Answer is: C. A body cell has 46 chromosomes; a sex cell has 23.

Chromosome is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.

Chromosomes in humans are divided into two types:

1) body chromosomes or autosomes.

2) sex chromosomes or allosomes.

When sex cells unite during fertilization, the haploid cells (23 chromosomes) become a diploid cell (46 chropmosomes).

Body cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes (22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes), giving a total of 46 per cell.

6832 J of heat energy is applied to 5.9 mol of water. If the original temperature of the water was 18.60C, the final temperature

sineoko [7]

Answer: The final temperature of the water will be $34.0^0C$

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T$

Q = Heat absorbed= $6832$ Joules

m= mass of water = $5.9mol\times 18g/mol=106.2g$

c = specific heat capacity = $4.184J/g^0C$

Initial temperature of the water = $T_i$ = $18.6^0C$

Final temperature of the water = $T_f$ = ?

Putting in the values, we get:

$6832=106.2\times 4.184\times (T_f-18.6)$

$T_f=34.0^0C$

The final temperature of the water will be $34.0^0C$

How many kL does a 9.51 ´ 109 cL sample contain?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

9.51 × 10⁴ kL

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Volume of the sample (V): 9.51 × 10⁹ cL

Step 2: Convert "V" to liters

We will use the conversion factor 1 L = 100 cL.

9.51 × 10⁹ cL × (1 L / 100 cL) = 9.51 × 10⁷ L

Step 3: Convert "V" to kL

We will use the conversion factor 1 kL = 1000 L.

9.51 × 10⁷ L × (1 kL / 1000 L) = 9.51 × 10⁴ kL

9.51 × 10⁹ cL is equal to 9.51 × 10⁴ kL.
