In order to determine the rate of photosynthesis (the conversion by plants of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen),

the oxygen gas emitted by an aquatic plant is collected over water at a temperature of 293 K and a total pressure of 754.8 mmHg. Over a specific time-period, a total of 1.31 L of gas is collected. The partial pressure of water at 293 K is 17.55 mmHg. What mass of oxygen gas (in grams) forms

Answer:

1.6896 grams

Explanation:

Given that:

Total pressure = The pressure of  O_2 + partial pressure of H_2O

∴

The pressure of  O_2  = Total pressure - partial pressure of H_2O

= (754.8 - 17.55) mmHg

= 737.25 mmHg

At standard conditions:

1 mmHg = 0.00131579 atm

∴

737.25 mmHg will be: (737.25*0.00131579) atm = 0.970065928 atm

P ≅ 0.97 atm

The temperature  (T) = 293 K

Volume (V) = 1.31 L

Using ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

0.97 × 1.31 = n × 0.0821 × 293

n = \dfrac{0.97 \times 1.31}{0.0821 \times 293}

n = 0.0528

mass of oxygen  O_2 = no. of moles * molar mass

= 0.0528 * 32

= 1.6896 grams

What does the process of gene duplication and divergence refer to? (select all that apply)?
Debora [2.8K]

It refers to making or crating new genes in form of mutation in duplicates of old genes. It is also a mechanism in major way through new genetic material is generated during evolution. The duplication happens in event termed unequal crossing over or recombination between misaligned homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

The older crust in this case would be at point D, the newest at point A.
umka2103 [35]

Explanation:

New ocean crust is formed at the mid ocean ridges. The new crust is then pushed away from the ridge as newer crust comes to the surface. The ocean crust then spreads out enlarging the ocean. The farer away from the ridge the ocean crust is the older the crust
