Answer:

They represent it by ensuring that the number of atoms of each element (matter) in the reactant side is the same as the product side

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter stated that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Chemical equations involve combining atoms of elements. The compounds combined by chemists are called REACTANTS while the produced compounds are called PRODUCTS.

In order to conform to the law of conservation of matter, the same quantity of matter present in the reactants must be present in the products. This means that the number of atoms of each element (matter) in the reactant side must be the same as the product side. For example;

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

In this chemical equation for photosynthesis, number of atoms in the reactant side (6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 18 oxygen) are the same as that in the product side (6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 18 oxygen), hence, this obeys the law of conservation of mass.

In a nutshell, chemists chemists properly represent the law of conservation of matter in their chemical equations by making sure that same number of atoms of reactants is present in the products.

guapka [62]

Answer:

a) ∆T=T1-T2

b) At the particle level the temperature changes are the result of the added energy causing the particles of water to move more vigorously. Either the particles of solid vibrate more vigorously about their fixed positions or the particles of liquid and gas move about their container more rapidly.

c) The state in which two substances in physical contact do not share any heat energy. The temperature of two substances in thermal equilibrium is said to be the same. Also see thermodynamics.

The freezing point of benzene is 5.5°C. What is the freezing point of a solution of 2.60 g of naphthalene (C10H8) in 675 g of be

Mrac [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The freezing point of solution is 5.35°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate depression in freezing point follows:

$\Delta T_f=\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}$

To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_f=iK_fm$

Or,

$\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}=i\times K_f\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

where,

Freezing point of pure solution = 5.5°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (For non-electrolytes)

$K_f$ = molal freezing point elevation constant = 4.90°C/m

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (naphthalene) = 2.60 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (naphthalene) = 128.2 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (benzene) = 675 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5.5-\text{Freezing point of solution}=1\times 4.90^oC/m\times \frac{2.60\times 1000}{128.2g/mol\times 675}\\\\\text{Freezing point of solution}=5.35^oC$

Hence, the freezing point of solution is 5.35°C

Use a Punnett square. In rabbits, black fur is dominant over white fur. What percentage of offspring will be white if a heterozy

blsea [12.9K]

<h2>Answer 1:</h2>

Option D is correct: 0%

Percentage of offspring will be 0% white if a heterozygous male and homozygous dominant female have offspring.

<h2>Answer 2:</h2>

Option A is correct: 75%

Two parents who are heterozygous are expecting a child. the percentage that the child will have free ear lobes will be 75%.

<h2>Answer 3:</h2>

Option A is correct: 25%

Two parents who are heterozygous are expecting a child. 25 is the percentage that the child be homozygous dominant.

<h2>Answer 4:</h2>

Option D is correct: 25%

If a homozyous recessive and a heterozygous plant have offspring. 25 will percentage will have smooth seeds.

<h2>Answer 5:</h2>

Option D is correct: 0%

If a homozyous recessive and a heterozygous plant have offspring. There will 0% chances that offsprings will be homozygous dominant.

<h2>Answer 6:</h2>

Option D is correct: substitution

In this question one of base thymine at 7 number is substituted with another base Adenine.

<h2>Answer 7:</h2>

Option A is correct: Incomplete dominance

Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the phenotypes of both alleles.

<h2>Answer 8:</h2>

Option A is correct: T T C G A A T C T G T A T G A C

After the insertion of a new base thymine the new sequence will be of option A.

<h2>Answer 9:</h2>

True

Yes this is true that "Environmental influences and genetics can determine a person's phenotype".

<h2>Answer 10:</h2>

Option B is correct: selective breeding

Humans have been choosing desired traits of livestock and pets for centuries by breeding organisms that they choose with the traits they desire. This process is called selective breeding.

<h2>Answer 11:</h2>

homologous chromosomes

karyotyping is a test that evaluates the number and structure of a person's chromosomes in order to detect abnormalities. Chromosomes are thread-like structures within each cell nucleus and contain the body's genetic blueprint.
