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.

One litre of hydrogen at STP weight 0.09gm of 2 litre of gas at STP weight 2.880gm. Calculate the vapour density and molecular w
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

we know, at STP ( standard temperature and pressure).

we know, volume of 1 mole of gas = 22.4L

weight of 1 Litre of hydrogen gas = 0.09g

so, weight of 22.4 litres of hydrogen gas = 22.4 × 0.09 = 2.016g ≈ 2g = molecular weight of hydrogen gas.

similarly,

weight of 2L of a gas = 2.88gm

so, weight of 22.4 L of the gas = 2.88 × 22.4/2 = 2.88 × 11.2 = 32.256g

hence, molecular weight of the gas = 32.256g

vapor density = molecular weight/2

= 32.256/2 = 16.128g

hence, vapor density of the gas is 16.128g.

A heat energy of 645 J is applied to a sample of glass with a mass of 28.4 g. Its temperature increases from –11.6 ∞C to 15.5 ∞C
Anika [276]
The heat that is required to raise the temperature of an object is calculated through the equation,
                        heat = mass x specific heat x (T2 - T1)
Specific heat is therefore calculated through the equation below,
                                specific heat = heat / (mass x (T2 - T1))
Substituting,
                                specific heat = 645 J / ((28.4 g)(15.5 - - 11.6))
The value of specific heat from above equation is 0.838 J/g°C.
