Chapter 21, Problem 73E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The difference between a codon and nucleotide. A condon and a gene.

Concept Introduction:

Nucleotides are the monomeric units of nucleic acids, which are made up of three parts: a five-membered sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and nitrogen containing heterocyclic base. While, A group of three nucleotides on m-RNA, which represent a code of a particular amino acid, is known as codon.

One method for the analysis of Fe3+, which is used with a variety of sample matrices, is to form the highly colored Fe3+–thioglycolic acid complex. The complex absorbs strongly at 535 nm. Standardizing the method is accomplished using external standards. A 10.00-ppm Fe3+ working standard is prepared by transferring a 10-mL aliquot of a 100.0 ppm stock solution of Fe3+ to a 100-mL volumetric flask and diluting to volume. Calibration standards of 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00, and 5.00 ppm are prepared by transferring appropriate amounts of the 10.0 ppm working solution into separate 50-mL volumetric flasks, each of which contains 5 mL of thioglycolic acid, 2 mL of 20% w/v ammonium citrate, and 5 mL of 0.22 M NH3. After diluting to volume and mixing, the absorbances of the external standards are measured against an appropriate blank. Samples are prepared for analysis by taking a portion known to contain approximately 0.1 g of Fe3+, dissolving it in a minimum amount of HNO3, and diluting to…
A key component of a monochromator is the exit slit. As the exit slit is narrowed, the bandwidth of light (i.e., the range of wavelengths) exiting the slit gets smaller, leading to higher resolution. What is a possible disadvantage of narrowing the exit slit? (Hint: why might a narrower slit lower the sensitivity of the measurement?).
An x-ray has a frequency of 3.33 × 1018 What is the wavelength of this light?
