Answer:

Almost every cell? in our body contains our DNA?.

On average, about 99.9 per cent of the DNA between two humans is the same.

The remaining percentage is what makes us unique (unless you are an identical twin!).

Although this might sound like a small amount, it means that there are around three million base pairs? that are different between two people. These differences can be compared and used to help distinguish you from someone else.  

Minisatellites are short sequences (10-60 base pairs long) of repetitive DNA that show greater variation? from one person to the next than other parts of the genome?. This variation is exhibited in the number of repeated units or ‘stutters’ in the minisatellite sequence.

A 42.0g sample of compound containing only C and H was analyzed. The results showed that the sample contained 36.0g of C and 6.0
user100 [1]

Answer:

What is the empirical formula of the compound?

Explanation:

When the relative masses of elements in a hydrocarbon are given, it is possible to use this information to obtain the empirical formula by dividing the given masses of each element by the relative atomic masses of the element. The lowest ratio is now used to divide through to obtain the empirical formula of the compound.

The empirical formula only shows that ratio of atoms of each element present in the compound. From the information provided, the empirical formula of the compound is CH2. Hence the answer.

A compound is 57.1% oxygen and the remainder carbon. using oxygen as the standard (16 amu) and assuming a 1:1 atom ratio, calcul
Delicious77 [7]
Let's start with the amount given in percent. Let our basis be 100 grams of compound. So, that means that in this amount, 57.1 g is oxygen and 100-57.1=42.9 g is carbon. Since there is 1:1 atom ratio, it also means that moles oxygen = moles carbon.

Moles = Mass/Relative Mass
Let x be the relative mass of oxygen

57.1/16 = 42.9/x
Solving for x,
<em>x = 12.02 amu</em>

A solution is made by adding 35.5 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid ( 37.3 wt% , density 1.19 g/mL1.19 g/mL ) to some water i
erastova [34]

Answer:

1.73 M

Explanation:

We must first obtain the concentration of the concentrated acid from the formula;

Co= 10pd/M

Where

Co= concentration of concentrated acid = (the unknown)

p= percentage concentration of concentrated acid= 37.3%

d= density of concentrated acid = 1.19 g/ml

M= Molar mass of the anhydrous acid

Molar mass of anhydrous HCl= 1 +35.5= 36.5 gmol-1

Substituting values;

Co= 10 × 37.3 × 1.19/36.5

Co= 443.87/36.6

Co= 12.16 M

We can now use the dilution formula

CoVo= CdVd

Where;

Co= concentration of concentrated acid= 12.16 M

Vo= volume of concentrated acid = 35.5 ml

Cd= concentration of dilute acid =(the unknown)

Vd= volume of dilute acid = 250ml

Substituting values and making Cd the subject of the formula;

Cd= CoVo/Vd

Cd= 12.16 × 35.5/250

Cd= 1.73 M
