Gneiss is a sedimentary rock and granite is a metamorphic rock.

<h3>What are rocks?</h3>

Rocks are geological hard materials that are made up of various types which include:

  • Sedimentary rocks: These are rocks that made up of various layers formed from sediments. Example is the gnesis.

  • Metamorphic rocks: These are rocks that are form from pre existing rocks that undergoes some transformation. Example is granite

Therefore, Gneiss is a sedimentary rock and granite is a metamorphic rock.

Potassium forms ions with a charge of +1 (K+). Iodine forms ions with a charge of -1. Selenium forms ions with a charge of -2 (S
Taya2010 [7]

It is given that the charge on potassium is +1 i.e. Potassium is a cation, K⁺

The charge on selenium is given as -2, i.e. selenium is an anion, Se²⁻

The two ions are shown to combine to form a molecule: KXSeY where X and Y correspond to the proportions in which the two atoms combine.

Since the molecule is neutral, the positive and negative charges need to be balanced. This is possible only if 2 units of K⁺ combines with 1 unit of Se²⁻.

Therefore, the formula would be K₂Se

X = 2 and Y = 1

II. The student then takes a 1.00 M stock
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

0.244 M.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Molarity of stock solution (M₁) = 1 M

Volume of stock solution (V₁) = 0.305 L

Volume of diluted solution (V₂) = 1.25 L

Molarity of diluted solution (M₂) =?

The molarity of the diluted solution can be obtained by using the dilution formula as illustrated below:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

1 × 0.305 = M₂ × 1.25

0.305 = M₂ × 1.25

Divide both side by 1.25

M₂ = 0.305 / 1.25

M₂ = 0.244 M

Thus, the molarity of the diluted solution is 0.244 M

aksik [14]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

1. Mary and her siblings share similar hair color. Which of these cell components are most involved in determining the hair color of each sibling?

Gene, Chromosome, Nucleus

Cytoplasm, Chloroplasts,Genes

Vacuoles, Nucleus, Chromosomes

Chromosomes, Chloroplasts, Vacuoles

Answer:

Gene, Chromosome, Nucleus

Explanation:

Gene is defined in biology as "a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring" (Oxford Dictionary).

The gene is located in the chromosomes in the nucleus of cells. The sum total of the genes that an organism inherits from its parents is called the organisms' genotype and determines certain features of the organism.

The hair colour of Mary and each of her siblings depends on the genes they received from their parents.

A sample of hydrogen gas has an initial pressure of 2.86 atm and an initial volume of 8472 mL If the volume of the
Oliga [24]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Gas law : Boyle's law

New pressure: 66.24 atm

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept tested: Gas laws (Boyle's law)

<u>We are given,</u>

  • Initial pressure, P₁ = 2.86 atm
  • Initial volume, V₁ = 8472 mL
  • New volume, V₂ IS 365.8 mL

We need to determine the new pressure, P₂

  • According to Boyle's law , the volume of a fixed mass of a gas and the pressure are inversely proportional at constant temperature.
  • That is, P\alpha \frac{1}{V}
  • This means , PV = k (constant)
  • Therefore; P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
  • Rearranging the formula, we can get the new pressure, P₂

P₂ = P₁V₁ ÷ V₂

   = (2.86 atm × 8472 mL) ÷ 365.8 mL

   = 66.24 atm

Therefore, the new pressure is 66.24 atm
