Rutherford was one of the early scientists who worked on the atomic model. Before his discovery of the nucleus, the widely accepted theory was J.J Thomson's Plum Pudding Model. In this model, all the protons, electrons and neutrons are in the nucleus. But the electrons are more in number such that the electrons act as the 'pudding' and the proton and nucleus the 'plum'. This was Rutherford's hypothesis in his gold foil experiment. In order to test the Plum Pudding model, he hypothesized that when a beam of light is aimed at the atom, it would not diffract because the charges in the nucleus are well-distributed. However, his experiment disproved Thomson's model. Some light indeed passed through but a few was diffracted back to the source. He concluded that this was because there is a dense mass inside the atom called nucleus. Thus, from there on, he proposed the model that the electrons are orbiting around the nucleus.

Mary and her siblings share similar hair color. Which of these cell components are most involved in determining the hair color o

aksik [14]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

1. Mary and her siblings share similar hair color. Which of these cell components are most involved in determining the hair color of each sibling?

Gene, Chromosome, Nucleus

Cytoplasm, Chloroplasts,Genes

Vacuoles, Nucleus, Chromosomes

Chromosomes, Chloroplasts, Vacuoles

Answer:

Gene, Chromosome, Nucleus

Explanation:

Gene is defined in biology as "a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring" (Oxford Dictionary).

The gene is located in the chromosomes in the nucleus of cells. The sum total of the genes that an organism inherits from its parents is called the organisms' genotype and determines certain features of the organism.

The hair colour of Mary and each of her siblings depends on the genes they received from their parents.

How many grams of carbon dioxide will form if 5.5 g of C3H8 burns in 15 g of O2?

mr Goodwill [35]

C3H8+3O2--->3CO2+8H
Therefore for every 1:3 there are 3 Carbon dioxides that form. That means find the limiting reactant from the two reactants.
5.5g(1mole C3H8/44.03g of C3H8)=0.1249 moled of C3H8 and if for every one C3H8 we can form three CO2. We can assume 0.3747 miles of CO2 will be produced.
15g of O2(1 mole O2/32g of O2)=0.4685moles O2 and if for every three O2 we can produce three CO2 we may assume a 1:1 ratio.
This means C3H8 will be your limiting reactant. Therefore 0.3747 moles of CO2 will be produced.
0.3747 moles of CO2(48.01 g of CO2/1 mole of CO2)= 17.99 grams of CO2
