Which of the following statements correctly relates mutations and survival rates of plants?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer is: Mutations sometimes improve the chances of survival for a plant.
Mutations are very important because they change variability in populations and in that way enable evolutionary change.
There are three types of mutations:
1) good or advantageous mutations - improve the chances of survival for a plant.
2) bad or deleterious - decrease the chances of survival for a plant.
3) neutral - not affect he chances of survival for a plant.

The combustion of propane may be described by the chemical equation C 3 H 8 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 3 CO 2 ( g ) + 4 H 2 O ( g ) C

Kipish [7]

Answer: 72 grams of $O_2(g)$ are needed to completely burn 19.7 g $C_3H_8(g)$

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Putting in the values we get:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{19.7g}{44g/mol}=0.45moles$

$C_3H_8(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of $C_3H_8$ requires 5 moles of oxygen

0.45 moles of $C_3H_8$ require= $\frac{5}{1}\times 0.45=2.25$ moles of oxygen

Mass of $O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2.25\times 32=72g$

72 grams of $O_2(g)$ are needed to completely burn 19.7 g $C_3H_8(g)$
