What is the purpose of mitosis?

WARRIOR [948]3 years ago

The purpose of mitosis in organisms are endless. But some examples are for tissue repair, growth, asexual reproduction, etc.

Mitosis is the process of cell division where 2 daughter cells are produced and theyre genetically identical to their parent cell. That means, the new cells are completely same to the older cells, same number of chromosomes, same DNA, same function. Therefore, mitosis is super useful for repairing damages tissues, or for growth, where the process of mitosis prevents us from turning into another organism, as the new cells are same as the old ones, and asexual reproduction, where the new offsprings are completely identical to the parent, such as the reproduction of bacteria.

Which of the following molecules is nonpolar?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

1. BF3 This is a trigonal planar molecule; the electron density is drawn into a cloud that circles the Boron, this is made nonpolar by the geometrically equivalent structure of the surrounding electronegative Fluorines.

2. H2O The 2 lone pairs of e- of Oxygen makes the O partially negative, the H’s, partially positive. Polar.

3. NF3 Lone pair on Nitrogen overwhelmed by the 3 incredibly electronegative Fluorines. Polar

4. CH3Br The “Soft Ion” of Bromine is negative; it is electronegative. Polar.

5. SO2 the lone pairs of Oxygen, at approximately 119°-120° angles to one another will form a reasonance structure; there will be more lone pairs about the Oxygen than the Sulfur; the Sulfur will be partially positive compared to the oxygens. Polar.

Assume that silver and gold form ideal, random mixtures. Calculate the mass of pure Ag needed to cause an entropy increase of 20
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

m_{Ag}=2,265.9g

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the definition of entropy in a random mixture is:

\Delta S=-n_TR\Sigma[x_i*ln(x_i)]

For this silver-gold mixture we write:

\Delta S=-(n_{Au}+n_{Ag})R\Sigma[\frac{n_{Au}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} *ln(\frac{n_{Au}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} )+\frac{n_{Ag}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} *ln(\frac{n_{Ag}}{n_{Au}+n_{Ag}} )]

By knowing the moles of gold:

n_{Au}=100g*\frac{1mol}{197g} =0.508mol

It is possible to write the aforementioned formula in terms of the variable x representing the moles of silver:

20\frac{J}{mol}=-(0.508+x)8.314\frac{J}{mol*K} \Sigma[\frac{0.508}{0.508+x} *ln(\frac{0.508}{0.508+x} )+\frac{x}{0.508+x} *ln(\frac{x}{0.508+x} )]

Which can be solved via Newton-Raphson or a solver software, in this case, I will provide you the answer:

x=n_{Ag}=21.0molAg

So the mass is:

m_{Ag}=21.0mol*\frac{107.9g}{1mol}\\ \\m_{Ag}=2,265.9g

Best regards!
