Explanation:

Mutations on DNA create genetic variation and diversity on which natural selection acts upon. Mutation can be advantageous, disadvantageous or neutral. Those mutations that confer advantage are preserved in the population while those that are DISadvantageous are weeded out. This occurs because advantageous traits that give a particular advantage to individuals in the environment, however slightest, give them an increased chance of survival and passing their genes to subsequent generations.

An example is mutation that causes sickle cell-shaped blood cells. Individuals with sickle cell blood are less likely to contract malaria. Therefore in an environment where malaria is endemic, the population will have a higher allele frequency for sickle cell alleles that populations in non-endemic areas.

Part a use these data to calculate the heat of hydrogenation of buta-1,3-diene to butane. c4h6(g)+2h2(g)→c4h10(g)
Reptile [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The heat of hydrogenation of the reaction is coming out to be 234.2 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as \Delta H

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_{(reactant)}]

For the given chemical reaction:

C_4H_6(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_4H_{10}(g)

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H_{(C_4H_{10})})]-[(1\times \Delta H_{(C_4H_6)})+(2\times \Delta H_{(H_2)})]

We are given:

\Delta H_{(C_4H_{10})}=-2877.6kJ/mol\\\Delta H_{(C_4H_6)}=-2540.2kJ/mol\\\Delta H_{(H_2)}=-285.8kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times (-2877.6))]-[(1\times (-2540.2))+(2\times (-285.8))]\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=234.2J

Hence, the heat of hydrogenation of the reaction is coming out to be 234.2 kJ.

When the ph of an aqueous solution is changed from 1 to 2, the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution is.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

decreased by a factor of 10

Explanation:

pH is defined in such a way that;

pH= −log10(H)

Where H represents the concentration of Hydronium or Hydrogen ions

Given that pH is changed from 1 to 2,

By rearranging the above formula , we get 10−pH = H

  • if pH=1,H=10−1=0.1M
  • if pH=2,H=10−2=0.01M

Therefore,  0.1/0.01 = 10 and 0.1 > 0.01

Hence, the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution is decreased by a factor of 10

Write equations to show whether the solubility of either of the following is affected by pH: (b) Hg₂(CN)₂.
nata0808 [166]

<u> Increasing pH will increase the solubility of the Hg2(CN)2 by shifting </u><u>equilibrium </u><u>to right side.</u>

What is the meaning of OH in chemistry?

The chemical group, ion, or radical OH that consists of one atom of hydrogen and one of oxygen and is neutral or negatively charged.

Hg2(CN)2 + 2OH-  ----> 2HgO(s) + 2HCN

adding OH- to the mercury(l) cyanide  will cause the formation of the solid HgO.

therefore increasing pH will increase the solubility of the Hg2(CN)2 by shifting equilibrium to right side.
