Answer:

A bacterium splits in half, forming two new bacteria

Explanation:

Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information

For metallic structures, does the packing efficiency (see sample exercise 12.1 in textbook) increase or decrease as the number o

qaws [65]

Metallic solids or metallic structures experience metallic bonds which are the forces of attractions between the sea of electrons and the nucleus of the metallic atoms. They share a network of highly delocalized electrons.
I therefore think that the packing efficiency decreases as the number of nearest neighbors decreases.

suppose that you are comparing several objects. is it correct to say that the object with the largest volume has the largest mas

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is not correct to say that an object with the largest volume has the largest mass.

Mass and volume are not directly related. In fact, the relationship between them can be direct or inverse.

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance. Volume is the space a body occupies.

A balloon and a stone for example is a typical one.
A balloon has more volume but far lesser mass compared to a stone.
A stone, gravel sized has low volume but more massive than a balloon.

Therefore, it is wrong to say a balloon has more mass because it has more volume.

The Ostwald process is used commercially to produce nitric acid, which is, in turn, used in many modern chemical processes. In t

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Mass = 42.8g

Explanation:

4 NH 3 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 4 NO ( g ) + 6 H 2 O ( g )

Observe that every 4 mole of ammonia requires 5 moles of oxygen to obtain 4 moles of Nitrogen oxide and 6 moles of water.

Step 1: Determine the balanced chemical equation for the chemical reaction.

The balanced chemical equation is already given.

Step 2: Convert all given information into moles (through the use of molar mass as a conversion factor).

Ammonia = 63.4g × 1mol / 17.031 g = 3.7226mol

Oxygen = 63.4g × 1mol / 32g = 1.9813mol

Step 3: Calculate the mole ratio from the given information. Compare the calculated ratio to the actual ratio.

If all of the 1.9831 moles of oxygen were to be used up, there would need to be 1.9831 × 4 / 5 or 1.5865 moles of Ammonia. We have 3.72226 moles of ammonia - Far excess. Because there is an excess of Ammonia, the Oxygen amount is used to calculate the amount of the products in the reaction.

Step 4: Use the amount of limiting reactant to calculate the amount of H2O produced.

5 moles of O2 = 6 moles of H2O

1.9831 moles = x

x = (1.9831 * 6 ) / 5

x = 2.37972 moles

Mass of H2O = Molar mass * Molar mass

Mass = 2.7972 * 18

Mass = 42.8g

The equations given in the problem introduction can be added together to give the following reaction: overall: N2O4→2NO2 However

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Reverse the $2 NO_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$ reaction

Explanation:

Reactions:

$2 NO_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$

Overall:

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO_2$

As can be seen, in the overall reaction we have $N_2O_4$ in the reactants like in the second reaction and $NO_2$ in the products. The $NO_2$ is in the first reaction but as a reactant so we need to reverse that reaction:
