how do you identify a pure metal if you have a balance of a graduated cylinder and a table of densities for metals?

1 answer:

4 0

We determine the mass of the metal in grams by weighing it using the balance. Next we obtain the volume of the metal by measuring its displacement with a graduated cylinder and water in the following way: 1.measure amount of water in the graduated cylinder. 2. Place metal into the graduated cylinder 3. Measure the amount of water in the graduated cylinder 4. Subtract step 1 from step 3. The difference is the metal's volume. Once we have found out the mass and the volume then we calculate the density using the formula: Density = Mass/Volume. We then check our answer from the known densities of metals in the table of densities that has been provided and determine the identity and purity of the metal by how close our answer is to the most probable value in the table.

Diagram of a dividing cell of an organism which has a diploid chromosome<br> number of 4

Nata [24]

The type of cell division observed in the Figure is Meiosis. It can be deciphered by the presence of recombination between homo-logous chromosomes.

<h3>What is Meiosis?</h3>

Meiosis is a type of reductional cell division by which a cell produces four daughter cells having half of the genetic material.

Meiosis is a cell division that involves a genetic phenomenon known as recombination or crossing over.

Recombination refers to the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids during Prophase I.

Which of the following is true of Mendelian inheritance

Ksivusya [100]

<h2><u>Answer</u> :</h2>

The correct option is A. If a dominant allele is present, the recessive allele won’t be seen.

The dominant allele is the one which appear, and the recessive one isn't shown.

For example - If a person has 2 alleles of eye colour as B ( black ) and b ( brown ), in which black is dominant and the brown one is recessive, then the person will have black eye colour because only dominant allele shows its characteristics.
