Answer:

7.8 moles are needed.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oxygen produced = 125 g

Number of moles of mercury oxide needed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation;

2HgO → 2Hg + O₂

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 125 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 3.9 mol

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with mercury oxide.

O₂ : HgO

1 : 2

3.9 : 2×3.9 = 7.8 mol

During the Human Genome Project, scientists created a gene map showing the relative location of each known gene on every human c

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Approximately 20,500 genes

Explanation:

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was a 13-year international research effort aimed at determining the entire DNA sequence of the human genome. The HGP was launched in 1990 and completed in April 2013. This project helped to identify and physically map all the genes of the human genome. The sequence obtained from the HGP has been a very useful point of reference in order to identify and characterize mutations associated with genetic disorders. The HGP predicted approximately 20,500 genes (each of them produces an average of three proteins), which are distributed in the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells of our body.

Although the Sun is much larger than the Moon, it does not exert as much gravitational pull

dexar [7]

Answer:

The Sun, just like the Moon and the Earth, also has its own gravity which can affect the tides. Although the Sun is much larger than the Moon and has more gravity, it's also much further away, meaning its pull on the tides is less than half as strong as the Moon's. It still does have an effect, though.

So I think its B
