Answer:
The mole is simply a very large number that is used by chemists as a unit of measurement.
Explanation:
The mole is simply a very large number,
6.022
×
10
23
, that has a special property. If I have
6.022
×
10
23
hydrogen atoms, I have a mass of 1 gram of hydrogen atoms . If I have
6.022
×
10
23
H
2
molecules, I have a mass of 2 gram of hydrogen molecules. If I have
6.022
×
10
23
C
atoms, I have (approximately!) 12 grams.
The mole is thus the link between the micro world of atoms and molecules, and the macro world of grams and litres, the which we can easily measure by mass or volume. The masses for a mole of each element are given on the periodic table as the atomic weight. So, if have 12 g of
C
, I know, fairly precisely, how many atoms of carbon I have. Given this quantity, I know how many molecules of
O
2
are required to react with the
C
, which I could measure by mass or by volume.
The volume of the granite piece in Cm³ is 12.2 cm³
<u><em>calculation</em></u>
volume of granite = (volume of cylinder after placing granite - volume of cylinder before placing granite
= 37.2 ml - 25.0 ml = 12.2 ml
convert ml to Cm³
that is 1 ml = 1 cm³
12.2 ml = ? cm³
<em>by cross multiplication</em>
=(12.2 ml x 1 cm³) / 1 ml = 12.2 cm³

<u>-to determine how long ago two species of animals shared an ancestor</u>
<u></u>
The molecular lock describes a method which utilizes mutation rates for DNA over time, to determine the divergence of two species sharing common ancestry,due to evolution. Along with genetic drift, selective mating and natural selection, evolution may occur within populations due to spontaneous heritable changes to DNA, called mutations, over time.
Further Explanation:
During reproduction, other events, such as crossing over during mitosis and meiosis, mutations lead to increases in genetic variation. This variation refers to the genetic characteristics present within a species. Mutations may be either beneficial or deleterious; they are maintained within cells, as they form new traits called alleles. Beneficial mutations may confer traits that increase the fitness of a species, along with ensuring survival by conferring a protective advantage- these phenotypic differences between organisms are called adaptations.
Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.
