Chemistry
1 answer:
Studentka2010 [4]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C. Mutations are a change in DNA or a chromosome and can be helpful, harmful or may have no affect.

Explanation:

  • Mutations are spontaneous random changes that occurs in the genetic make up of an organisms. Mutations are rare and their rate of occurrence is random.
  • Mutations may occur on the gene level known as gene mutations or at chromosome levels called chromosomal mutations.
  • Mutations may be beneficial, harmful or have no effect on a given organisms. Harmful mutations cause disorders that may lead to abnormality or death of an organisms. Beneficial mutations improve an organisms adaptability to the environment.

15 POINTS PLEASE HELP What volume of water must be added to 35mL of 2.6m KCl to reduce its concentration to 1.2m? Please explain
BartSMP [9]
First, find the volume the solution needs to be diluted to in order to have the desired molarity:
You have to use the equation M₁V₁=M₂V₂ when ever dealing with dilutions.

M₁=the starting concentration of the solution (in this case 2.6M)
V₁=the starting volume of the solution (in this case 0.035L)
M₂=the concentration we want to dilute to (in this case 1.2M)
V₂=the volume of solution needed for the dilution (not given)

Explaining the reasoning behind the above equation:
MV=moles of solute (in this case KCl) because molarity is the moles of solute per Liter of solution so by multiplying the molarity by the volume you are left with the moles of solute.  The moles of solute is a constant since by adding solvent (in this case water) the amount of solute does not change.  That means that M₁V₁=moles of solute=M₂V₂ and that relationship will always be true in any dilution.

Solving for the above equation:
V₂=M₁V₁/M₂
V₂=(2.6M×0.035L)/1.2M
V₂=0.0758 L
That means that the solution needs to be diluted to 75.8mL to have a final concentration of 1.2M.

 Second, Finding the amount of water needed to be added:
Since we know that the volume of the solution was originally 35mL and needed to be diluted to 75.8mL to reach the desired molarity, to find the amount of solvent needed to be added all you do is V₂-V₁ since the difference in the starting volume and final volume is equal to the volume of solvent added.
75.8mL-35mL=40.8mL
40.8mL of water needs to be added

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
Good luck on your quiz!

How does the movement of molecules inside a solid block of iron change as the iron is heated?
gladu [14]
The correct answer among the choices is the first option. The movement of the molecules inside a block of iron when it is heated is affected by the movement being faster as compared to the first conditions. Temperature is said to be directly proportional to kinetic energy which means as temperature increases, the kinetic energy also increases. Therefore, molecules now are moving faster.

Bob is investigating whether the density of water changes with temperature. Which of the following variables should he change in
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

temperature of the water

Explanation:

Density is defied as mass divided by the volume. To investigate how the density of water change with temperature, Bob have the change the temperature and read the volume and mass of the investigated sample.

Even if there is a different salt content between booted water or tap water and have an influence on the density (compared with pure water), this difference is not so big so the change in density with temperature can be determined. Considering that the experiment do not require extreme accuracy,  any type of water may be used (bottled water of tap water).

How many moles of hydrogen are there, if there are 4 molecules of hydrogen?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case, according to the Periodic table

there is 1g of hydrogen per mole. As we know that dihydrogen (H2) has two hydrogen atoms per molecule. So,there will be 2*1g hydrogen per mole=2g dihydrogen per mole.

If there is 2g dihydrogen per mole,and we have 4g,then we know that there is 2 mole dihydrogen in 4g.And for hydrogen there is 4 moles in 4g of hydrogen
