A bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) contains a protein that can kill cotton ballworms and certain other kinds of ca

terpillars. A different bacterium called Agrobacterium tumefaciens has the ability to insert its genetic material into plants. Scientists in the late twentieth century took a gene from (B.t.) and inserted it into specimens of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Genetic material from the Agrobacterium tumefaciens specimens was then inserted into cotton plants. The goal of these tests was to reduce caterpillar infestation in the cotton plants.

An atom gains an electron from another atom. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

<h3>What is an atom?</h3>

An atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines a chemical element. An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons.

When an atom shares electrons with another atom then it results in the formation of a covalent bond.

Whereas when an atom transfer electrons from one atom to another then it results in the formation of an ionic bond.

When the nucleus of an atom splits then it represents a nuclear fission reaction and energy is released during this process.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Titanium is a transition metal used in many alloys because it is extremely strong and lightweight. Titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

a) 226.6 grams of Cl₂

b) 19.2 grams of C

c) 303.2 grams of TiCl₄ and 70.4 grams of CO₂

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is the following:

TiO₂(s) + C(s) + 2 Cl₂(g) → TiCl₄(s) + CO₂(g)

(a) What mass of Cl₂ gas is needed to react with 1.60 mol TiO₂?

From the chemical equation, 1 mol of TiO₂ reacts with 2 moles of Cl₂. So, the stoichiometric ratio is 2 mol Cl₂/1 mol TiO₂. We multiply this ratio by the moles of TiO₂ we have to calculate the moles of Cl₂ we need:

1.60 mol TiO₂ x 2 mol Cl₂/1 mol TiO₂ = 3.2 mol Cl₂

Now, we convert from moles to mass by using the molecular weight (MW) of Cl₂:

MW(Cl₂) = 35.4 g/mol x 2 = 70.8 g/mol

mass of Cl₂= 3.2 mol x 70.8 g/mol = 226.6 g

<em>Therefore, 226.6 grams of Cl₂ are needed to react with 1.6 mol of TiO₂. </em>

(b) What mass of C is needed to react with 1.60 mol of TiO₂?

From the chemical equation, 1 mol of TiO₂ reacts with 1 moles of C(s). So, the stoichiometric ratio is 1 mol C/1 mol TiO₂. We multiply this ratio by the moles of TiO₂ we have to calculate the moles of C(s) we need:

1.60 mol TiO₂ x 1 mol C(s)/1 mol TiO₂ = 1.60 mol C(s)

So, we convert the moles of C(s) to grams as follows:

MW(C) = 12 g/mol

1.60 mol x 12 g/mol = 19.2 g C(s)

<em>Therefore, a mass of 19.2 grams of C is needed to react with 1.60 mol of TiO₂. </em>

(c) What is the mass of all the products formed by reaction with 1.60 mol of TiO₂?

From the chemical equation, we can notice that 1 mol of TiO₂ produces 1 mol of TiCl₄ and 1 mol of CO₂. So, from 1.60 moles of TiO₂, 1 mol of each product will be produced:

1 mol TiO₂/1 mol TiCl₄ ⇒ 1.60 mol TiO₂/1.60 mol TiCl₄

1 mol TiO₂/1 mol CO₂ ⇒ 1.60 mol TiO₂/1.60 mol CO₂

Finally, we convert the moles to grams by using the molecular weight of each compound:

MW(TiCl₄) = 47.9 g/mol Ti + (35.4 g/mol x 4 Cl) = 189.5 g/mol

1.60 mol x 189.5 g/mol = 303.2 g

MW(CO₂) = 12 g/mol C + (16 g/mol x 2 O) = 44 g/mol

1.60 mol x 44 g/mol = 70.4 g

<em>Therefore, from the reaction of 1.60 mol of TiO₂ are formed 303.2 grams of TiCl₄ and 70.4 grams of CO₂.</em>

A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 70 % that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: 2948

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.69}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{5730}=1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

t = age of sample  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = \frac{70}{100}\times 100=70

t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{70}

t=2948years

Thus the fossil is 2948 years old.

Use dimensional analysis to convert 4.68 g of Boron to cubic centimeters of Boron. The density of Boron is 2.34 g/cm^3
harina [27]

Answer:

The cubic centimeter of boron is 2.

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given data:

mass of boron = 4.68 g

density  of boron = 2.34 g/cm³

volume = ? (cm³)

Solution:

d = m/ v

v = m/d

v = 4.68 g/ 2.34 g /cm³

v = 2 cm³
