Answer:
This work was done in the European plum (Prunus domestica). The gene for PPV coat protein was separated from the PPV virus and inserted into the plum DNA, which was then regenerated and grown into complete plum trees. These trees now had the additional gene in their DNA and became resistant to PPV.
This is more of a physics explanation, but here we go.
Mass is a measure of how much "matter" is in an object. Weight is the force applied onto an object by gravity. Weight itself can be related to mass like this:
where g is a gravitational constant. For our purposes, it's defined by whatever planet you are on. Following this, we can demonstrate that mass is NOT the same thing as weight if we take two objects of the same mass and put them on different planets.
Let E refer to Earth and F refer to Mars
Following this, we can see clearly that weight is not the same as mass:
If weight was the same thing as mass, the two values would be the same, as the mass of the two objects is the same. But since weight is defined in the context of gravity, they are not.
Answer:
a) 2.01 g
Explanation:
- Na₂CO₃ (s) + 2AgNO₃ (aq) → Ag₂CO₃ (s) + 2NaNO₃
First we <u>convert 0.0302 mol AgNO₃ to Na₂CO₃ moles</u>, in order to <em>calculate how many Na₂CO₃ moles reacted</em>:
- 0.0302 mol AgNO₃ * = 0.0151 mol Na₂CO₃
So the remaining Na₂CO₃ moles are:
- 0.0340 - 0.0151 = 0.0189 moles Na₂CO₃
Finally we <u>convert Na₂CO₃ moles into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:
- 0.0189 moles Na₂CO₃ * 106 g/mol = 2.003 g Na₂CO₃
The closest answer is option a).
