Answer:
1. There are so many ethical concerns about biotechnology, some Ethical issues that arise from the application of modern biotechnologies include:
Discrimination of individuals because of their health or health history as a result of knowing their genetic information, minimizing harms while maximizing benefits, Interference with nature, privacy.
2. a. Plants (maize, rice)
b. Fish (GloFish)
3. For individuals, biotechnology has helped in the prevention and treatment of a wide range of diseases. For society, biotechnology saves time, improves the health and quality of food through a reduction in the use of pesticides and it can create new viruses and bacteria that cause diseases. Biotechnology could address global change since more genetically modified plants are grown.
Calcium carbonate has the formula: CaCO3
From the periodic table:
mass of calcium = 40 grams
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Therefore,
molar mass of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + 3(16) = 100 grams
molar mass of carbonate = 12 + 3(16) = 60 grams
One mole of calcium carbonate contains one mole of carbonate. Therefore, 100 grams of CaCO3 contains 60 grams of CO3.
If the 0.5376 grams of the unknown substance is CaCO3, then the amount of carbonate will be:
amount of carbonate = (0.5376*60) / 100 = 0.32256 grams
Based on the above calculations, the sample is not CaCO3
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Basic oxides ⇒ metal(usually alkali/alkaline earth) +O₂
L + O₂ ⇒ L₂O
L + O₂ ⇒ LO
Dissolve in water becomes = basic solution
L₂O+H₂O⇒ 2LOH
LO + H₂O⇒ L(OH)₂
So the basic oxides : Na₂O and MgO
Na₂O + H₂O⇒NaOH
MgO +H₂O⇒Mg(OH)₂
The aqueous solution of CO₂(dissolve in water)
CO₂ + +H₂O⇒ H₂CO₃(carbonic acid)
Reaction of Elemental Calcium with Water is as follow,
Ca + 2 H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + H₂↑
When Sodium Metal is reacted with Water it produces NaOH and eliminates Hydrogen gas as shown in following equation,
2 Na + 2 H₂O → 2 NaOH + H₂↑
In both cases corresponding Hydroxides along with Hydrogen gas is produced.
