<h3>Answer:</h3>

8.09 × 10²² formula units

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Mass of MgCl₂ is 12.8 g

Required to calculate the formula units

1 mole of a compound contains the Avogadro's number formula units

That is;

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ formula units

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the moles of MgCl₂ in 12.8 g </h3>

The molar mass of MgCl₂ is 95.211 g/mol

Number of moles = Mass ÷ molar mass

Moles of MgCl₂ = 12.8 g ÷ 95.211 g/mol

                          = 0.1344 mole

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the formula units of MgCl₂</h3>

1 mole =  6.022 × 10²³ formula units

Therefore;

Number of formula units = Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ formula units

                                    = 0.1344 mole × 6.022 × 10²³ formula units

                                     = 8.09 × 10²² formula units

Therefore, there are 8.09 × 10²² formula units in 12.8 g of MgCl₂

Answer:


When <em>a scientist on Earth drops a hammer and a feather at the same time an astronaut on the moon drops a hammer and a feather, the result</em>  expected is that <em>the hammer hits the ground before the feather on Earth, and the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon (option D).</em>


Explanation:


In the abscence of atmosphere (vacuum), the objects fall in free fall. This is, the only force acting on the objects is the gravitational pull, which is directed vertlcally downward.


Under such absecence of air, the equations that rules the motion are:


  • V = Vo + gt
  • d = Vo + gt² / 2
  • Vf² = Vo² + 2gd

As you see, all those equations are independent of the mass and shape of the object. This explains why <em>when an astronaut on the moon drops a hammer and a feather at the same time</em>, <em>the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon</em>, a space body where the gravitational attraction is so small (approximately 1/6 of the gravitational acceleration on Earth) that does not retain atmosphere.


On the other hand, the air (atmosphere) present in Earth  will exert a considerable drag force on the feather (given its shape and small mass), slowing it down, whereas, the effect of the air on the hammer is almost neglectable. In general and as an approximation, the motion of the heavy bodies that fall near the surface is ruled by the free fall equations shown above, so, <em>the result </em>that is<em> expected  when a scientist on Earth drops a hammer and a feather at the same time is that the hammer hits the ground before the feather</em>.

How do the atmosphere conditions near the beginning of Precambrian time contrast with the atmosphere conditions that are present
babunello [35]
The early precambrian atmosphere consisted primarily of nitrogen and carbon dioxide with almost no oxygen. 

<span>Today, the atmosphere contains about 20% oxygen, less carbon dioxide and similar amounts of nitrogen. </span>

<span>Photosynthetic green-leaf plants and trees are largely responsible for the change, converting carbon dioxide to oxygen.</span>

In humans, unattached earlobes are dominant over attached earlobes. Which could be the genotype for someone with attached earlob
matrenka [14]
The genotype for some with attached earlobes would be ee because unattached earlobes are dominant(EE or Ee) which means attached would be recessive(ee).

1. How is the genome like a stack of papers?
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Except for mature red blood cells, all human cells contain a complete genome. DNA in the human genome is arranged into 24 distinct chromosomes—physically separate molecules that range in length from about 50 mil- lion to 250 million base pairs.
