What is the mass of H2O produced when 14.0 grams of H2 reacts completely with 2.0 grams of O2?
Vladimir79 [104]
Balanced chemical equation:

2 H2 + 1 O2 = 2 H2O

4 g H2  -------> 32 g O2 -----------> 36 g H2O
   ↓                       ↓                             ↓
14.0 g ---------> 2.0 g O2 ----------> mass H2O ?

32 * mass H2O = 2.0 * 36

32 * mass H2O = 72

mass of H2O = 72 / 32

mass of H2O = 2.25 g

hope this helps!.

A scuba tank contains a mixture of oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) gas. The oxygen has a partial pressure of PO2=5.62MPa. The tota
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

21.16 MPa

Explanation:

Partial pressure of oxygen = 5.62 MPa

Total gas pressure = 26.78 MPa

But

Total pressure of the gas= sum of partial pressures of all the constituent gases in the system.

This implies that;

Total pressure of the system = partial pressure of nitrogen + partial pressure of oxygen

Hence partial pressure of nitrogen=

Total pressure of the system - partial pressure of oxygen

Therefore;

Partial pressure of nitrogen= 26.78 - 5.62

Partial pressure of nitrogen = 21.16 MPa

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: D. Mutation in coding sequences are more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations in noncoding sequences.

Explanation: It was not likely to be that the coding sequences are replicated more often. The only possible explanation is that the mutations in coding is more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations because it is in a non coding sequence.
