Answer:

C. Gene

Explanation:

   The gene is a segment of a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule responsible for genetically inherited traits. Each gene consists of a specific DNA sequence that contains a code (instructions) to produce a protein that performs a specific function in the body.

    Most genes are contained in chromosomes. The chromosome consists of a long strand of DNA wrapped around a special protein called histone. Most chromosomes contain several different genes. Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes - one pair of sexual chromosomes (XX in women or XY in men) plus 22 pairs of nonsexual chromosomes called autosomes. Chromosomes are transmitted from parents to children through sperm and eggs. One chromosome from each pair is inherited from the mother and the other from the father.

A compound of a transition metal and iodine is 56.7% metal by mass.How many grams of the metal can be obtained from 630 g of thi
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

357 g of the transition metal are present in 630 grams of the compound of the transition metal and iodine

Explanation:

In any sample of the compound, the percentage by mass of the transition metal is 56.7%. This means that for a 100 g sample of the compound, 56.7 g is the metal while the remaining mass, 43.3 g is iodine.

Given mass of sample compound = 630 g

Calculating the mass of iodine present involves multiplying the percentage by mass composition of the metal by the mass of the given sample;

56.7 % = 56.7/100 = 0.567

Mass of transition metal = 0.567 * 630 = 357.21 g

Therefore, the mass of the transition metal  present in 630 g of the compound is approximately 357 g

Calculate the volume of 1M NaOH required to neutralize 200 cc of 2M HCI. What mass of sodium
Nezavi [6.7K]

NaOH+HCl-> NaCl+H2O

1 mole of NaOH

1 mole of HCl.

To calculate volume of NaOH

CaVa/CbVb= Na/Nb

Where Ca=2M

Cb=1M

Va=200cm³

Vb=xcm³

Substitute into the equation.

2×200/1×Vb=1/1

400/Vb=1/1

Cross multiply

Vb×1=400×1

Vb=400cm³

To calculate the mass of sodium chloride, NaCl from the neutralization rxn.

Mole of NaCl=1

Molar mass of NaCl= 23+35.5=58.5

Mass=xgrammes.

Mass of NaCl=Number of moles × Molar mass.

Substitute

Mass of NaCl= 1×58.5

=58.5g

This is what I could come up with.
