Evolution is the gradual process resulting in the changes in the genetic material of a population over generations. The mechanism that Darwin proposed for evolution is the process of natural selection. Natural selection is the key mechanism of evolution which increases the frequency of advantageous alleles in a population.  Due to the limited resources in nature, organism with heritable traits favoring their survival and reproduction produce more offspring. It causes the population to become adapted to their environment and results in organisms with better survival ability and reproduction. These traits become heritable due to the reproductive advantage and are passed from the parents to the offspring. Over generations, the advantageous heritable trait becomes dominant in the population. It is responsible for the variation in the gene pool of the population which increases their fitness.

Calcule la molalidad de una<br> 20g Ca Cl₂ en 250g de<br> que contiene<br> solucion<br> H₂O.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The solution is 0, 90 molal. See the explanation below, please

Explanation:

Molality is defined as moles of solute in 1 kg of solvent (1000 grams). The following three simple rule must be performed:

We calculate the weight of 1 mol of CaCl2

Weight Ca =40, 078 g

Weight Cl= 35, 453 g

Weight of 1 mol of CaCl2=40, 078g + 2x (35, 453g )= 110, 98g

110, 98 g ---1 mol

25 g---X= (25g x1 mol)/110, 98g= 0,23mol

250g solvent -----0,23 mol CaCl2 (the solute)

1000g solvent ----X = (1000g x0,23mol)/250g =0,90 mol solute

The solution is 0,90 molal
