Answer:

through natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection is the driving mechanism of the evolution of species. Organisms can survive more in an environment if they are capable to adapt the changing environmental conditions. After surviving they are also able to pass their modified trait into their future generations (evolution).

Helpful variations accumulate through natural selection, as the organisms that are better adapted to their environment reproduce offspring with the same variations.

The [α] of pure quinine, an antimalarial drug, is −165. If a solution contains 86% quinine and 14% of its enantiomer (ee = 72%),

ratelena [41]

Answer : The [α] for the solution is, -118.8

Explanation :

Enantiomeric excess : It is defined as the difference between the percentage major enantiomer and the percentage minor enantiomer.

Mathematically,

$\%\text{ Enantiomer excess}=\%\text{ Major enantiomer}-\%\text{ Minor enantiomer}$

Given:

% major enantiomer = 86 %

% minor enantiomer = 14 %

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ Enantiomer excess}=86\%-14\%=72\%$

$\text{ Enantiomer excess}=\frac{72}{100}=0.72$

Now we have to calculate the [α] for the solution.

$[\alpha]=\text{Enantiomer excess}\times [\alpha]_{Pure}$

$[\alpha]=0.72\times -165$

$[\alpha]=-118.8$

Thus, the [α] for the solution is, -118.8

If 5.0 liters H2 (g) at STP is heated to a temperature of 985, pressure remaining constant, the new volume of the gas will be?

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

$V_2=18 \ L \ H_2$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Gas Laws

STP (Standard Conditions for Temperature and Pressure) = 22.4 L per mole at 1 atm, 273 K
Charles' Law: $\frac{V_1}{T_1} =\frac{V_2}{T_2}$

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Initial Volume: 5.0 L H₂ gas

Initial Temp: 273 K

Final Temp: 985 K

Final Volume: ?

Step 2: Solve for new volume

Substitute: $\frac{5 \ L \ H_2}{273 \ K} =\frac{x \ L \ H_2}{985 \ K}$
Cross-multiply: $(5 \ L \ H_2)(985 \ K) = (x \ L \ H_2)(273 \ K)$
Multiply: $4925 \ L \ H_2 \cdot K = 273x \ L \ H_2 \cdot K$
Isolate x: $18.0403 \ L \ H_2 = x$
Rewrite: $x=18.0403 \ L \ H_2$

Step 3: Check

We are given 2 sig figs as the smallest. Follow sig fig rules and round.

$18.0403 \ L \ H_2 \approx 18 \ L \ H_2$

How many seconds would it take to deposit 17.3 g of ag (atomic mass = 107.87) from a solution of agno3 using a current of 10.00

Brums [2.3K]

Data Given:

Time = t = ?

Current = I = 10 A

Faradays Constant = F = 96500

Chemical equivalent = e = 107.86/1 = 107.86 g

Amount Deposited = W = 17.3 g

Solution:
According to Faraday's Law,

W = I t e / F

Solving for t,

t = W F / I e
Putting values,
t = (17.3 g × 96500) ÷ (10 A × 107.86 g)

t = 1547.79 s

t = 1.54 × 10³ s
