Water is often called a solvent because it is key to so many processes where it acts as exactly that, a solvent. It helps to break waste and nutrients down in the cell so that they can be moved through the various membranes and natural filters in the body.

Answer: genotype: Ee phenotype: two small eyes.

genotype: RR' phenotype: pink eyes

genotype: GB phenotype: green and blue splotches

genotype: cc phenotype: straight

genotype: Tt phenotype: has tail

genotype: Ss phenotype: sharp teeth

genotype: FF' phenotype: three toes

genotype: ww phenotype: white

genotype: YY phenotype: pointy

genotype: nn phenotype: two ears

genotype: Ll phenotype: long

Explanation: hope this helps (the uppercase letters are dominant genes. the lowercase letter are recessive genes. for a recessive gene to show up in a phenotype you need 2 lower case letters such as cc or ss. for a dominant gene to show up in phenotype you need either 1 or 2 uppercase letters such as Cc or SS. Codominant genes present both colors in the phenotypes i.e. a brown and white cow. incomplete dominance is when neither gene is dominant so a mix of the 2 are present in the phenotype i.e. a pink rose. A regulatory gene controls the expression of a gene

What is the percent composition of CuO if a sample of CuO with a mass of 62.5 g contains 12.5 g of oxygen (O) and 50 g of Cu

Arlecino [84]

Percent (%) Composition of CuO

Cu = 1 x 50g - Multiply by one as there is one Cu

O = 1 x 12.5g - Multiply by one as there is one O

CuO = 62.5g

% for Cu = 50g over 62.5 multiplied by 100 = 80%

% for O = 12.5g over 62.5 multiplied by 100 = 20%

Final Answer :

Percent (%) Composition of CuO = 80% (Cu) & 20% (O)

0.50 g of hydrogen chloride (HCl) is dissolved in water to make 4.0 L of solution. What is the pH of the resulting hydrochloric

svlad2 [7]

Explanation:

Given the mass of HCl is ---- 0.50 g

The volume of solution is --- 4.0 L

To determine the pH of the resulting solution, follow the below-shown procedure:

1. Calculate the number of moles of HCl given by using the formula:

$number of moles of a substance=\frac{given mass of the substance}{its molecular mass}$

2. Calculate the molarity of HCl.

3. Calculate pH of the solution using the formula:

$pH=-log[H^+]$

Since HCl is a strong acid, it undergoes complete ionization when dissolved in water.

$HCl(aq)->H^+(aq)+Cl^-(aq)$

Thus, $[HCl]=[H^+]$

Calculation:

1. Number of moles of HCl given:

$number of moles of a substance=\frac{given mass of the substance}{its molecular mass}\\=0.50g/36.5g/mol\\=0.0137mol$

2. Concentration of HCl:

$Molarity of HCl=\frac{number of moles of HCl}{its molar mass}\\=\frac{0.0137 mol}{4.0 L} \\= 0.003425 M$

3. pH of the solution:

$pH=-log[H^+]\\=-log(0.003425)\\=2.47$

Hence, pH of the given solution is 2.47.

A student performed a chemical reaction in which 35 grams of hydrogen and 65 grams of oxygen reacted to form water. What is the

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The mass of the product is 73,06 g

Explanation:

The reaction to form water is:

2H2 + O2 ---> 2H2O

35 g 65 g

Molar mass H2 = 2g/m ---> I have 17,5 moles (35g / 2 g/m)

Molar mass O2 = 32g/m ---> I have 2,03 moles (65g / 32g/m)

2 moles of H2 __reacts with __ 1 mol O2

17,5 moles of H2 __ reacts with ___ (17,5 m . 1 m) / 2 m = 8,75 m

I have just 2,03 m of O2 and I need 8,75 m so O2 is my limiting reagent

1 mol of O2 ___ reacts with 2 moles H2

2,03 moles of O2 __ reacts with (2,03 m . 2 m) / 1 m = 4,06 m

I have 17,5 moles of H2 and I need 4,06 m. H2 is my excess reagent

"All operations are done with the limiting reagent"

1 mol O2 are required____ to form 2 H2O

2,03 mol O2 are required __ to form (2,03m . 2m) / 1m = 4,06 m

Molar mass of water: 18 g/m

Mass of water ----> Molar mass . Moles water = 18 g/m . 4,06 m = 73,08g
