Normal red blood cells slide easily through narrow blood vessels. In sickle cell disease, many red blood cells change to a cresc

ent shape like a slender moon. Crescent-shaped blood cells cause blockages in blood vessels. These blockages decrease the transport of oxygen. People with sickle cell disease often have sharp pains due to the lack of oxygen in parts of the body.
The sickle cell version of the gene that causes sickle cell disease is recessive. Suppose that two parents with no symptoms have a child with sickle cell disease. What genes did the child inherit from the parents?
A. The child must have inherited the sickle cell gene from the mother and the normal gene from the father.
B. The child must have inherited the normal gene from the mother and the sickle cell gene from the father.
C. The child must have inherited sickle cell genes from both parents.
D. The child must have inherited normal genes from both parents.

Answer:

C. The child must have inherited sickle cell genes from both parents.

Explanation:

Because of the fact that sickle cell disease is recessive, the child would have to get the gene from both parents.

After substantial heating, 6.25 g of iron produced 18.00 g of a compound with chlorine. The empirical formula is:
babunello [35]

Answer:

Option A. FeCl3

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of iron (Fe) = 6.25g

Mass of the compound formed = 18g

From the question, we were told that the compound formed contains chlorine. Therefore the mass of chlorine is obtained as follow

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = Mass of compound formed – Mass of iron.

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 18 – 6.25

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g

The compound therefore contains:

Iron (Fe) = 6.25g

Chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g

The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained by doing the following:

Step 1:

Divide by their molar mass

Fe = 6.25/56 = 0.112

Cl = 11.75/35.5 = 0.331

Step 2:

Divide by the smallest

Fe = 0.112/0.112 = 1

Cl = 0.331/0.112 = 3

The empirical formula for the compound is FeCl3

How many moles of argon are contained in 58 L of At at STP?
Harman [31]

Answer:

n = 2.58 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of argon = ?

Volume occupy = 58 L

Temperature = 273.15 K

Pressure = 1 atm

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

1 atm × 58 L = n × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K × 273.15 K

58 atm.L = n × 22.43 atm.L/ mol.

n = 58 atm.L / 22.43 atm.L/ mol

n = 2.58 mol

Interstellar space has an average temperature of about 10 K , and an average density of hydrogen atoms of about one hydrogen ato
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

2.2508\times 10^{19} m meter the mean free path of hydrogen atoms in interstellar space.Explanation:

The mean free path equation is given as:

\lambda =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}\pi d^2 n}

Where"

d = diameter of hydrogen atom in meters

n =  number of molecules per unit volume

We are given: d = 100 pm = 100\times 10^{-12}= 10^{-10} m

n = 1 m^{-3}

\lambda =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}\pi (10^{-10} m)^2\times 1 m^{-3}}

\lambda =2.2508\times 10^{19} m

2.2508\times 10^{19} m meter the mean free path of hydrogen atoms in interstellar space.
