Answer:

The influenza virus is mutated every 20-40 years.

Explanation:

Large mutations occur every 20-40 years. This results in a new influenza virus to which the human population has no protection. These large mutations are almost always followed by an influenza pandemic.

Hope this helps!

Assume that coal can be represented by the chemical formula C135H96O9NS. If 4.0 tons of coal is burned, what mass of nitrogen is

Schach [20]

Answer:

0.02 tons of NO produced when 4 tons of coal is burned

Explanation:

From the given,

Chemical formula of coal = $C_{134}H_{96}O_{9}NS$

Molecular mass of coal = $(134\times12)+(9\times1)+(9\times16)+14+32\,=1906.1gm$

Let’s calculate the mass of nitrogen in coal

$Percentage\,weight\,of\,nitrogen=\frac{Mass\,of\,nitrogen}{Molecular\,mass\,of coal}$

$Percentage\,weight/,of/,nitrogen=\frac{14}{1906.1}=0.73%$

Amount of coal burnt = 4tons

Amount of NO produced by burning 4tons = $4\,tons\,of\,coal\times \frac{0.73tons}{100\,tons\,of\,coal}=0.0292\,tons$

This nitrogen is converted into NO by reacting with atmospheric oxygen.

A 2.00-g sample of a large biomolecule was dissolved in 15.0 g carbon tetrachloride. the boiling point of this solution was dete

Katarina [22]

We will use boiling point formula:

ΔT = i Kb m

when ΔT is the temperature change from the pure solvent's boiling point to the boiling point of the solution = 77.85 °C - 76.5 °C = 1.35

and Kb is the boiling point constant =5.03

and m = molality

i = vant's Hoff factor

so by substitution, we can get the molality:

1.35 = 1 * 5.03 * m

∴ m = 0.27

when molality = moles / mass Kg

0.27 = moles / 0.015Kg

∴ moles = 0.00405 moles

∴ The molar mass = mass / moles
= 2 g / 0.00405 moles
= 493.8 g /mol
