question 51

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is the correct balanced equation for the equilibrium expression given below?
$K _ { p } = \frac { P _ { \mathrm { SO } _ { 3 } } ^ { 2 } } { P _ { \mathrm { O } _ { 2 } } P _ { \mathrm { SO } _ { 2 } } ^ { 2 } }$

• A) 2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2 SO₃(g)
• B) 2 SO₃(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g)
• C) 2 SO₃(aq) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2 SO₂(aq) + O₂(aq)
• D) 2 SO₂(aq) + O₂(aq) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2 SO₃(aq)
• E) SO₂(g) + \(\frac { 1 } { 2 }\) O₂(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) SO₃(g)

Units of heredity made up of DNA that act as instructions to make molecules called proteins.

Protein Synthesis

Protein synthesis is the biological process in which cells generate new proteins, playing a crucial part in cellular function and structure.

Ribosomes

Small organelles that function as the site of protein synthesis in the cell, reading RNA to create proteins.

Amino Acids

Building blocks of proteins, playing critical roles in body functions, including cell structure and transport.
