Answer:

The correct answer is option B, alleles on homologous chromosome determine traits

Explanation:

In a homologous chromosome, the alleles of any trait occupies same position and thus when alleles occupying the same position combine with each other they lead to expression of the trait. In a heterozygous chromosome, the alleles of the same trait occupies different position and thus they are not expressed effectively. In the mechanism of inheritance genes are responsible for expressing any character, therefore allele lying in the homozygous chromosome of genes pair up to express of any characteristics.

What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that consists of a) 5.5 wt% Pb and b) 94.5 wt% of Sn? Assume that the atom

Anastaziya [24]

Answer : The percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the number of atoms in 5.5 wt% Pb and 94.5 wt% of Sn.

As, 207.2 g of lead contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms

So, 5.5 g of lead contains $\frac{5.5}{207.2}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.59\times 10^{22}$ atoms

and,

As, 118.71 g of lead contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms

So, 94.5 g of lead contains $\frac{94.5}{118.71}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=4.79\times 10^{23}$ atoms

Now we have to calculate the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom.

$\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Pb}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100$

$\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{1.59\times 10^{22}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=3.21\%$

and,

$\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Sn}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100$

$\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{4.79\times 10^{23}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=96.8\%$

Thus, the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.

Determine the molar mass of a compound that has a density of 0.1633 g/L at STP.<br> (show work)

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

M.Mass = 3.66 g/mol

Data Given:

M.Mass = M = ??

Density = d = 0.1633 g/L

Temperature = T = 273.15 K (Standard)

Pressure = P = 1 atm (standard)

Solution:

Let us suppose that the gas is an ideal gas. Therefore, we will apply Ideal Gas equation i.e.

P V = n R T ---- (1)

Also, we know that;

Moles = n = mass / M.Mass

Or, n = m / M

Substituting n in Eq. 1.

P V = m/M R T --- (2)

Rearranging Eq.2 i.e.

P M = m/V R T --- (3)

As,

Mass / Volume = m/V = Density = d

So, Eq. 3 can be written as,

P M = d R T

Solving for M.Mass i.e.

M = d R T / P

Putting values,

M = 0.1633 g/L × 0.08205 L.atm.K⁻¹.mol⁻¹ × 273.15 K / 1 atm

M = 3.66 g/mol

Water can be made using the reversible reaction shown. Which change would

Ghella [55]

Decreasing the temperature in the reaction vessel keep this reaction from shifting to form more of the product.

As we know that rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactant.

If we increase the concentration of H2 then the rate of reaction increases. So, we keep it constant. Therefore this option is wrong.

By removing the H₂O from the reaction vessel as it almost make no change in the reaction. This can be pursuited the reaction in which product again converted into product.

By increasing the temperature we increases the rate of reaction and equilibrium shift in the forward direction.

Thus, we concluded that by decreasing the temperature in the reaction vessel keep this reaction from shifting to form more of the product.
