Answer:

Explanation:Artificial selection is distinct from natural selection in that it describes selection applied by humans in order to produce genetic change. When artificial selection is imposed, the trait or traits being selected are known, whereas with natural selection they have to be inferred. In most circumstances and unless otherwise qualified, directional selection is applied, i.e., only high-scoring individuals are favored for a quantitative trait. Artificial selection is the basic method of genetic improvement programs for crop plants or livestock (see Selective Breeding). It is also used as a tool in the laboratory to investigate the genetic properties of a trait in a species or population, for example, the magnitude of genetic variance or heritability, the possible duration of and limits to selection, and the correlations among traits, including with fitness.

Match the symbol for each element with the name of the element. 1. hydrogen K 2. helium Mg 3. sodium He 4. magnesium H 5. potass

insens350 [35]

Answer:

1. hydrogen - H

2. helium - He

3. sodium - Na

4. magnesium - Mg

5. potassium - K

Explanation:

Hydrogen is the element of group 1 and first period. The atomic number of hydrogen is 1 and the symbol of the element is H.

The electronic configuration of the element hydrogen is:-

$1s^1$

Helium is the element of group 18 and first period. The atomic number of helium is 2 and the symbol of the element is He.

The electronic configuration of the element helium is:-

$1s^2$

Sodium is the element of group 1 and third period. The atomic number of sodium is 11 and the symbol of the element is Na.

The electronic configuration of the element sodium is:-

$1s^22s^22p^63s^1$

Magnesium is the element of group 2 and third period. The atomic number of magnesium is 12 and the symbol of the element is Mg.

The electronic configuration of the element magnesium is:-

$1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

Potassium is the element of group 1 and forth period. The atomic number of potassium is 19 and the symbol of the element is K.

The electronic configuration of the element potassium is:-

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^1$

If 507 g FeCl2 were used up in the reaction FeCl2 + 2NaOH Fe(OH)2(s) + 2NaCl, how many grams of NaCl would be made?

Ket [755]

Number of moles of FeCl2 used = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 507/126.751 = 4.
If one mole of Fe reacts with two moles of sodium
Then 4 moles of Fe produces 8 moles of sodium.
Number of moles of sodium = mass/molar mass
Molar mass of sodium chloride = 23 +35.5 = 58.5 g/mol
Hence mass = 8 * 58.5 = 468 g. Hence Option A.
