Answer:

The probability her 4th child will be a girl is 0.5

Explanation:

during pregnancy or child birth, the gender of a baby is not affected by the gender of the previous baby in the womb. Rather it is determined by the type of chromosomes supplied by the father of the baby.

If X chromosomes are supplied, a girl will be born because the baby will have xx chromosomes. If Y chromosomes are supplied, the baby will have YY chromosomes which means that he is a boy.

Hence there are equal chances of the baby being a boy or a girl, each time a woman is pregnant. The probability of the baby being  a boy or a girl is the same and it 0.5

If 4.35 g of phosphoric acid are added to 5.25g of KOH, what is the percent yield of the reaction if only 3.15g of potassium pho
irina1246 [14]
We are given with
4.35 g Phosphoric acid
5.25 g KOH
3.15 g K3PO4 produced

The reaction is
H3PO4 + 3KOH => K3PO4 + 3H2O

First, convert masses into moles.
Then, determine the limiting reactant.
Next, determine the maximum amount of K3PO4 that can be produced from the limiting reactant.
Lastly, calculate the percent yield by dividing the actual amount produced by the theoretical amount produced.

Which acid has the largest ka.
lbvjy [14]

dissociation of proton from the acid depends upon the central atoms's electronegativity

More is the electronegativity of halogen ⇒ more is its pull on the oxygen ⇒ easier will the bond breakage of O-H ⇒ higher the acidity

In terms of E.N :

Cl > Br > I

so HClO₃ is highest acidity with the highest Ka value
