Which trait is most likely a result of artificial selection

Chemistry
1 answer:
ycow [4]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Be sure to answer all parts. Dimercaprol (HSCH2CHSHCH2OH) was developed during World War I as an antidote to arsenic-based poiso
Sauron [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For A:</u> The number of arsenic atoms are 3.4\times 10^{21}

<u>For B:</u> The percent composition of mercury, thallium and chromium in their complexes are 61.76 %, 62.2 % and 29.51 % respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For A:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of dimercaprol = 696 mg = 0.696 g    (Conversion factor:  1 g = 1000 mg)

Molar mass of dimercaprol = 124.21 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of dimercaprol}=\frac{0.696g}{124.21g/mol}=0.0056mol

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of molecules.

So, 0.0056 moles of dimercaprol will contain 0.0056\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=3.4\times 10^{21} number of molecules.

As, 1 molecule of dimercaprol binds with 1 atom of Arsenic

So, 3.4\times 10^{21} number of dimercaprol molecules will bind with = 1\times 3.4\times 10^{21}=3.4\times 10^{21} number of arsenic atoms

Hence, the number of arsenic atoms are 3.4\times 10^{21}

  • <u>For B:</u>

We know that:

Molar mass of dimercaprol = 124.21 g/mol

Molar mass of mercury = 200.59 g/mol

Molar mass of thallium = 204.38 g/mol

Molar mass of chromium = 51.99 g/mol

Also, 1 molecule of dimercaprol binds with 1 metal atom.

To calculate the percentage composition of metal in a complex, we use the equation:

\%\text{ composition of metal}=\frac{\text{Mass of metal}}{\text{Mass of complex}}\times 100     ......(1)

  • <u>For mercury:</u>

Mass of Hg-complex = (200.59 + 124.21) = 324.8 g

Mass of mercury = 200.59 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\%\text{ composition of mercury}=\frac{200.59g}{324.8g}\times 100=61.76\%

  • <u>For thallium:</u>

Mass of Tl-complex = (204.38 + 124.21) = 328.59 g

Mass of thallium = 204.38 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\%\text{ composition of thallium}=\frac{204.38g}{328.59g}\times 100=62.2\%

  • <u>For chromium:</u>

Mass of Cr-complex = (51.99 + 124.21) = 176.2 g

Mass of chromium = 51.99 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\%\text{ composition of chromium}=\frac{51.99g}{176.2g}\times 100=29.51\%

Hence, the percent composition of mercury, thallium and chromium in their complexes are 61.76 %, 62.2 % and 29.51 % respectively.

Translation: Explain the importance of energy levels,
tigry1 [53]

Answer: Formation of a stable Duplet or Octet structure

Explanation:

Energy levels refers to the definite amount of energies that electrons can have when occupying specific orbitals.

Examples are:

Level 1 as in 1s

Level 2 as in 2s, 2p

Level 3 as in 3s 3p 3d

Level 4 as in 4s 4p 4d 4f

Level 5 as in 5s .......

Level 6 as in 6s .........

Electrons can be excited to higher energy levels by absorbing energy from the surroundings during chemical reactions and so forming chemical bonds like ionic, covalent etc.

A perfect example is Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) in Sodium chloride (NaCl)

Sodium has atomic number of 11, so energy level is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s1

Chlorine has atomic number of 17, so energy level is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p5

You will notice that the both Na and Cl, has electrons in the energy level 3. Then, the bond formed must be one that lead to the formation of a OCTET structure: as in Na gives off its 3s1 electron TO Cl.

Thus, Cl now becomes 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6 - an OCTET STRUCTURE (with completely filled outershell and full energy level 3) in NACl.

So, a duplet or Octet structure is the answer

Calculate the silver ion concentration in a saturated solution of silver(i) sulfate (ksp = 1.4 × 10–5).
deff fn [24]

Answer:

= 0.030 M

Explanation:

We can take x to be the concentration in mol/L of Ag2SO4 that dissolves  

Therefore;  concentration of  Ag+ is 2x mol/L and that of SO4^2- x mol/L.

Ksp = 1.4 x 10^-5

Ksp = [Ag+]^2 [SO42-]

      = (2x)^2(x)

      = 4x^3  

Thus;

4x^3  = 1.4 x 10^-5

         = 0.015 M

molar solubility = 0.015 M

But;

[Ag+]= 2x

Hence; silver ion concentration is

= 2 x 0.015 M

= 0.030 M
