Which of the following examples could be considered a genetically modified food source?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elden [556K]3 years ago
4 0

“Carrot seeds are injected with a substance derived from parsnips that makes them more resistant to rot” is considered as genetically modified food source.

Option: C

<u>Explanation</u>:

"Genetically modified foods" (GM-Foods) also called "bioengineered food" which is considered different from traditional cross breeding. These foods are developed when an organism carry changes which are injected into their DNA by using genetic engineering method. USA is more developing and fast to launch GM-Foods for example researchers at Texas A&M AgriLife's vegetable and Fruit improvement center observed that calcium absorption is more when consumption is done through carrot. They observed 41% more calcium absorption than regular carrot intake.

Describe a method to calculate the average atomic mass of the sample in the previous question using only the atomic masses of li
alexira [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate their average atomic masses which is otherwise known as the relative atomic mass, we simply multiply the given abundances of the atoms and the given atomic masses.

The abundace is the proportion or percentage or fraction by which each of the isotopes of an element occurs in nature.

This can be expressed below:

        RAM = Σmₙαₙ

where mₙ is the mass of isotope n

           αₙ is the abundance of isotope n

for this problem:

RAM of Li = m₆α₆ + m₇α₇

       m₆ is mass of isotope Li-6

        α₆ is the abundance of isotope Li-6

       m₇ is mass of isotope Li-7

        α₇ is the abundance of isotope Li-7

How many grams of hydrogen are produced if 30.0 g of zinc reacts?
alekssr [168]
<span>0.925 grams if using hydrochloric acid in the reaction. 0.462 grams if using sulfuric acid in the reaction. 0.000 grams if using nitric acid in the reaction. Assuming you're using HCl or a similar acid for this reaction, the equation for the reaction is: Zn + 2 HCl ==> ZnCl2 + H2 So each mole of zinc used, produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas, or 2 moles of hydrogen atoms. So we need to look up the atomic weights of both zinc and hydrogen. Atomic weight zinc = 65.38 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Moles zinc = 30.0 g / 65.38 g/mol = 0.458855919 mol Since we produce 2 moles of hydrogen atoms per mole of zinc, multiply by 2 and the atomic weight of hydrogen to get the mass of hydrogen produced. So 0.458855919 * 2 * 1.00794 = 0.92499847 grams. Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.925 grams. To show the assumption of the acid used, the balanced equation for sulfuric acid would be Zn2 + H2SO4 ==> Zn(SO4)2 + H2 Which means that for every mole of zinc used, 1 mole of hydrogen gas is generated (half that produced via hydrochloric acid). If nitric acid were used, the reaction is 4Zn + 10HNO3 ==> 4Zn(NO3)2 + N2O + 5H2O Which means that NO hydrogen gas is generated. The only justification for assuming hydrochloric acid is used is that it's a fairly common acid that's easy to obtain. But as shown above with 2 alternative acids, the amount of hydrogen gas generated is very dependent upon the exact chemical reaction occurring and asking "How many grams of hydrogen are produced if 30.0 g of zinc reacts?" is a rather silly question unless you specify EXACTLY what the reaction is.</span>

What is the difference between pure and applied chemistry?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The major difference between pure and applied chemistry is the purpose and intent of the study.

Pure chemistry deals with the study of matter, matter transformations, and interactions between the different materials of the world, for only the sake of gaining empirical knowledge about the various substances that exist in the world. It does not really seek to apply this knowledge to do anything industrial.

Applied chemistry is the study of chemistry with the aim of utilizing this knowledge to solve the various problems that man faces. This approach of study is not for knowledge sake alone, rather it is for industrial application
