqueous Lithium Sulfate is Li2SO4

Aqueous Calcium Nitrate is Ca(NO3)2

When they're mixed, we get the double displacement solution Calcium Sulfate and Lithium Nitrate.

Precipitate is solid.

We got solid Calcium Sulfate so the other solution must be aqueous.

CaSO4 (s) --> Calcium Sulfate product

LiNO3 (aq) --> Lithium Nitrate product

We balance equation now. 2 Lithiums total and 2 Nitrates total. (Cuz there are 2 on the other side, 1 here)
