Answer:

only a small percentage of mutations cause genetic disorders most have no impact on health or development. For example, some mutations alter a gene's DNA sequence but do not change the function of the protein made by the gene

A mole of hydrogen atoms has 6.02 x 10^23 atoms. It occupies 22.414 L. How many hydrogen atoms are in 50.00 mL?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

This is a simple case of ratios. (1 mol)/(22.4 L)=(n mol)/(.025 L) Then we cross multiply and we get 22.4n=.025 We divide each side by 22.4 to find n=.001116 mol Then to convert the moles to atoms we multiply, and cross-cancel the units (.001116 mol)/1 xx (6.02 xx 10^23 atms)/(1 mol) and we have 6.72 xx 10^20 atoms.  I've found the trick of cross-cancelling units to be a very effective mnemonic, it always makes sure you carry out the correct calculation to find the desired units.

At 20 ?C the vapor pressure of benzene (C6H6)is 75 torr, and that of toluene (C7H8) is 22 torr
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

(a) Benzene = 0.26; toluene = 0.74

(b) Benzene = 0.55

Explanation:

1. Calculate the composition of the solution

For convenience, let’s call benzene Component 1 and toluene Component 2.

According to Raoult’s Law,  

p_{1} = \chi_{1}p_{1}^{\circ}\\p_{2} = \chi_{2}p_{2}^{\circ}

where

p₁ and p₂ are the vapour pressures of the components above the solution

χ₁ and χ₂ are the mole fractions of the components

p₁° and p₂° are the vapour pressures of the pure components.

Note that

χ₁ + χ₂ = 1

So,  

\begin{array}{rcl}p_{\text{tot}} &=& p_{1} + p_{2}\\p_{\text{tot}} & = & \chi_{1}p_{1}^{\circ}  + (1 - \chi_{1})p_{2}^{\circ}\\36 & = & \chi_{1}\times 75  + (1 - \chi_{1}) \times 22 \\36 & = & 75\chi_{1} + 22 -22\chi_{1}\\14 & = & 53\chi_{1}\\\chi_{1} & = & \mathbf{0.26}\\\end{array}

χ₁ = 0.26 and χ₂ = 0.74

2. Calculate the mole fraction of benzene in the vapour

In the liquid,  

p₁ = χ₁p₁° = 0.26 × 75 mm = 20 mm

∴ In the vapour

\chi_{1} = \dfrac{p_{1}}{p_{\text{tot}} } = \dfrac{\text{20 mm} }{\text{36 mm}}  = 0.55

Note that the vapour composition diagram below has toluene along the horizontal axis. The purple line is the vapour pressure curve for the vapour. Since χ₂ has dropped to 0.45, χ₁ has increased to 0.55.

Why is calcium oxide CaO, and not CaO2?
Mandarinka [93]
The Calcium ion is an Alkaline earth metal and wants to give up the 2 s orbital elections and become a +2 cation.

Oxygen has six valence electrons and is looking to gain two electrons to complete the octet (8) electron count in the valence shell making it a -2 anion.

When the charges of the Calcium +2 and the Oxygen -2 are equal and opposite, the ions for an electrical attraction. (Remember Paula Abdul told us "Opposites Attract")

This one to one ratio of charges makes the formula CaO

Problem 1. (Temperature and thermal equilibrium) Temperature is an indicator of: a. Total energy of the molecules in the system
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The average kinetic energy of the molecules in the system

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory of matter, the particles of a system are in constant motion and collide steadily with one another as well as with the walls of the container.

The average kinetic energy of these molecules in motion is referred to as the temperature of the body. Hence, temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a body.
