This is the definition of a DNA mutation.

Depending on which part of the genome is affected, the consequences of a mutation may vary. A mutation is said to be hereditary if the mutated genetic sequence is transmitted to the next generation (see germinal mutations). It is one of the elements of biodiversity and one of the many factors that may be involved in the evolution of the species.

Please, What is the mass of oxygen in 72.0g of water? [ H= 1.0; O = 16.0]

yarga [219]

Convert 72g of water into moles of water using molecular weights.

So water is H2O so add up those molecular weights (H=1 and O=16)

2(1)+(16) = 18 g/mol

Then convert so 72g / (18 g/mol) = 4 mol

Now you can convert mol of water to mol of oxygen. So 4 mol of water is 4 mol of oxygen. Then use oxygen molecular weight to find grams again.

4 mol oxygen * 16 g/mol = 64g of oxygen

If we were doing hydrogen instead of oxygen there would be 8 mol hydrogen in 4 mol of water (2 H’s in every H2O molecule) and since we have 74 grams and oxygen is 64 grams, Hydrogen should be 8 grams. Math to check below

8 mol hydrogen * 1 g/mol = 8g of hydrogen

It all adds to 72 so we are correct.

The solubility of acetanilide in hot water (5.5 g/100 ml at 100∘C) is not very great, and its solubility in cold water (0.53 g/

Olin [163]

Answer:

89.4%

Explanation:

Initially, there is 5.0 of the acetanilide in 100 mL of water, then the solution is chilled at 0ºC. The solubility represents the amount that the solvent (water) can dissolve of the solute (acetanilide). So, at 0ºC, 100 mL of water can dissolve till 0.53 g of the compound, the rest will precipitate and will be recovered.

So, the mass that is recovered is 5.0 - 0.53 = 4.47 g

The percent recovery is:

(4.47/5)x100% = 89.4%

A container of gas has a volume of 3.5 L and a pressure of 0.8 atm. Assuming the temperature remains constant, what volume of ga

vovikov84 [41]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

5.6 L

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Initial volume, V1 = 3.5 L
Initial pressure, P1 = 0.8 atm
Final pressure, P2 = 0.5 atm

We are required to calculate the final volume;

According to Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas and the pressure are inversely proportional at a constant temperature.

That is; P α 1/V
Mathematically, P=k/V
At two different pressure and volume;

P1V1 = P2V2

In this case;

Rearranging the formula;

V2 = P1V1 ÷ P2

= (0.8 atm × 3.5 L) ÷ 0.5 atm

= 5.6 L

Therefore, the resulting volume is 5.6 L
