Chemistry
1 answer:
Hunter-Best [27]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer</u>:

Eye colour is one example of a trait caused by the concentration of melanin in genes.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Eye colour is decided based on two distinct factors- pigmentation of the eye’s iris and scattering of the light by the 'stroma of the iris'. It is a 'polygenic phenotypic' character in a human being.  

The pigmentation of the iris varies between brown and  black, that all depends on melanin concentration in the iris stroma, iris pigment epithelium and the cellular density of trauma. Further, the eye colour genetics are complicated and multiple genes are responsible for same.

Compound Y has the elements C, H, N and O. It's exact mass is 91.0425. Answer the following questions. Isotope Exact Mass 1H 1.0
Talja [164]

Answer:

Six C atoms (C₆); five H atoms (H₅); one N atom (N); no O atoms

Explanation:

The rule of 13 states that the formula of a compound is a multiple n of 13 (the molar mass of CH) plus a remainder r.

MF = CₙHₙ₊ᵣ

Y has a molecular mass of 91 u

91/13 =7r0

The formula can't be C₇H₇ because a hydrocarbon must have an even number of H atoms,

The odd mass and the odd number of H atoms make it reasonable to add an N atom and subtract CH₂ (CH₂ = 14):

C₇H₇ + N - CH₂ = C₆H₅N

Check:

6C = 6 × 12.000 = 72.000 u

5H = 5 ×   1.008 =   5.040

1N =  1 × 14.003 =  <u>14.003    </u>

             TOTAL =   91.043 u

This is excellent agreement with the observed mass of 91.0425 u.

There are six  C atoms (C₆)

There are five H atoms (H₅)

There is    one N atom   (N)

There are no   O atoms.

Cyclopropane is more reactive than most cycloalkanes. What factors lead to cyclopropane being less stable than the other cycloal
maw [93]

Answer: The factor that lead to cyclopropane being less stable than the other cycloalkanes is the presence of a RING STRAIN.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, the end carbon atoms of an open aliphatic chain can join together to form a closed system or ring to form cycloalkanes. Such compounds are known as cyclic compounds. Examples include cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane and many among others.

Cyclopropane is less stable than other cycloalkanes mentioned above because of the presence of ring strain in its structural arrangement. The ring strain is the spatial orientation of atoms of the cycloalkane compounds which tend to give off a very high and non favourable energy. The release of heat energy which is stored in the bonds and molecules cause the ring to be UNSTABLE and REACTIVE.

The presence of the ring strain affects mainly the structures and the conformational function of the smaller cycloalkanes. cyclopropane, which is the smallest cycloalkane than the rest mentioned above, contains only 3 carbons with a small ring.
