Chemistry

Nataly [62]3 years ago

During summer, the Earth's orbit brings Australia closer to the sun (as compared to Europe during its summer), resulting in an additional 7% solar UV intensity. Coupled with our clearer atmospheric conditions, this means that Australians are exposed to up to 15% more UV than Europeans.

A 0.271g sample of an unknown vapor occupies 294ml at 140C and 874mmHg. The emperical formula of the compound is CH2. How many m
Phoenix [80]
Using PV = nRT, we can calculate the moles of the sample.
874 mmHg = 116,524 Pa
n = PV/RT
n = 116,524 x 294 x 10⁻⁶ / 8.314 x (140 + 273)
n = 9.98 x 10⁻³ mol

moles = mass / Mr
Mr = 0.271/9.98 x 10⁻³
Mr = 27.2
Mass of empirical formula = 14
Repeat units = 27.2 / 14 ≈ 2

Formula of substance:
C₂H₄

Combustion equation:
C₂H₄ + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 2H₂O

1 mole produces 2 moles of CO₂, so 3 moles will produce 6 moles CO₂

In sexual reproduction, if each chromosome in a pair has the same genes, how is genetic variety possible?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The same genes or slightly different versions of the same gene can be found on each chromosome in a pair. They form a line and split off bits of themselves, which they barter with one another. In sexual reproduction, crossing over is the first method that genes are shuffled to develop genetic variation.
