Answer:

An organism’s phenotype may influence its ability to find food, and also might affect the organism’s ability to reproduce and pass on favorable alleles.

An organism’s phenotype may influence its ability to produce chromosomes and pass those chromosomes to future generations

An organism’s phenotype may influence its ability to turn on certiain genes necessary for survival.

An organism’s phenotype is not connected with the chances for a species to survive.

A

Phenotype is the physical appearance of an organism as distinguished from its genetic makeup. The phenotype of an organism depends on which genes are dominant and on the interaction between genes and environment.

What are “condensation nuclei”?

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Cloud condensation nuclei or CCNs are small particles typically 0.2 µm, or 1/100 the size of a cloud droplet on which water vapor condenses. Water requires a non-gaseous surface to make the transition from a vapour to a liquid; this process is called condensation.

Rank the following in terms of decreasing miscibility in C₈H₁₈ (octane), a major component of gasoline:

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

In order of decreasing miscibility

C₉H₂₀ (nonane)→C₂H₅F (fluoroethane)→C₂H₅Cl (chloroethane)→H₂O (water)

Explanation:

The solubility of a solid is a measure of its ability to dissolve in a liquid while for liquids, the miscibility is a measure of thhe liquid to mix with anoyjer liquid resulting in a soltion which can hold any amount of either liquids. Immiscible liquids are those that are not soluble or have very limited solibility with each other.

C₉H₂₀ (nonane)→C₂H₅F (fluoroethane)→C₂H₅Cl (chloroethane)→H₂O (water)

In the order of decreasing miscibility as like dissolve like, ability to dissociate and polar and organic characteristics are considered

A 46.9 gram sample of a substance has a volume of about 3.5 centimeters3. It is solid at a room temperature of 23ºC. Out of the

horrorfan [7]

Answer : (C) Hafnium is the most likely identity of the given substance.

Solution : Given,

Mass of given substance (m) = 46.9 g

Volume of given substance (V) = 3.5 $Cm^{3}$

First, find the Density of given substance.

Formula used :

$Density=\frac{\text{Mass of given substance}}{\text{Voume of given substance}}$

Now,put all the values in this formula, we get

$Density=\frac{46.9 g}{3.5 Cm^{3} }$ = 13.4 g/ $Cm^{3}$

So, we conclude that the density of given substance (13.4 g/ $Cm^{3}$ ) is approximately equal to the density of Mercury and Hafnium (13.53 and 13.31 g/ $Cm^{3}$ respectively).

According to the question the substance is solid at room temperature but Mercury is liquid at room temperature. So, Mercury is not identical to the given substance.

Another element i.e, Hafnium is the element whose density is approximately equal to the given substance and also solid at room temperature. And we know that the melting point of solid is high.

So, Hafnium is the most likely element which is the identity of the given substance.

A reaction produces 10.5 L if oxygen, but was supposed to produce 1 mol of oxygen. What is the percent yield ? (One mole of any

Rzqust [24]

To answer this item, we assume that oxygen behaves ideally such that it is able to fulfill the following equation,

PV = nRT

If we are to retain constant the variable n and V.

The percent yield can therefore be solved through the following calculation,

n = (10.5 L)/(22.4 L) x 100%

Simplifying,
n = 46.875%

Answer: 48.87%
