What types of evidence do scientists use to determine evolutionary relationships among groups

There are several things that can help scientists evaluate which category something belongs to. The similarity in features is one of them. If two skulls looked alike, they were probably species of the same evolutionary category. For example say humans and monkeys rather than humans and dogs.
Similarly fossils have helped scientists categorise species. Study of the chromosomes (in cases with available chromosomes) can help scientists figure out a lot about the subjects and categorise them.

If a sample of sodium chloride with a mass of

alex41 [277]

Original molarity was 1.7 moles of NaCl

Final molarity was 0.36 moles of NaCl

Given Information:

Original (concentrated) solution: 25 g NaCl in a 250 mL solution, solve for molarity

Final (diluted) solution: More water is added to make the new total volume 1.2 liters, solve for the new molarity

1. Solve for the molarity of the original (concentrated) solution.

Molarity (M) = moles of solute (mol) / liters of solution (L)

Convert the given information to the appropriate units before plugging in and solving for molarity.

Molarity (M) = 0.43 mol NaCl solute / 0.250 L solution = 1.7 M NaCl (original solution)

2. Solve for the molarity of the final (diluted) solution.

Remember that the amount of solute remains constant in a dilution problem; it is just the total volume of the solution that changes due to the addition of solvent.

Molarity (M) = 0.43 mol NaCl solute / 1.2 L solution

Molarity (M) of the final solution = 0.36 M NaCl

I hope this helped:))

Complete and balance the following redox equation using the set of smallest whole– number coefficients. Now sum the coefficients

Elena L [17]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation in a acidic solution is,

$BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)+3Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+3Sb^{5+}(aq)$

The sum of the coefficients is, 17

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in acidic solution are :

First we have to write into the two half-reactions.

Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.

Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.

If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the less number of oxygen are present.

If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydrogen ion $(H^+)$ at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.
