Gene therapy is designed to introduce genetic material into cells to compensate for abnormal genes or to make a beneficial protein. If a mutated gene causes a necessary protein to be faulty or missing, gene therapy may be able to introduce a normal copy of the gene to restore the function of the protein.
Answer:
9.28
Explanation:
pOH refers to a measure of hydroxide ions concentration. pOH tells about the alkalinity of a solution. If pOH is less than 7 then aqueous solutions are alkaline, acidic if pOH is greater than 7 and neutral if pOH is equal to 7.
Concentration of the hydroxide ions = 1.9 x 10-5 M
pH = 
pOH = 14 - pH
=14 - 4.72 = 9.28
Answer:
d. it does all of that and even harms humans to some extent
let me know if its right
Answers:
1. 3-ethyl-3-methylheptane; 2. 2,2,3,3-tetramethylpentane; 3. hexa-2,4-diene.
Explanation:
<em>Structure 1
</em>
- Identify and name the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms (the main chain has 7 C; ∴ base name = heptane).
- Identify and name all the substituents [a 1C substituent (methyl) and a 2C substituent (methyl).
- Number the main chain from the end closest to a substituent.
- Identify the substituents by the number of the C atom on the main chain. Use hyphens between letters and numbers (3-methyl, 3-ethyl).
- Put the names of the substituents in alphabetical order in front of the base name with no spaces (3-ethyl-3-methylheptane)
<em>Structure 2</em>
- 5C. Base name = pentane
- Four methyl groups.
- Number from the left-hand end.
- If there is more than one substituent of the same type, identify each substituent by its locating number and use a multiplying prefix to show the number of each substituent. Use commas between numbers (2,2,3,3-tetramethyl).
- The name is 2,2,3,3-tetramethylpentane.
<em>Structure 3
</em>
- Identify and name the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms that passes through as many double bonds as possible. Drop the <em>-ne</em> ending of the alkane to get the root name <em>hexa-</em>.
- (No substituents).
- Number the main chain from the end closest to a double bond.
- If there is more than one double bond use a multiplying prefix to indicate the number of double bonds (two double bonds = diene) and use the smaller of the two numbers of the C=C atoms as the double bond locators (2,4-diene)
- Put the functional group name at the end of the root name (hexa-2,4-diene).
<em>Note</em>: The name 2,4-hexadiene is <em>acceptable</em>, but the <em>Preferred IUPAC Name</em> puts the locating numbers as close as possible in front of the groups they locate.
Electron affinity increases from left to right within a period. This is caused by the decrease in atomic radius. Electron affinity decreases from top to bottom within a group. This is caused by the increase in atomic radius.
