7 0

Answer:

The mass of butter is 1849 g.

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific gravity of butter = 0.86

Volume = 2.15 L

Mass = ?

Solution:

Specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of density of substance divided by the density of water.

Thus the density of butter is 0.86 g/mL

Formula:

Conversion from L to mL

2.15 /1000 = 2150 mL

d = m/v

0.86 g/mL = m/2150 mL

m =  1849 g

Thus the mass of butter is 1849 g.

If 125g of KClO3 is heated, what is the total mass of the products?​
Andrej [43]

Given parameters:

Mass of KClO₃  = 125g

Unknown:

Total mass of the products = ?

When  KClO₃ is heated, it thermally decomposes to KCl and O₂ according to the chemical equation below;

               2KClO₃  →  2KCl + 3O₂

All chemical equations obeys the law of conservation of matter and with this regard, we know that the amount of reactants used is the same as that of the product.

The total mass of the products must give us 125g according to this law of conservation of matter.

Now to find the masses of each product,

  1. Find the number of moles of the given reactant:

     Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

  molar mass of  KClO₃  = 39 + 35.5 + 3(16)  = 122.5g/mol

    So number of moles of KClO₃ = \frac{125}{122.5}  = 1.02moles

    2. Now, using this number of moles, find the number of moles of the products using this value;

   2 moles of KClO₃ produced 2 moles of KCl

  1.02 moles of KClO₃ will also produce 1.02moles of KCl

   2 moles of KClO₃ produced 3 moles of O₂

   1.02 moles of KClO₃ will produce   \frac{1.02 x 3} {2} mole = 1.53 moles of O₂

   3. Now find the masses of each product;

Mass  = number of moles x molar mass

  molar mass of KCl  = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5g/mol

  molar mass of O₂  = 16 x 2  = 32g/mol

  Mass of KCl  = 74.5 x 1.02  = 75.99g

  Mass of O₂  = 32 x 1.53 = 48.96g

Total mass of products = mass of KCl + Mass of O₂ = 75.99g + 48.96g

                                        = 124.95g

This value is approximately the same as that of mass of  KClO₃

Oxygen has an electronegativity of 3.5, and carbon has an electronegativity of 2.5. how is charge distributed on an oxygen atom
vlabodo [156]
When oxygen has an electronegativity of 3.5, and carbon has an electronegativity of 2.5, then the oxygen atom would have a slightly negative charge. The oxygen atom in  the carbon monoxide molecule would pull more electrons to its side since it has higher electronegativity making it slightly negative and the carbon would have a slightly positive charge as it would contain less electrons. This results to the formation of a polar molecule. A polar molecule is made when the molecule contains a slightly positive end and a slightly negative end. It would have a net dipole which is a result of the partial opposing charges in the molecule.

Do plasmids have an importance beyond the practice of genetic engineering?
kozerog [31]
Answer: Yes

Explanation: Plasmids offer a number of unique characteristics that make genetic engineering much more efficient. Plasmids are a type of non-chromosomal DNA. Integrating DNA into a bacterial or other chromosome is far more complex than simply putting DNA into a cell; plasmids make it easier to transport DNA into a cell by eliminating this step.
