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.

g Calculate the theoretical yield (in grams) of your product if you start with 0.50 grams of E-stilbene. The molecular weight of
sattari [20]

Answer:

0.9433g

Explanation:

Theoretical yield is defined as the mass produced assuming all reactant reacts producing the product.

Assuming the reaction is 1:1, we need to find the moles of E-stilbene (Reactant). If all reactant reacts, the moles of E-stilbene = Moles of product.

Using the molar mass of the product we can find the theoretical yield as follows:

<em>Moles E-stilbene:</em>

0.50g * (1mol/180.25g) = 0.00277 moles = Moles Product

<em>Mass Product = Theoretical yield:</em>

0.00277 moles * (340.058g/mol) = 0.9433g

Use the periodic table to select which type of bond is present and which of the listed properties is most likely for each substa
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

A = Metallic Bond

B = Strong bonding, strong conductor, high melting and boiling points

Explanation:

Since the bond is between two metals (located in groups 11 and 12), they would experience metallic bonding. Metallically bonded molecules have high melting and boiling points due to the strength of the metallic bond. They also experience strong electrical current due to the there delocalized electrons.

How many grams of h2 are needed to produce 14.51 g of nh3?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

               2.57 g of H₂

Solution:

The Balance Chemical Equation is as follow,

                                          N₂  +  3 H₂    →    2 NH₃

According to Balance equation,

         34.06 g (2 moles) NH₃ is produced by  =  6.04 g (3 moles) of H₂

So,

               14.51 g of NH₃ will be produced by  =  X g of H₂

Solving for X,

                      X  =  (14.51 g × 6.04 g) ÷ 34.06 g

                     X =  2.57 g of H₂
