Answer:-  0.88

Solution:- Masses of silver and copper metals are given and we are asked to calculate the percentage of silver in the alloy.

mass percent of Ag = (\frac{mass of Ag}{mass of alloy})*100

Mass of Ag = 17.6 g

mass of Cu = 2.40 g

mass of alloy = 17.6 g + 2.40 g = 20.0 g

Let's plug in the values in the formula:

mass percentage of Ag = (\frac{17.6}{20.0})*100

mass percentage of Ag = 88%

So, the mass percentage of silver in sterling silver is 88% and in decimal form it is 0.88.

What role does DNA play in the production of a protein?
klemol [59]

A

Explanation:

The coiling up of DNA with the help of histone proteins - to what is called heterochromatic regions-  is part of gene regulation. This makes genes inaccessible to RNA polymerase that makes mRNA from the genes. When the genes are exposed by DNA unwinding, these genes are transcribed and the resulting mRNAs are translated by ribosomes into proteins.

The DNA never unwinds completely, but rather does so region by region, because if it does so it would become so long that it wouldn't fit in the nucleus or cell.

Calculate OH- given H3 O+ = 1.40 *10^-4 M
vova2212 [387]

3.16 X 10^-11 M is the [OH-] concentration when H3O+ = 1.40 *10^-4 M.

Explanation:

data given:

H30+= 1.40 X 10^-4 M\

Henderson Hasslebalch equation to calculate pH=

pH = -log10(H30+)

putting the values in the equation:

pH = -log 10(1.40 X 10^-4 M)

pH = 3.85

pH + pOH =14

pOH = 14 - 3.85

pOH = 10.15

The OH- concentration from the pOH by the equation:

pOH = -log10[OH-]

10.5= -log10[OH-]

[OH-] = 10^-10.5

[OH-]  = 3.16 X 10^-11 is the concentration of OH ions when hydronium ion concentration is 1.40 *10^-4 M.

in a reaction 2.5g of sodium sulphate reacted with 4.5g of barium chloride. the products are 3.5g of barium sulphate and the res
klio [65]

The mass of sodium chloride : 3.5 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction :

2.5g of sodium sulphate + 4.5g of barium chloride ⇒ 3.5g of barium sulphate + sodium chloride

Required

The mass of sodium chloride

Solution

Conservation of mass applies to a closed system, <em>where the masses before and after the reaction are the same</em>

From the reaction :

mass of reactants = 2.5 g + 4.5 g = 7.0 g

mass of products = 3.5 g + mass of sodium chloride

mass of reactants = mass of products

7.0 g = 3.5 g + mass of sodium chloride

mass of sodium chloride = 7 g - 3.5 g =3.5 g
