Explain mitosis and meiosis in your own words.

1 answer:

4 0

I always remembered the differences by Mitosis sounds like My Toes Is. Which means its body cells reproducing.
And Meiosis is My overies. Which is sex cells reproducing.

Mitosis - The body cell's nucleus makes a copy of its chromosomes. The Chromotids are then pulled to the poles of the cell and split in half, the cell then divides in half into two new cells. Each cell has one pair of chromosomes each.

Meiosis - The sex cells nucleus makes a copy of each chromosome same as before. But then the similar chromosomes group up and swap parts with each other. Making completely new chromosomes. They then split in half again, making two new cells with two different pairs of chromosomes. Which then split apart Once more creating 4 new cells (From the original one) Each with completely random chromosomes.

A 50/50 blend of engine coolant and water (by volume) is usually used in an automobile's engine cooling system. If a car's cooli

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

109.09°C

Explanation:

Given that:

the capacity of the cooling car system = 5.6 gal

volume of solute = volume of the water; since a 50/50 blend of engine coolant and water (by volume) is used.

∴ $\frac{5.60}{2}gallons = 2.80 gallons$

Afterwards, the mass of the solute and the mass of the water can be determined as shown below:

mass of solute = $(M__1}) = Density*Volume$

$= 1.1g/mL *2.80*\frac{3785.41mL}{1gallon}$

$= 11659.06grams$

On the other hand; the mass of water = $(M__2})= Density*Volume$

$= 0.998g/mL *2.80*\frac{3785.41mL}{1gallon}$

$= 10577.95 grams$

Molarity = $\frac{massof solute*1000}{molarmassof solute*massofwater}$

= $\frac{11659.06*1000}{62.07*10577.95}$

= 17.757 m

≅ 17.76 m

∴ the boiling point of the solution is calculated using the boiling‑point elevation constant for water and the Molarity.

$\Delta T_{boiling} = k_{boiling}M$

where,

$k_{boiling}$ = 0.512 °C/m

$\Delta T_{boiling}$ = 100°C + 17.56 × 0.512

= 109.09 °C

Cryolite, Na3AlF6(s), an ore used in the production of aluminum, can be synthesized using aluminum oxide. Balance the equation f

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: The mass of cryolite produced is 51.48 kg

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For aluminium oxide:

Given mass of aluminium oxide = 12.5 kg = 12500 g (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)

Molar mass of aluminium oxide = 101.96 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of aluminium oxide}=\frac{12500g}{101.96g/mol}=122.6mol$

For NaOH:

Given mass of NaOH = 55.4 kg = 55400 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of NaOH}=\frac{55400g}{40g/mol}=1389mol$

For HF:

Given mass of HF = 55.4 kg = 55400 g

Molar mass of HF = 20 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of HF}=\frac{55400g}{20g/mol}=2770mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Al_2O_3(s)+6NaOH(l)+12HF(g)\rightarrow 2Na_3AlF_6+9H_2O(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aluminium oxide reacts with 6 moles of sodium hydroxide and 12 moles of HF.

So, 122.6 moles of aluminium oxide will react with $(6\times 122.6)=735.6mol$ of sodium hydroxide and $(12\times 122.6)=1471.2mol$ of HF

As, given amount of NaOH and HF is more than the required amount. So, they are considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, aluminium oxide is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aluminium oxide produces 2 moles of cryolite

So, 122.6 moles of aluminium oxide will produce = $\frac{2}{1}\times 122.6=245.2mol$ of cryolite

Now, calculating the mass of cryolite by using equation 1:

Molar mass of cryolite = 209.94 g/mol

Moles of cryolite = 245.2 mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$245.2mol=\frac{\text{Mass of cryolite}}{209.94g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of cryolite}=(245.2mol\times 209.94g/mol)=51477.3g$

Converting this into kilograms, we use the conversion factor:

1 kg = 1000 g

So, $51477.3 g\times (\frac{1kg}{1000g})=51.48kg$

Hence, the mass of cryolite produced is 51.48 kg
