Metals are good conductors because the molecules that are inside the metal are tightly packed together. This is why the heat moves through the metal quickly.

46.6 grams of mercury II sulfate (HgSO4) reacts with an excess of sodium Chloride (NaCl). How many grams of mercury II chloride
slega [8]

Answer:

m_{HgCl_2}=42.7gHgCl_2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

HgSO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow HgCl_2+Na_2SO_4

In such a way, the mercury II sulfate (molar mass 296.65g/mol) is in a 1:1 molar ratio with the mercury II chloride (molar mass 271.52g/mol), for that reason the stoichiometry to find mass in grams of mercury II chloride turns out:

m_{HgCl_2}=46.6gHgSO_4*\frac{1molHgSO_4}{296.65 gHgSO_4}*\frac{1molHgCl_2}{1molHgSO_4} *\frac{271.52gHgCl_2}{1molHgCl_2} \\\\m_{HgCl_2}=42.7gHgCl_2

Best regards.

The meselson-stahl experiment demonstrated that DNA replication is semi conservative in the figure semi conservative replication
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D.

Explanation:

The semi-conservative mode of replication is the common method of replication used by mostly organisms on earth which were demonstrated by the Meselson and Stahl in 1958.

They used the isotopes of the nitrogen which contains extra neuron which makes the nitrogen-heavy and cultured them in bacteria

The experiment concluded that newly replicated double stranded DNA contains one newly synthesized DNA strand which is complementary to another parental strand. Thus new DNA molecule has one parental strand while other newly synthesized strand.

This is best illustrated by the option-D in the figure and therefore is the correct answer.
