What is the difference between a nucleic acid and a nucleotide?.

1 answer:

7 0

Nucleic Acid is a complex organic substance present in living cells, especially DNA or RNA whose molecules consist of many nucleotides linked in a long chain.

Nucleotide is a compound consisting of a nucleoside linked to a phosphate group. They form the basic structural unit of nucleic acids such as DNA.

Which colorless and odorless gas, produced by radioactive decay of Uranium-238, is considered to be a cancer-causing agent?

alexdok [17]

The correct answer is b. Radon. Oxygen, Hyrdrogen, and Boron, are not radioactivel ike Radon and it regenerates quickly meaning that even though it has a short half-life period, it stays for a long time once released. It also has no taste so it's difficult to notice without proper gear because you can't feel it.

Consider the following reaction where Kc = 1.80×10-2 at 698 K:

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The system is not in equilibrium and the reaction must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.

Explanation:

The reaction quotient Qc is a measure of the relative amount of products and reagents present in a reaction at any given time, which is calculated in a reaction that may not yet have reached equilibrium.

For the reversible reaction aA + bB⇔ cC + dD, where a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation, Qc is calculated by:

$Qc=\frac{[C]^{c}*[D]^{d} } {[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}}$

In this case:

$Qc=\frac{[H_{2} ]*[I_{2} ] } {[HI]^{2}}$

Since molarity is the concentration of a solution expressed in the number of moles dissolved per liter of solution, you have:

$[H_{2} ]=\frac{2.09*10^{-2} moles}{1 Liter}$ =2.09*10⁻² $\frac{moles}{liter}$

$[I_{2} ]=\frac{4.14*10^{-2} moles}{1 Liter}$ =4.14*10⁻² $\frac{moles}{liter}$

$[I_{2} ]=\frac{0.280 moles}{1 Liter}$ = 0.280 $\frac{moles}{liter}$

So,

$Qc=\frac{2.09*10^{-2} *4.14*10^{-2} } {0.280^{2} }$

Qc= 0.011

Comparing Qc with Kc allows to find out the status and evolution of the system:

If the reaction quotient is equal to the equilibrium constant, Qc = Kc, the system has reached chemical equilibrium.

If the reaction quotient is greater than the equilibrium constant, Qc> Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. In this case the direct reaction predominates and there will be more product present than what is obtained at equilibrium. Therefore, this product is used to promote the reverse reaction and reach equilibrium. The system will then evolve to the left to increase the reagent concentration.

If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant, Qc <Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. The concentration of the reagents is higher than it would be at equilibrium, so the direct reaction predominates. Thus, the system will evolve to the right to increase the concentration of products.

Being Qc=0.011 and Kc=1.80⁻²=0.018, then Qc<Kc. The system is not in equilibrium and the reaction must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.

Determine the percent water in MgSO4*7H20?

Semmy [17]

Answer:

$\% H_2O=51.2\%$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the percent water is computed by dividing the amount of water by the total mass of the hydrate; we infer we first need the molar mass of water and that of the hydrate as shown below:

$MM_{MgSO_4* 7H_2O}=120.36 g/mol+7*18.02g/mol\\\\MM_{MgSO_4* 7H_2O}=246.5g/mol$

Thus, the percent water is:

$\% H_2O=\frac{7*MM_{H_2O}}{MM_{MgSO_4* 7H_2O}} *100\%\\\\$

So we plug in to obtain:

$\% H_2O=\frac{7*18.02}{246.5} *100\%\\\\\% H_2O=51.2\%$

Best regards!
