Answer:

$n=3.0\times 10^{13}$

Explanation:

Charge on 1 electron = $-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

The expression for charge is:-

$Charge=n\times q_e$

Given that:- Charge = $-4.8\times 10^{-6}\ C$

$-4.8\times 10^{-6}=n\times (-1.6\times 10^{-19})$

$n=\frac{4.8\times 10^{-6}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=3.0\times 10^{13}$

Total number of electrons, n = $3.0\times 10^{13}$

Which of the compounds above are strong enough acids to react almost completely with a hydroxide ion (pka of h2o = 15.74) or wit

The compounds can react with OH⁻ and HCO₃⁻ only C₅H₆N pyridinium

<h3><em>Further explanation </em></h3>

In an acid-base reaction, it can be determined whether or not a reaction occurs by knowing the value of pKa or Ka from acid and conjugate acid (acid from the reaction)

Acids and bases according to Bronsted-Lowry

Acid = donor (donor) proton (H + ion)

Base = proton (receiver) acceptor (H + ion)

If the acid gives (H +), then the remaining acid is a conjugate base because it accepts protons. Conversely, if a base receives (H +), then the base formed can release protons and is called the conjugate acid from the original base.

From this, it can be seen whether the acid in the product can give its proton to a base (or acid which has a lower Ka value) so that the reaction can go to the right to produce the product.

The step that needs to be done is to know the pKa value of the two acids (one on the left side and one on the right side of the arrow), then just determine the value of the equilibrium constant

Can be formulated:

K acid-base reaction = Ka acid on the left : K acid on the right.

or:

pK = acid pKa on the left - pKa acid on the right

K = equilibrium constant for acid-base reactions

pK = -log K;

$K~=~10^{-pK}$

K value> 1 indicates the reaction can take place, or the position of equilibrium to the right.

There is some data that we need to complete from the problem above, which is the pKa value of some compounds that will react, namely:

pyridinium pKa = 5.25

acetone pKa = 19.3

butan-2-one pKa = 19

Let's look at the K value of each possible reaction:

pka H₂O = 15.74, pka of H₂CO₃ = 6.37)

1. C₅H₆N pyridinium

* with OH⁻

C₅H₆N + OH- ---> C₅H₅N- + H₂O

pK = pKa pyridinium - pKa H₂O

pK = 5.25 - 15.74

pK = -10.49

$K~=~10^{4.9}$

K values> 1 indicate the reaction can take place

* with HCO3⁻

C₅H₆N + HCO₃⁻-- ---> C₅H₅N⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 5.25 - 6.37

pK = -1.12

$K`=~10^{1.12]$

Reaction can take place

2. Acetone C₃H₆O

* with OH-

C₃H₆O + OH⁻ ---> C₃H₅O- + H₂O

pK = 19.3 - 15.74

pK = 3.56

$K~=~10^{ -3.56}$

Reaction does not happen

* with HCO₃-

C₃H₆O + HCO₃⁻ ----> C₃H₅O⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 19.3 - 6.37

pK = 12.93

$K`=~10 ^{-12.93}$

Reaction does not happen

3. butan-2-one C₄H₇O

* with OH-

C₄H₇O + OH- ---> C₄H₆O- + H₂O

pK = 19 - 15.74

pK = 3.26

$K~=~10^{-3.26}$

Reaction does not happen

* with HCO₃⁻

C₄H₇O + HCO₃⁻ ---> C₄H₆O⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 19 - 6.37

pK = 12.63

$K~=~ 10^{-12.63}$

Reaction does not happen

So that can react with OH⁻ and HCO₃⁻ only C₅H₆N pyridinium

<span>The elements in a Periodic Table are grouped according to their classifications. The major classifications are Metals, Non-metals, and Metalloids. Their level of reactivity can be gauged by simply looking at their position in the table. For Metals, their reactivity increases as you move to the left then going down. Non-metal reactivity increases as you move to the right then going up, starting at the bottom of the table.</span>

A voltaic cell is constructed with two silver-silver chloride electrodes, where the half-reaction is AgCl (s) + e− → Ag (s) + Cl

ANTONII [103]

Answer : The cell emf for this cell is 0.118 V

Solution :

The half-cell reaction is:

$AgCl(s)+e^\rightarrow Ag(s)+Cl^-(aq)$

In this case, the cathode and anode both are same. So, $E^o_{cell}$ is equal to zero.

Now we have to calculate the cell emf.

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Cl^{-}{diluted}]}{[Cl^{-}{concentrated}]}$

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 1

$E_{cell}$ = ?

$[Cl^{-}{diluted}]$ = 0.0222 M

$[Cl^{-}{concentrated}]$ = 2.22 M

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=0-\frac{0.0592}{1}\log \frac{0.0222M}{2.22M}$

$E_{cell}=0.118V$

Therefore, the cell emf for this cell is 0.118 V

Answer:

Explanation:

Catalyzed by DNA polymerase - both. DNA polymerase catalyzes DNA replication in the cell. However, purified versions of the enzyme are also used to synthesise DNA as part of PCR reactions

involves leading strand synthesis only - PCR. In PCR, lagging strand synthesis is not carried out because the DNA is denatured (rendered single stranded). Therefore, each strand is replicated independently by leading strand synthesis

duplicates a small fragment of the genome - PCR. Usually, to carry out PCR, small sequences called primers are used that specify the region of DNA to be replicated

duplicates the entire genome - in vivo replication - when the DNA is replicated in vivo, the entire genome is replicated. This is carried out prior to cell division so that two daughter cells can each inherit a copy of the entire genome
