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.

For a particular redox reaction, Cr is oxidized to CrO 2 − 4 and Ag + is reduced to Ag . Complete and balance the equation for t
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

6Ag⁺ + Cr + 8OH⁻ → 6Ag + CrO₄²⁻ + 4H₂O

Explanation:

We can balance the redox reaction of Cr and Ag⁺, in terms of two half-reactions, one for Ag⁺ and other for Cr:

Ag⁺   →   Ag      

In the above equation we need to balance the number of electrons, we know that the Ag⁺ is being reduced to Ag, so the reaction is:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ →  Ag   (1)

Now, we need to balance the half-reaction of Cr:

Cr   →  CrO₄²⁻  

From above, we know that the Cr is being oxidated to CrO₄²⁻, so we need to balance the number of electrons and the number of oxygen atoms. The Cr⁰ is being oxidated to Cr⁶⁺, so for the electron balance, we need to add 6e⁻ to the right side of the equation. Since the reaction is in a basic medium, the oxygen atoms will be balanced with OH⁻ ions as follows:          

Cr + OH⁻ →  CrO₄²⁻ + 6e⁻  

The hydrogen atoms will be balanced using H₂O molecules:  

Cr + OH⁻ →  CrO₄²⁻ + 6e⁻ + H₂O    

The balanced equation is:

Cr + 8OH⁻ →  CrO₄²⁻ + 6e⁻ + 4H₂O   (2)

Since the reaction (1) involves 1 electron and the reaction (2) involves 6 electrons, by increasing the reaction (1) six times and by the addition of the two reactions (1 and 2) we can have the net redox reaction:

6*(Ag⁺ + e⁻ →  Ag)  

<u>Cr + 8OH⁻ →  CrO₄²⁻ + 6e⁻ + 4H₂O</u>

6Ag⁺ + Cr + 8OH⁻ → 6Ag + CrO₄²⁻ + 4H₂O                  

Therefore, the net equation is: 6Ag⁺ + Cr + 8OH⁻ → 6Ag + CrO₄²⁻ + 4H₂O.

I hope it helps you!

Is bioluminescence an endothermic process bioluminescence an endothermic process or exothermic process?\?
vichka [17]
Bioluminescence is a chemical reaction that takes place in a living organism when the organism emits light. Bioluminescence doesn't consume or produce heat, hence it can be neither endothermic nor exothermic reaction. It emits a heatless light not heat.
For bioluminescence, it could be said that it is an exoenergetic reaction because it uses energy from a chemical reaction to produce light.

Burning a compound of calcium, carbon, and nitrogen in oxygen in a combustion train generates calcium oxide , carbon dioxide , n
mylen [45]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Burning a compound of calcium, carbon, and nitrogen in oxygen in a combustion train generates calcium oxide (CaO), carbon dioxide (CO_2), nitrogen dioxide (NO_2), and no other substances. A small sample gives 2.389 g CaO, 1.876 g CO_2, and 3.921 g NO_2 Determine the empirical formula of the compound.

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical formula for the given compound is CaCN_2

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having calcium, carbon and nitrogen follows:

Ca_xC_yN_z+O_2\rightarrow CaO+CO_2+NO_2

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of calcium, carbon and nitrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CaO = 2.389 g

Mass of CO_2=1.876g

Mass of NO_2=3.921g

We know that:

Molar mass of calcium oxide = 56 g/mol

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

<u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 1.876 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 1.876=0.5116g of carbon will be contained.

<u>For calculating the mass of nitrogen:</u>

In 46 g of nitrogen dioxide, 14 g of nitrogen is contained.

So, in 3.921 g of nitrogen dioxide, \frac{14}{46}\times 3.921=1.193g of nitrogen will be contained.

<u>For calculating the mass of calcium:</u>

In 56 g of calcium oxide, 40 g of calcium is contained.

So, in 2.389 g of calcium oxide, \frac{40}{56}\times 2.389=1.706g of calcium will be contained.

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Calcium =\frac{\text{Given mass of Calcium}}{\text{Molar mass of Calcium}}=\frac{1.706g}{40g/mole}=0.0426moles

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.5116g}{12g/mole}=0.0426moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Nitrogen}}=\frac{1.193g}{14g/mole}=0.0852moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0426 moles.

For Calcium = \frac{0.0426}{0.0426}=1

For Carbon = \frac{0.0426}{0.0426}=1

For Nitrogen = \frac{0.0852}{0.0426}=2

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Ca : C : N = 1 : 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is CaCN_2

When a lead acid car battery is recharged by the alternator, it acts essentially as an electrolytic cell in which solid lead(II)
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

3.81 g Pb

Explanation:

When a lead acid car battery is recharged, the following half-reactions take place:

Cathode: PbSO₄(s) + H⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻ → Pb(s) + HSO₄⁻(aq)  

Anode: PbSO₄(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → PbO₂(s) + HSO₄⁻(aq) + 3H⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻

We can establish the following relations:

  • 1 A = 1 c/s
  • 1 mole of Pb(s) is deposited when 2 moles of e⁻ circulate.
  • The molar mass of Pb is 207.2 g/mol
  • 1 mol of e⁻ has a charge of 96468 c (Faraday's constant)

Suppose a current of 96.0A is fed into a car battery for 37.0 seconds. The mass of lead deposited is:

37.0s.\frac{96.0c}{s} .\frac{1mole^{-} }{96468c} .\frac{1molPb}{2mole^{-} } .\frac{207.2gPb}{1molPb} =3.81gPb
