ِAnswer:

1- The molarity of HCOOH = 9.515 M.

2- The mole fraction of HCOOH = 0.18.

Explanation:

<em>1- The molarity of HCOOH:</em>

We can calculate the molarity of HCOOH using the relation:

M = (10pd)/molar mass.

p is the percent by mass of HCOOH = 35.9 %.

d is the specific gravity of HCOOH = 1.22 g/cm³.

Molar mass of HCOOH = 46.03 g/mol.

∴ M = (10pd)/molar mass = (10)(35.9 %)(1.22 gcm³) / (46.03 g/mol) = 9.515 M.

<em>2- The mole fraction of HCOOH:</em>

We can suppose that we have a 100 g solution, that contains 35.9 g of HCOOH and 64.1 g of water.

<em>The mole fraction of HCOOH = (no. of moles of HCOOH) / (no. of moles of HCOOH + no, of moles of water).</em>

no. of moles of HCOOH = mass / molar mass = (35.9 g)/(46.03 g/mol) = 0.78 mol.

no. of moles of water = mass / molar mass = (64.1 g)/(18.0 g/mol) = 3.56 mol.

The mole fraction of HCOOH = (no. of moles of HCOOH) / (no. of moles of HCOOH + no, of moles of water) = (0.78 mol) / (0.78 mol + 3.56 mol) = 0.18.

C-12 and C-13 are naturally-occurring isotopes of the element carbon. C-12 occurs 98.88% of the time and C-13 occurs 1.108% of t

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

c) (12×0.9889) + (13×0.01108)

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of C-12 = 98.89%

Percentage of C-13 = 1.108%

Atomic mass = ?

Solution:

98.89/100 = 0.9889

1.108/ 100 = 0.01108

Atomic mass = (12×0.9889) + (13×0.01108)

Atomic mass = (11.8668 + 0.144034)

Atomic mass = 12.01084

WILL GIVE THE BRAIN THING-

Kruka [31]

Answer:

The products are Al(NO₃)₃(aq) and H₂(g).

Al(s) + 3 HNO₃(aq) ⇒ Al(NO₃)₃(aq) + 1.5 H₂(g)

Explanation:

Let's consider the reaction between aluminum and nitric acid. This is a single replacement reaction, in which Al replaces H in HNO₃ to form aluminum nitrate. The unbalanced reaction is:

Al(s) + HNO₃(aq) ⇒ Al(NO₃)₃(aq) + H₂(g)

We start balancing N atoms by multiplying HNO₃ by 3.

Al(s) + 3 HNO₃(aq) ⇒ Al(NO₃)₃(aq) + H₂(g)

Finally, we get the balanced equation multiplying H₂ by 1.5.

Al(s) + 3 HNO₃(aq) ⇒ Al(NO₃)₃(aq) + 1.5 H₂(g)

22 Determine the molar mass of an unknown gas that has a volume of 72.5 mL at a temperature of 68C, and a pressure of 0.980 atm

jekas [21]

Answer:

81.5g/mol

Explanation:

Molar mass is the ratio between mass of a substance (In this case, 0.207g) and moles presents in this mass.

To solve this question we must find the moles of the gas in order to obtain the molar mass using:

PV = nRT

PV / RT = n

<em>Where P is pressure = 0.980atm</em>

<em>V is volume in Liters = 0.0725L</em>

<em>R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK</em>

<em>T is absolute temperature = 68°C + 273.15 = 341.15K</em>

<em />

0.980atm*0.0725L / 0.082atmL/molK*341.15K = n

2.54x10⁻³ moles = n

Thus, the molar mass of the gas is:

0.207g / 2.54x10⁻³ moles

Selective breeding

The Alleles

DNA

X and Y chromosome from mother and father

Nucleus

Gene

<u>Explanation:</u>

In selective breeding, a specific trait of the animal is considered and the gene coding for that trait is used to create new breeds. Example - cow producing lot of milk.

Genotypes are always expressed by the alleles.
Example - Genotype of Tall plants would be TT or Tt

Information is passed from parents to offsprings from the information stored in DNA.
A gender of an individual is determined by the x chromosomes of mother and X and Y chromosome of father.
X chromosome from mother and X chromosome from father would form a female and X chromosome from mother and Y chromosome from father would form a male.
DNA is located inside the nucleus of the cell
Gene is the segment of chromosome that codes for a specific protein. The non coding segment of chromososme is heterochromatin.

Allushta [10]

A population is a group of individuals of the same species living in a particular area at the same time.

<h3>What is the population?</h3>

The whole number of people or inhabitants in a country or region.

A population is the number of living people that live together in the same place. A city's population is the number of people living in that city. These people are called inhabitants or residents. The population includes all individuals that live in that certain area.

Hence, a group of organisms of the same species that live in an area is called a population.
