The mRNA is divided into three-base segments called codons. A codon is the segment of nucleotides that codes for an amino acid, or for a start or stop signal. There are 64 codons.

Design a distillation column to separate a mixture that contains 40% ethanol and 60% water by weight with a desired ethanol purity of 95%. The feed rate of the mixture is 100 kg/hr and the reflux ratio is 3:1. Determine the number of theoretical plates required and the height of the column. Assume that the total condenser and reboiler are both at 100°C and that the distillate leaving the column is 90% liquid and 10% vapor.

Consider the metalloprotein hemoglobin, which has four heme groups each coordinated to a single iron ion. Suppose that ferrous iron in the heme group of hemoglobin is oxidized to ferric state by reacting with hydrogen peroxide. Calculate the number of hydrogen peroxide molecules needed to oxidize all the iron ions of hemoglobin in a human body that has a total of 5 liters of blood, assuming the concentration of hemoglobin in blood is 15 grams per liter.

A student is asked to design a distillation column for the separation of a mixture consisting of ethanol and water. The student has to determine the number of theoretical plates required for the column to achieve a product concentration of 95% ethanol, given the feed mixture contains 25% ethanol and 75% water. The student also needs to calculate the amount of steam required for the reboiler to operate at a reflux ratio of 3.5, assuming the total condenser efficiency is 100%.
