When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a quantum of energy. The different mix of energy differences for each atom produces different colours. Each metal gives a characteristic flame emission spectrum.

Will Florine react? will it combine with other elements?
Alexxx [7]

Fluorine is the most active chemical element, reacting with virtually every element. It even reacts with the noble gases at high temperatures and pressures. The noble gases, or Group 18 (VIIIA), also known as the inert gases, generally do not react with other elements.

Codons.
andrey2020 [161]

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).

What is the volume of a sample of CO2 at STP that has a volume of 75.0mL at 30.0°C and 91kPa
Nezavi [6.7K]

60.7 ml is the volume of a sample of CO2 at STP that has a volume of 75.0mL at 30.0°C and 91kPa.

Explanation:

Data given:

V1 = 75 ml

T1 = 30 Degrees or 273.15 + 30 = 303.15 K

P1 = 91 KPa

V2  =?

P2 = 1 atm or 101.3 KPa

T2 = 273.15 K

At STP the pressure is 1 atm and the temperature is 273.15 K

applying Gas Law:

\frac{P1VI}{T1}= \frac{P2V2}{T2}

putting the values in the equation of Gas Law:

V2 = \frac{P1V1T2}{P2T1}

V2 = \frac{91 X 75 X 273.15}{303.15 X 101.3}

V2 = 60.7 ml

at STP the volume of carbon dioxide gas is 60.7 ml.
