Evaluate what advantage might asexual reproduction by fission have compared to sexual reproduction

Pani-rosa [81]

In the absence of a female or male an organism can still replicate giving it an evolutionary advantage which prevents it from becoming extinct. sexual reproduction requires an egg and sperm to fertilise it where as asexual reproduction is just simply the organism dividing into 2 identical usually organisms

hope that helps

Which of the following best defines molar mass?

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

D. the mass of one mole of a substance

Explanation:

The molar mass of a substance is the mass in grams of one mole of the substance.

For an element, the molar mass is the relative atoms mass expressed in grams.
For example 23g of Na, 40g of oxygen
For compounds, molar mass is the gram -formula or gram - molecular weight.
This is determined by the addition of its component atomic masses and then expressed in grams.

Classify each chemical compound listed in the table below.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Please find attached the table of classification of the chemical compounds, created with Microsoft Word

Explanation:

The given compounds are;

H₂SO₃ is an acid which is known as sulfurous acid

When SO₂ is added to water, we have;

SO₂ + H₂O ⇄ HSO₃ + H⁺

Therefore, H₂SO₃ is ionic

2) HI which is known as hydrogen iodide, dissolves in water as follows

HI (g) + H₂O (l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + I⁻(aq)

Therefore, HI is able to donate hydrogen ions therefore, it is both acidic and ionic

3) KI is a salt of the alkali metal, potassium, and iodine which is a group 7 element such that it formed by the transfer of electrons from potassium to iodine making it an ionic compound

KI forms a slightly alkaline solution

4) NaClO₃ comprises of the ionic combination of sodium and chlorate ions which dissolves in water as follows;

NaClO₃ → Na⁺(aq) + ClO₃⁻(aq)

Therefore, NaClO₃ is ionic

NaClO₃ is also a strong oxidizing agent, making a Br∅nsted acid

we have;

Sulfurous acid (also Sulfuric(IV) acid, Sulphuric acid (UK), Sulphuric(IV) acid (UK)) is the chemical compound with the formula H2SO3. There is no evidence that sulfurous acid exists in solution, but the molecule has been detected in the gas phase.[1] The conjugate bases of this elusive acid are, however, common anions, bisulfite (or hydrogen sulfite) and sulfite.

What is the Law of conservation of mass? If one was given the mass of all the products, would it be possible to find the missing

DaniilM [7]

Learning Objective

Define the law of conservation of mass
Key Points

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations.
According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.
The law of conservation of mass is useful for a number of calculations and can be used to solve for unknown masses, such the amount of gas consumed or produced during a reaction.
Terms

reactantAny of the participants present at the start of a chemical reaction. Also, a molecule before it undergoes a chemical change.
law of conservation of massA law that states that mass cannot be created or destroyed; it is merely rearranged.
productA chemical substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
History of the Law of the Conservation of Mass

The ancient Greeks first proposed the idea that the total amount of matter in the universe is constant. However, Antoine Lavoisier described the law of conservation of mass (or the principle of mass/matter conservation) as a fundamental principle of physics in 1789.

Antoine LavoisierA portrait of Antoine Lavoisier, the scientist credited with the discovery of the law of conservation of mass.
This law states that, despite chemical reactions or physical transformations, mass is conserved — that is, it cannot be created or destroyed — within an isolated system. In other words, in a chemical reaction, the mass of the products will always be equal to the mass of the reactants.

The Law of Conservation of Mass-Energy

This law was later amended by Einstein in the law of conservation of mass-energy, which describes the fact that the total mass and energy in a system remain constant. This amendment incorporates the fact that mass and energy can be converted from one to another. However, the law of conservation of mass remains a useful concept in chemistry, since the energy produced or consumed in a typical chemical reaction accounts for a minute amount of mass.

We can therefore visualize chemical reactions as the rearrangement of atoms and bonds, while the number of atoms involved in a reaction remains unchanged. This assumption allows us to represent a chemical reaction as a balanced equation, in which the number of moles of any element involved is the same on both sides of the equation. An additional useful application of this law is the determination of the masses of gaseous reactants and products. If the sums of the solid or liquid reactants and products are known, any remaining mass can be assigned to gas.
