How many aluminum atoms are there in a 15.1 gram soda can?

MariettaO [177]2 years ago
6 0
A soda can is made from aluminum metal. To determine how many atoms of this element is present in a certain mass of the can, we need to convert the mass into units of moles by using the atomic mass of aluminum which is 26.98 g per mol. Then, we use the Avogadro's number. It represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles or vice versa.

moles Al = 15.1 g Al ( 1 mol / 26.98 g ) = 0.56 mol Al
atoms Al = 0.56 mol Al ( 6.022x10^23 atoms / 1 mol ) = 3.32x10^23 atoms

OPTION A would be the closest.

Earth’s axis is tilted to one side. Which phenomenon would cease to exist in the absence of this axial tilt?
Snowcat [4.5K]
The earth's tilt of 23.5 degrees to it's axis as it revolves around the sun causes seasons; summer, spring, winter and autumn. This is due to the orientation of the earth with respect to the sun that cause variations in how to sun rays 'strike' the earth. Consequently, there are variations in temperatures across the earth, over its complete revolution, causing seasons my brotha, Hope this helps!

Which characteristic of the genetic code lowers the likelihood of mutation?
Rudik [331]
Degeneracy

Degeneracy simply means that most of the amino acids produced during protein synthesis from DNA is coded by more than one codon. A codon is a sequence of 3 <span>nucleotides that codes for a specific amino acid.

Because more than 1 codon can produce the same amino acid, the chances of having the synthesis of proteins affected by mutations (i.e. point mutations) is decreased. For example, if the codon with the nucleotide series GAA, which codes for the amino acid glutamate, becomes the codon GAG, the codon will still produce glutamate because the code is degenerate. </span>

How might an individual's own cells lead to false verdicts of guilt.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Through a circumstance known as "secondary transfer DNA", or "Touch DNA".

Explanation:

Most times when a crime is committed, DNA samples are obtained from surfaces in the scene where the crime was committed. There is a very huge possibility of picking up the DNA of someone who was never at the scene of the crime and this is a result of a condition known as Touch DNA.

Because we touch several objects which can be moved to different locations and touch people who are also always mobile, our DNA cells can find their ways to a crime scene where we had never physically been to. This can lead to false verdicts of guilt.
