Answer:

A. inheriting a specific gene

Explanation:

because sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the gene responsible for making hemoglobin that makes blood red and enable the rbcs to carry o2 from lungs to the whole body.

but both mother and father must pass the defective gene to the child to be sick with sickle cell anemia otherwise the child will carry the gene but shows no sign of the anemia.

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a) Speed of the reaction = 0.002083 mol/L.s

b) The rate of disappearance of A₂ during this period of time = 0.002083 mol/L.s

c) The rate of appearance of AB₃ = 0.004167 mol/L.s

Explanation:

English Translation

During a study of the reaction rate

A₂ (g) + 3B₂ (g) → 2 AB₃ (g),

it is observed that in a closed container containing a certain amount of A₂ and 0.75 mol / L of B₂, the concentration B₂ decreases to 0.5 mol / L in 40 seconds.

a) What is the speed of the reaction?

b) What is the rate of disappearance of A₂ during this period of time?

c) What is the rate of appearance of AB₃?

Solution

The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the time rate at which a reactant is used up or the rate at which a product is formed.

It is the rate of change of the concentration of a reactant (rate of decrease of the concentration of the reactant) or a product (rate of increase in the concentration of the product) with time.

Mathematically, for a balanced reaction

aA → bB

Rate = -(1/a)(ΔA/Δt) = (1/b)(ΔB/Δt)

The minus sign attached to the change of the reactant's concentration indicates that the reactant's concentration decreases.

And the coefficients of each reactant and product in the balanced reaction normalize the rate of reaction for each of them

So, for our given reaction,

A₂ (g) + 3B₂ (g) → 2 AB₃ (g)

Rate = -(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (1/2)(ΔAB₃/Δt)

a) Speed of the reaction = Rate of the reaction

But we are given information on the change of concentration of B₂

Change in concentration of B₂ = ΔB₂ = 0.50 - 0.75 = -0.25 mol/L

Change in time = Δt = 40 - 0 = 40 s

(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-0.25/40) = -0.00625 mol/L.s

Rate of the reaction = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-1/3) × (-0.00625) = 0.002083 mol/L.s

b) The rate of disappearance of A₂ during this period of time

Recall

Rate = -(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

-(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

Rate of disappearance of A₂ = -(ΔA₂/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-1/3) × (-0.00625) = 0.002083 mol/L.s

c) The rate of appearance of AB₃

Recall

Rate = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (1/2)(ΔAB₃/Δt)

(1/2)(ΔAB₃/Δt) = -(1/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

(ΔAB₃/Δt) = -(2/3)(ΔB₂/Δt)

rate of appearance of AB₃ = (ΔAB₃/Δt) = -(2/3)(ΔB₂/Δt) = (-2/3) × (-0.00625) = 0.004167 mol/L.s

In solid NaCl, the equilibrium separation between neighboring Na+ and Cl- ions is 0.283 nm. Calculate the coulombic energy betwe

const2013 [10]

Explanation:

It is given that r = 0.283 nm. As 1 nm = $10^{-9} m$ .

Hence, 0.283 nm = $0.283 \times 10^{-9} m$

Formula for coulombic energy is as follows.

$U_{coulomb} = -1.748 \frac{e^{2}}{4 \pi \epsilon_{o} r}$

where, e = $1.6 \times 10^{-19}$ C

$\epsilon_{o}$ = $8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

$U_{coulomb} = -1.748 \frac{(1.6 \times 10^{-19}^{2}}{4 \times 3.14 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 0.283 \times 10^{-9}}$

= $1.423 \times 10^{-18} J$

As 1 eV = $1.6 \times 10^{-19} J$

So, 1 J = $\frac{1 eV}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$

Hence, U = $\frac{1.423 \times 10^{-18} J}{1.6 \times 10^{-19} J}$

= 8.9 eV

Also, 1 J = $\frac{10^{-3} kJ}{6.022 \times 10^{23}mol}$

= $1.67 \times 10^{-27}$ kJ/mol

Therefore, U = $1.423 \times 10^{-18} J \times 1.67 \times 10^{-27}$ kJ/mol

= $2.37 \times 10^{-45} kJ/mol$

A weather balloon is inflated to a volume of 27.9L at a pressure of 732mmHg and a temperature of 30.1?C. The balloon rises in th

masya89 [10]

Answer:

45.4 L

Explanation:

Using Ideal gas equation for same mole of gas as

$\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}$

Given ,

V₁ = 27.9 L

V₂ = ?

P₁ = 732 mmHg

P₂ = 385 mmHg

T₁ = 30.1 ºC

T₂ = -13.6 ºC

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T₁ = (30.1 + 273.15) K = 303.25 K

T₂ = (-13.6 + 273.15) K = 259.55 K

Using above equation as:

$\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}$

$\frac{{732}\times {27.9}}{303.25}=\frac{{385}\times {V_2}}{259.55}$

$\frac{385V_2}{259.55}=\frac{20422.8}{303.25}$

$148225V_2=6729708.26018$

Solving for V₂ , we get:

I belive the answer is gases, liquids, and solids.

Explanation:

The reason I say this is because a vacuum is an empty void of space and time, nothing is there so I believe no sound should be able to penetrate through it.
