Answer:

D. Can produce crops having high level of nutrition.

Explanation:

Some benefits of genetic engineering in agriculture are increased crop yields, reduced costs for food or drug production, reduced need for pesticides, enhanced nutrient composition and food quality, resistance to pests and disease, greater food security, and medical benefits to the world's growing population.

Three benefits to genetic engineering are the crops can survive better, leading the farmers to make more money, the crops can grow in more locations, and the plants can be modified to help people

Hello summer roses~ help me with these questions

Olegator [25]

Answer:

The process of "slaking" of lime refers to the use of excess water for hydration. balanced equation: CaO + H₂0 = Ca(OH)₂ + heat released

First lets know which oxide is quick lime - CaO, is basic in nature as a result it combines with acidic oxides using heat. For example we are gonna make it react with silicon dioxide which is a very weak acid: CaO + SiO₂ → CaSiO₃

Hope this helps ~

Why is it important that a hypothesis be stated so that it can be modified?

ANEK [815]

Because you need to know what you are looking for before actually trying something so you can prevent any accidents by doing stuff at random

If 8.50 g of phosphorus reacts with hydrogen gas at 2.00 atm in a 10.0-L container at 298 K, calculate the moles of PH3 produced

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The moles of PH₃ produced are 0.2742 and the total number of moles of gas present at the end of the reaction is 0.6809.

Explanation:

Phosphorus reacts with H₂ according to the balanced equation:

P₄ (s) + 6 H₂ (g) ⇒ 4 PH₃ (g)

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

P₄: 1 mole
H₂: 6 moles
PH₃:4 moles

Being the molar mass of the compounds:

P₄: 124 g/mole
H₂: 2 g/mole
PH₃: 34 g/mole

The following mass amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

P₄: 1 mole* 124 g/mole= 124 g
H₂: 6 mole* 2 g/mole= 12 g
PH₃: 4 moles* 34 g/mole= 136 g

An ideal gas is characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them constitutes the ideal gas law, an equation that relates the three variables if the amount of substance, number of moles n, remains constant and where R is the molar constant of the gases:

P * V = n * R * T

In this case you know:

P= 2 atm
V= 10 L
n= ?
R= 0.082 $\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}$
T= 298 K

Replacing:

2 atm*10 L= n*0.082 $\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}$ *298 K

and solving you get:

$n=\frac{2 atm*10 L}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*298 K }$

n=0.818 moles

The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent is finished, the chemical reaction will stop.

To determine the limiting reagent, you can use a simple rule of three as follows: if 6 moles of H₂ react with 124 g of P₄, 0.818 moles of H₂ with how much mass of P₄ will it react?

$mass of P_{4}=\frac{0.818 moles of H_{2}*124 grams of P_{4}}{6 moles of H_{2}}$

mass of P₄= 16.90 grams

But 16.90 grams of P₄ are not available, 8.50 grams are available. Since you have less mass than you need to react with 0.818 moles of H₂, phosphorus P₄ will be the limiting reagent.

Then you can apply the following rules of three:

If 124 grams of P₄ produce 4 moles of PH₃, 8.50 grams of P₄, how many moles do they produce?

$moles of PH_{3} =\frac{8.5 grams of P_{4}*4 moles of PH_{3} }{124grams of P_{4}}$

moles of PH₃=0.2742

If 124 grams of P₄ react with 6 moles of H₂, 8.50 grams of P₄ with how many moles of H₂ do they react?

$moles of H_{2} =\frac{8.5 grams of P_{4}*6 moles of H_{2} }{124grams of P_{4}}$

moles of H₂= 0.4113

If you have 0.818 moles of H₂, the number of moles of gas H₂ present at the end of the reaction is calculated as:

0.818 - 0.4113= 0.4067

Then the total number of moles of gas present at the end of the reaction will be the sum of the moles of PH₃ gas and H₂ gas that did not react:

0.2742 + 0.4067= 0.6809

Finally, the moles of PH₃ produced are 0.2742 and the total number of moles of gas present at the end of the reaction is 0.6809.

Oxygen gas, generated by the reaction 2KClO3(s)---2KCl(s)+3O2(g), is collected over water at 27•C in 3.72L vassel at a total pre

Julli [10]

Answer:

moles = 0.093 moles

Explanation:

In this case, we know that this reaction is taking plave in a vessel that has a 730 torr of total pressure.

The total pressure is a value obtained by:

Pt = Pwater + PO2

We need to know the pressure of O2, because then, with stoichiometry, we can calculate the moles of KClO3

The pressure of oxygen is:

PO2 = 730 - 26 = 704 Torr

Now, this pressure is in Torr, and we need to convert it to Atm, so:

704 Torr / 760 Torr = 0.9263 atm

Now, let's use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

With this expression, we will calculate the moles of O2, and then, the moles of KClO3:

n = PV/RT

R = 0.082 L atm /K mol

P = 0.9263 atm

V = 3.72 L

T = 27 + 273 = 300 K

Replacing the data:

n = 0.9263 * 3.72 / 300 * 0.082

n = 0.14 moles

Finally, by stoichiometry, we know that 2 moles of KClO3 produces 3 moles of O2, so:

moles of KClO3 = 0.14 * 2/3 = 0.093 moles of KClO3
