Answer:

false

Explanation:

false, only a small percentage of mutations cause genetic disorders—most have no impact on health or development. For example, some mutations alter a gene's DNA sequence but do not change the function of the protein made by the gene.

Which statements are true?

schepotkina [342]

Explanation:

Evaporation is defined as a process in which liquid state of water is changing into vapor state.

So, we need to break the bonds of liquid substance in order to convert it into vapor state. And, energy is absorbed for breaking of bonds which means that evaporation is an endothermic process.

Hence, the statement evaporation of water is an exothermic process is false.

When a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and water then this type of reaction is known as combustion reaction.

A combustion reaction will always release heat energy. Hence, combustion reaction is exothermic in nature.

When energy is transferred as heat from the surroundings to the system then it means energy is being absorbed by the system. And, absorption of heat is an endothermic process for which $\Delta H$ is positive.

Whereas when energy is transferred from system to the surrounding then it means energy is released by the system which is an exothermic process.

Hence, for an exothermic process value of $\Delta H$ is negative.

Thus, we can conclude that statements which are true are as follows.

A combustion reaction is exothermic.

When energy is transferred as heat from the system to the surroundings, $\Delta H$ is negative.

For an endothermic reaction Deta H is positive.

When 20.0 g of KI are dissolved in 50.0 mL of distilled water in a calorimeter, the temperature drops from 24.0 °C to 19.0 °C. C

Reil [10]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h2>Explanations</h2>

The formula for calculating the amount of heat absorbed by the water is given as:

$\begin{gathered} q=mc\triangle t \\ q=50\times4.18\frac{J}{g^oC}\times(19-24) \\ q=50\times4.18\times(-5) \\ q=-1045Joules \\ q=-1.045kJ \end{gathered}$

Determine the moles of KI

$\begin{gathered} moles\text{ of KI}=\frac{mass\text{ of KI}}{molar\text{ mass of KI}} \\ moles\text{ of KI}=\frac{20g}{166g\text{/mol}} \\ moles\text{ of KI}=0.1205moles \end{gathered}$

Since heat is lost, hence the enthalpy change of the solution will be negative that is:

$\begin{gathered} \triangle H=-q \\ \triangle H=-(-1.045kJ) \\ \triangle H=1.045kJ \end{gathered}$

Determine the enthalpy of solution in kJ•mol-1

$\begin{gathered} \triangle H_{diss}=\frac{1.045kJ}{0.1205mole} \\ \triangle H_{diss}\approx8.67kJmol^{-1} \end{gathered}$

Hence the enthalpy of solution in kJ•mol-1 for KI is 8.67kJ/mol

The temperature of a sample of liquid water changes from 50°C to 30°C. Which statement best explains the change

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The molecules move more slowly and their average kinetic energy decreases

Explanation:

The increased temperature meant that the atoms in liquid had a greater average energy of motion so as the temperature decreases the reaction would be inverse.
