Answer:

The various species raised today are distinguished by the quality of the silk they produce. Silkworms feed on the leaves of the mulberries (genus Morus) and sometimes on the Osage orange (Maclura pomifera). Bombyx Mori will not bite, making it an ideal worm for feeding most reptiles, amphibians and other animals.

Silkworms only eat mulberry leaves and/or artificial silkworm diet (Silkworm Chow). If you are going to feed the newly hatched silkworms mulberry leaves instead of Silkworm Chow be sure and only feed them the new growth (tiny 1/2 to 1 inch leaves) or they will not be able to eat them because their jaws are too weak.

The molar solubilities of the following compounds (in mol/L) are:

IceJOKER [234]

Answer: The decreasing order of $K_{sp}$ is $AgSCN>AgBr>AgCN$

Explanation:

For AgBr:

The balanced equilibrium reaction for the ionization of silver bromide follows:

$AgBr\rightleftharpoons Ag^{+}+Br^-$

s s

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be:

$K_{sp}=[Ag^{+}][Br^-]$

We are given:

$s=7.3\times 10^{-7}mol/L$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_{sp}=s\times s\\\\K_{sp}=s^2\\\\K_{sp}=(7.3\times 10{-7})^2=5.33\times 10^{-13}$

Solubility product of AgBr = $5.33\times 10^{-13}$

For AgCN:

The balanced equilibrium reaction for the ionization of silver cyanide follows:

$AgCN\rightleftharpoons Ag^{+}+CN^-$

s s

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be:

$K_{sp}=[Ag^{+}][CN^-]$

We are given:

$s=7.7\times 10^{-9}mol/L$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_{sp}=s\times s\\\\K_{sp}=s^2\\\\K_{sp}=(7.7\times 10{-9})^2=5.93\times 10^{-17}$

Solubility product of AgCN = $5.33\times 10^{-17}$

For AgSCN:

The balanced equilibrium reaction for the ionization of silver thiocyanate follows:

$AgSCN\rightleftharpoons Ag^{+}+SCN^-$

s s

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be:

$K_{sp}=[Ag^{+}][SCN^-]$

We are given:

$s=1.0\times 10^{-6}mol/L$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_{sp}=s\times s\\\\K_{sp}=s^2\\\\K_{sp}=(1.0\times 10{-6})^2=1.0\times 10^{-12}$

Solubility product of AgSCN = $1.0\times 10^{-12}$

The decreasing order of $K_{sp}$ follows:

$AgSCN>AgBr>AgCN$

DNA contains genes that provide instructions for inherited traits. What is the relationship between the genes and chromosomes?

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Genes are segments of DNA that are located on the chromosomes of each cell.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are basically tightly bundled thingies containing genes, DNA, whatever. Phenotype and genotype have nothing to do with chromosomes, that's just how WE describe them.

Inessa [10]

Answer: The correct answer is 1. outside and 2. inside.

Explanation:

During the resting potential (-70 mV), the concentration of Na+ is bigger outside than inside, so this situation generates a trend for moving inside. If we consider a scenario where the resting potential changes from -70 mV to +70 mV, we would realize that the electrical gradient would stop the entrance of Na+ ions and would make them to move outside.
