Suppose you have a bucket of sand containing 5.5 billion grains of sand ( 5.5×109 grains). Most of the grains of sand are white,

but there are some brown grains mixed evenly throughout.
If the concentration of brown sand is 6.0% , how many grains of brown sand are in the bucket?

Explanation:

5.5 billion grains of sand ( 5.5×109 grains)

If the concentration of brown sand is 6.0% , how many grains of brown sand are in the bucket?

Number of grains = Concentration of brown side * Bucket of sand

Brown grains = 0.06 * 5.5×10^9 = 0.33 x 10^9 = 3.3 x 10^8 grains

<em>If the concentration of brown sand is 6.0 ppm, how many grains of brown sand are in the bucket?</em>

Number of grains = Concentration of brown side * Bucket of sand

6ppm = 6 / 1000000 = 0.000006

Brown grains = 0.000006 * 5.5×10^9 = 3.3 x 10^4 grains

<em>If the concentration of brown sand is 6.0 ppb, how many grains of brown sand are in the bucket?</em>

Number of grains = Concentration of brown side * Bucket of sand

6ppb = 6 / 1000000000 = 0.000000006

Brown grains = 0.000000006 * 5.5×10^9 = 3.3 x 10^1 = 33 grains

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

g You observed the formation of several precipitates in the Reactions in Solution lab exercise. Identify the precipitate in each

RUDIKE [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> Lead iodide is a yellow precipitate.

<u>For b:</u> Barium sulfate is a white precipitate.

<u>For c:</u> Ferric hydroxide is a brown precipitate.

<u>For d:</u> Copper (II) hydroxide is a blue precipitate.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Precipitation reaction is defined as the reaction where a solid precipitate (solid substance) is formed at the end of the reaction. It is insoluble in water.

For the given options:

<u>For (a):</u>

The chemical reaction between KI and lead (II) nitrate follows:

$2KI(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)+2KNO_3(aq)$

The iodide of lead is generally insoluble in water. Thus, lead iodide is a yellow precipitate.

<u>For b:</u>

The chemical reaction between barium chloride and sulfuric acid follows:

$BaCl_2(aq)+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2HCl(aq)$

The sulfate of barium is insoluble in water. Thus, barium sulfate is a white precipitate.

<u>For c:</u>

The chemical reaction between NaOH and ferric chloride follows:

$3NaOH(aq)+FeCl_3(aq)\rightarrow Fe(OH)_3(s)+3NaCl(aq)$

The hydroxide of iron is insoluble in water. Thus, ferric hydroxide is a brown precipitate.

<u>For d:</u>

The chemical reaction between NaOH and copper sulfate follows:

$CuSO_4+2NaOH\rightarrow Cu(OH)_2+Na_2SO_4$

The hydroxide of copper is insoluble in water. Thus, copper (II) hydroxide is a blue precipitate.

in a mixture of helium and chlorine, occupying a volume of 12.8 l at 605.6 mmhg and 21.6 oc, it is found that the partial pressu

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Mass of sample = 8.483 g

Explanation:

Given data;

Volume of mixture = 12.8 L

Pressure = 605.6 mmHg ( 605.6 / 760 = 0.797 atm)

Temperature = 21.6 °C (21.6 + 271.15 = 294.8 K)

Partial pressure of chlorine = 143 mmHg ( 143/760 = 0.19 atm)

Solution:

First of all we will determine the number of moles of mixture.

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 0.797atm × 12.8L / 0.0821 atm. dm³ mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ ×294.8 K

n = 10.202 / 24.2031

n = 0.422 mol

partial pressure of chlorine is 0.19 atm so mole fraction is,

mole fraction = 0.19/0.797

mole fraction = 0.24

moles of chlorine = 0.24 × 0.422 = 0.1013 mol

moles of helium = moles of mixture - moles of chlorine

moles of helium = 0.422 - 0.1013

moles of helium = 0.3207 mol

Mass of chlorine = moles × molar mass

Mass of chlorine = 0.1013 mol × 71 g/mol

Mass of chlorine = 7.2 g

Mass of helium = moles × molar mass

Mass of helium = 0.3207 mol × 4 g/mol

Mass of helium = 1.283 g

Mass of sample = mass of chlorine + mass of helium

Mass of sample = 7.2 g + 1.283 g

Mass of sample = 8.483 g
