Answer:

Substitution mutation

Explanation:

A substitution mutation is a type of mutation in which one or more nucleotide base is replaced by another in a sequence. This will result in the replacement of one or more amino acid in the amino acid sequence.

This is the case in this question where the original amino acid sequence was given as: Leucine – Alanine – Glycine – Leucine. After mutation, the following mutated sequence was produced: Leucine – Alanine – Valine – Leucine.

As illustrated above, one would notice that there is replacement of GLYCINE amino acid by VALINE in the mutated sequence, hence, it is an example of SUBSTITUTION MUTATION.

Calculate ΔH∘f for NO(g) at 435 K, assuming that the heat capacities of reactants and products are constant over the temperature

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

91383 J

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction can be represented as:

$\frac{1}{2} N_{2(g)}+\frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)}$ ------> $NO_{(g)}$

Given that:

The standard enthalpy of formation of NO(g) is 91.3 kJ⋅mol−1 at 298.15 K.

The equation below shown the reaction between the enthalpy of reaction at a particular temperature to another.

$\delta H^0__{R,T_2}$ = $\delta H^0__{R,T_1} } + \int\limits^{T_2}_{T_1} {\delta C_p(T')} \, dT'$

where:

$\delta H^0__{R}$ = enthalpy of reaction

${\delta C_p(T')}$ = the difference in the heat capacities of the products and the reactants.

∴

$\delta H^0__{R,435K}$ = $\delta H^0__{R,298.15K}$ $+$ $\int\limits^{435}_{298.15} {\delta C_p(T')} \, dT'$

= $1(91300 J.mol^{-1} ) +\int\limits^{435}_{298.15} [{(29.86)-\frac{1}{2}(29.38)-\frac{1}{2}29.13}]J.K^{-1}.mol^{-1} \, dT'$

= 91300 J + (0.605 J.K⁻¹)(435-298.15)K

= 91382.79 J

$\delta H^0__{R,435K}$ ≅ 91383 J

Concentration of 10.00 mL of HBr if it takes 5 mL of a 0.253 M LiOH solution to<br> neutralize it?

Sonbull [250]

In a titration, for an acid to neutralize a base, at the equivalence point, there should be an equal number of moles of H+ and OH-.

Moles of OH- can be found by multiplying the concentration of the base by the volume. (You will need to keep in mind the stoichimetric coefficients if the strong base is Ca(OH)₂, Ba(OH)₂, or Sr(OH)₂.

Moles of OH- = moles of H+
(0.253 M) * 0.005 L = 0.01000 L * c
c = 0.1265 M

The concentration of HBr is 0.127 M.
