A population of mice, some with light-colored fur and some with dark-colored fur are introduced into a field with dark soil. A few generations later, the majority of the mice have dark-colored fur. Which of the following best explains this change? *

Light-colored mice can run faster.
Dark-colored mice have fewer offspring.
Light-colored mice have changed color over generations.
Dark-colored mice are better able to hide from their predators.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Dark-colored mice are better able to hide from predators.

Explanation:

If all of the light mice are eaten, then there are none left to pass on the light-furred gene, meaning that there would be no offspring without dark fur.

Answer 2

The correct option for the given question about Evolution is Option D) "Dark coloured mice are better able to hide from their predators".

What is the Theory of Darwin?

"Survival of the fittest" is explained in the Darwin theory.

It is identical to natural selection. You are regarded as one of the "fittest" if you possess the greatest features or are "fit" enough to live and adapt to your surroundings. However, the ability to reproduce is just as important as simply surviving. You are successful if you can survive and reproduce.

Thus we can conclude that Dark coloured mice are better able to hide from their predators and hence they also satisfies the theory of Darwin "The survival of the fittest" hence this is the reason why after few generation the majority of the mice have dark coloured fur.

if 13 moles of Fe react, what is the mass of FeS produced?​

Answers

Answer:

1144 g of FeS

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Fe + S —> FeS

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Fe reacted to produce 1 mole of FeS.

Therefore, 13 moles of Fe will also react to produce 13 moles of FeS.

Finally, we shall determine mass of 13 moles of FeS. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of FeS = 13 moles

Molar mass of FeS = 56 + 32

= 88 g/mol

Mass of FeS =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of FeS = 13 × 88

Mass of FeS = 1144 g

Therefore, 1144 g of FeS were obtained from the reaction.

Living organisms need energy to carry on their life processes. Photosynthesis is a process that allows for photosynthesizing organisms, such as algae and green plants, to produce their own materials for energy production and survival. This process can be outlined as a simplified chemical equation containing reactants (goes into the process) and products (made/comes out of the process).Using your knowledge of science and figures above, select the choice that accurately expresses photosynthesis.

A mixture of helium, nitrogen and oxygen has a total pressure of 781 mmHg. The partial pressure of helium is 331 mmHg, and the partial pressure of nitrogen is 222 mmHg. What is the partial pressure (in mmHg) of oxygen in the mixture?

Answers

Answer:

Partial pressure of O₂ =  228 mmHg

Explanation:

The mixture is made of three gases, He, N₂ and O₂.

Total pressure of it, is 781 mmHg.

There is a law from gases, that indicates the sum of partial pressures of each gas in a mixture will be the total pressure of the system. In conclussion:

Partial pressure of He + Partial pressure of N₂ + Partial pressure of O₂ = Total pressure.

331 mmHg + 222 mmHg + Partial pressure of O₂ = 781 mmHg.

Partial pressure of O₂ = 781 mmHg - 331 mmHg - 222 mmHg

Partial pressure of O₂ =  228 mmHg

An alpha particle is composed of He2+ ions?
true or false​

Answers

Answer: The given statement is False.

Explanation:

Alpha particle is a helium nuclei.

Alpha particles are produced when a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei in radioactive decay. Alpha particles have mass number and atomic number as 4 and 2 respectively.

General representation of alpha decay :

[tex]^A_Z\textrm{X}\rightarrow ^{A-4}_{Z-2}\textrm{Y}+^4_2\textrm{He}[/tex]

Thus the given statement that alpha particle is composed of [tex]He^{2+}[/tex] ions is False.

The statement of [tex]\rm He^2^+[/tex] ions has formed the alpha particles is true.

Alpha particles are particles that have been similar to the He-4, with the presence of two protons and two neutrons. The alpha particles have the absence of electrons and have been formed during the alpha decay.

[tex]\rm He^2^+[/tex] has been the ion of He with the positive charge indicating the loss of 2 electrons. Thus, in [tex]\rm He^2^+[/tex], there has been 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and 0 electrons.

The atomic configuration of [tex]\rm He^2^+[/tex]has been similar to the alpha particles. Thus, the statement stating, "the alpha particles to be composed of [tex]\rm He^2^+[/tex]ions " is True.

"pure water does not conduct electricity. But some tap water probably can. Which best explains this?" a . Tap water is H20 b . Pure water is H20 c . Some tap water has minerals, such as iron in it.

Answers

Explanation:

"pure water does not conduct electricity. But some tap water probably can."

The reason why pure water does not conduct electricity is due to the absence of mineral and metal containing salts. Pure water is made up of only Hydrogen and oxygen atom as represented by the formula; H2O

Tap water on the other hand are most likely able to conduct electricity due to the presence of these ions. They may arise from impurities or during treatment processes.

The correct options are;

b . Pure water is H2O

c . Some tap water has minerals, such as iron in it.

Calculate the concentration of a 220 g solution of calcium chloride (CaCl2) that has a volume of 11 L

Answers

Answer: The concentration of the solution is 0.18 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

[tex]Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}[/tex]

where,

n = moles of solute

[tex]V_s[/tex] = volume of solution in L

moles of [tex]CaCl_2[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{220g}{111g/mol}=1.98mol[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

[tex]Molarity=\frac{1.98mol}{11L}=0.18M[/tex]

Therefore, the concentration of the solution is 0.18 M

12.0 g NaHSO4 (MM: 120.1 g/mol) is dissolved in water to make a 2.00 L solution. What is the molarity of the resulting NaHSO4 solution?

Answers

Answer:

0.05 M

Explanation:

First we convert 12 g of NaHSO₄ into moles, using the given molar mass:

12 g NaHSO₄ ÷ 120.1 g/mol = 0.10 mol NaHSO₄

We can now calculate the molarity of the resulting solution, using the calculated number of moles and the given volume:

Molarity = moles / litersMolarity = 0.10 mol / 2.00 L = 0.05 M

Answer:

The molarity of the resulting NaHSO₄ solution is 0.05 [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex]

Explanation:

Molarity or Molar Concentration is the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a certain volume.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of the solute by the volume of the solution:

[tex]Molarity=\frac{moles of solute}{volume}[/tex]

Molarity is expressed in units [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex].

Molar mass is the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole. Being the molar mass of the compound NaHSO₄ equal to 120.1 g/mole, then the number of moles that 12 grams contain is calculated by:

[tex]12 g*\frac{1 mole}{120.1 g} = 0.1 moles[/tex]

And being 2 L the volume of the solution, then replacing in the definition of molarity you get:

[tex]Molarity=\frac{0.1 moles}{2 L}[/tex]

Molarity= 0.05 [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex]

The molarity of the resulting NaHSO₄ solution is 0.05 [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex]

True or False: Ionic bonding means atoms COMPLETELY GIVE AWAY OR TAKE their electrons from each other. *

Answers

Answer: The given statement is True.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

Thus the given statement is True.
