To solve this problem, we must assume ideal gas behaviour so that we can use Graham’s law:

vA / vB = sqrt (MW_B / MW_A)

where,

<span>vA = speed of diffusion of A  (HBR)</span>

vB = speed of diffusion of B (unknown)

MW_B = molecular weight of B (unkown)

MW_A = molar weight of HBr = 80.91 amu

 

We know from the given that:

vA / vB = 1 / 1.49

 

So,

1/1.49 = sqrt (MW_B / 80.91)

MW_B = 36.44 g/mol

 

Since this unknown is also hydrogen halide, therefore this must be in the form of HX.

HX = 36.44 g/mol , therefore:

x = 35.44 g/mol

 

From the Periodic Table, Chlorine (Cl) has a molar mass of 35.44 g/mol. Therefore the hydrogen halide is:

HCl

How is genetic information is the same as a plum tree.
shutvik [7]

Answer:

This work was done in the European plum (Prunus domestica). The gene for PPV coat protein was separated from the PPV virus and inserted into the plum DNA, which was then regenerated and grown into complete plum trees. These trees now had the additional gene in their DNA and became resistant to PPV.
