What is E(x) of a geometric distribution?
1/p
What is the Var(x) of a geometric distribution
(1-p)/p^2
What is the E(x) of the Poisson distribution?
Lambda (the mean)
What is the Var(x) of the Poisson distribution?
Lambda (the mean)
What is the E(x) of the binomial distribution?
np
What is the Var(x) of the binomial distribution?

What conditions are needed for the nitration of benzene? and what type of mechanism is it?
Mechanism: Electrophilic substitution
Conditions: HNO3 and H2SO4 (both conc)
55 degrees Celsius
How would you distinguish between two stereoisomers?
.Shining plane polarised light through it
. each enantiomer will rotate the light in different directions
What are the two types of stereoisomerism? and how are they achieved?
E/Z isomerism: No free rotation around the double bond
Optical isomerism: When there is a chiral carbon with 4 different groups attached to it
What are the 3 different types of structural isomerism?
Chain isomerism
Position isomerism (where the fuctional group moves)
Functional group isomerism ( where the functional group changes)
What is the difference between structural and stereoisomerism?
Structural isomers have the same molecular formula but has a different structure
Stereoisomers have the same molecular formula but are arranged differently in 3D space
What is the equation for Impulse?
I=Ft
I= final - initial momentum
What is the equation for the light absorbed by a electron?
E=HF or E=HC/(lambda)
What pair of bases have 3 hydrogen bonds between them
Cytosine and guanine
What reagent is used to hydrolyse a protein
Conc HCl
How would you see an amino acid on a chromatography graph
UV light or ninhydrin
What does complementary mean in terms of DNA strands
Complementary means the two strands must have base sequences)
that match (all) A to T and C to G
What is the formula for a peptide link
CONH
What is an oxide that is insoluble in water
