Analysis: Consider Joe's story. IF the test shows he does have Marfan syndrome, and if he inherited the Marfan gene from his mother, does this mean that his brother and sister also have it? You may want to draw up a Punnett Square or drawing to help you explain your answer. HINT: Is there any suggestion that he got a Marfan gene from his father?

Answers

Answer 1

We inherit genes from our biological parents in specific ways. One way is called autosomal dominant inheritance.

What is autosomal dominant inheritance?

Autosomal dominant inheritance means that the gene in question is located on one of the autosomes. These are numbered pairs of chromosomes, 1 through 22. (These chromosomes do not determine an offspring's gender.) Dominant means that only one gene from one parent is necessary to pass down a trait or a disorder. When a parent has a dominant trait or disorder, there is a 50 percent chance that any child he or she has will also inherit the trait or disorder:

What is Marfan syndrome?

Marfan syndrome occurs in one of 5,000 live births. It is a connective tissue disorder associated with autosomal dominant inheritance. Connective tissue is abundant in the body and is important as a supporting structure. It is especially important for the musculoskeletal system. It also provides support for other body systems as well, including the eyes and the heart. The gene for Marfan syndrome is called fibrillin-1. This gene is localized to chromosome #15 on the long arm (q) at 15q21.1.  

Common findings in individuals with Marfan syndrome include those related to connective tissue disorders. These include abnormal enlargement of the aortic root of the heart, dislocated lenses of the eyes, and a tall, lanky body with increased joint mobility, scoliosis, long flat feet, and long fingers. Findings may vary among individuals diagnosed with this condition, even within a family.

If an individual carries an abnormal gene for Marfan syndrome, that individual has a 50 percent risk of passing down the disorder to each future offspring. If a person does not carry the gene abnormality, then the risk for occurrence of the disorder in future offspring is the same as for the general population.

He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. He finds he has collected 5.8mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of nickel(II) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answers

Answer:

0.0010 w/v %

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

NiCl₂(aq) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → 2AgCl(s) + Ni(NO₃)₂(aq)

Finding the moles of AgCl produced we can find the moles of NiCl in the reaction medium and its mass:

Moles AgCl -Molar mass: 143.32g/mol-:

5.8mg = 5.8x10⁻³g * (1mol / 143.32g) = 4.047x10⁻⁵ moles AgCl

Moles NiCl₂:

4.047x10⁻⁵ moles AgCl * (1mol NiCl₂ / 2mol AgCl) = 2.023x10⁻⁵ moles NiCl₂

Mass NiCl₂ -Molar mass: 129.60g/mol-:

2.023x10⁻⁵ moles NiCl₂ * (129.60g / mol) = 2.62x10⁻³g of NiCl₂ are produced.

And the concentration in w/v% is:

2.62x10⁻³g NiCl₂ / 250mL * 100 =

0.0010 w/v %

Explanation:

A student plans a two-step synthesis of 1-ethyl-3-nitrobenzene from benzene. The first step is nitration of benzene to give nitrobenzene, and the second step is a Friedel-Crafts alkylation using CH3CH2Cl and AlCl3. The plan is flawed because: A : When the alkyl halide interacts with AlCl3, the resulting carbocation can rearrange before it has a chance to react with the aromatic ring. B : Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation. C : The nitro group will direct the incoming alkyl group para position, rather than to the meta position. D : A blocking group is required to achieve this synthesis.

Answers

Answer:

Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Explanation:

The benzene ring in itself does not easily undergo electrophilic substitution reaction. Some groups activate or deactivate the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution reactions.

-NO2 ia a highly deactivating substituent therefore, Friedel-Crafts alkylation of nitrobenzene does not take place under any conditions.

This reaction scheme is therefore flawed because Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

If you began a reaction with the following ions in solution, what would be the net ionic equation?
Na+, PO43–, Fe2+, and NO3–

Answers

Answer:

2 PO₄³⁻(aq) + 3 Fe²⁺(aq) ⇒ Fe₃(PO₄)₂

Explanation:

Let's consider the complete ionic equation between the ions present. It includes all the ions and the insoluble compounds (Fe₃(PO₄)₂ is insoluble).

Na⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) + 3 Fe²⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) ⇒ Fe₃(PO₄)₂ + Na⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction (not spectator ions) and the insoluble compounds.

What is the total number of shared electrons in a
molecule of this substance?
A) 22
B) 11
C) 9
D) 6

Answers

I think A and is the answer

A) 22

In a single bond one pair of electrons is shared, with one electron being contributed from each of the atoms. Double bonds share two pairs of electrons and triple bonds share three pairs of electrons. Bonds sharing more than one pair of electrons are called multiple covalent bonds.

In the given molecule:

There are total 7 single bonds and 2 double bonds.

As we know, In a single bond one pair of electrons is shared and double bonds share two pairs of electrons.

Thus,

Total number of shared electrons in a molecule= 7*2+2*4=14+8=22

So, total number of shared electrons in a molecule is 22.

Therefore, option A) is correct.

One component of smog is nitrogen
monoxide, NO. A car produces about 8 g of
this gas per day. What is the volume at STP?

Answers

Answer:

V = 5.97 L

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the ideal gas law:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

We would need to solve for V as we know the temperature and pressure as the gas it at STP conditions (273 K and 1 atm respectively):

[tex]V=\frac{nRT}{P}[/tex]

Next, we compute the moles in 8 g of NO, given its molar mass of 30.01 g/mol:

[tex]n=\frac{8g}{30.01g/mol}=0.267mol[/tex]

Therefore, we obtain the following volume:

[tex]V=\frac{0.267mol*0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273K}{1atm}\\\\V=5.97 L[/tex]

Use the balanced equation in the image below. How many moles of
ammonia (NH3) will be produced if 2.22 moles of nitrogen (N2) are used?
(Assume there is excess hydrogen gas.) SHOW YOUR WORK TO RECEIVE
CREDIT. *
N2 + 3H2 → 2 NH3

Answers

Since there is excess hydrogen, that means that the concentration of hydrogen is not limiting.

According to the balanced chemical equation:

every mole of N2 and every 3 moles of H2 we obtain 2 moles of NH3. Since we have the amount of N2 and excess of hydrogen, we only need to work with the amount of N2.

1 mol of N2 will produce 2 moles of NH3

so now we can get a conversation tool :

moles of N2 * (2 moles of NH3/ 1 mole of N2) = moles of NH3

(2.22 mol of N2 x 2) ÷ 1 = 4.44 mol of NH3

Hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 in all compounds excepts when it binds with metals and has an oxidation state of -1.​

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In the periodic table, hydrogen is placed in group 1 for convenience. Hydrogen is not a metal, however, its common oxidation state is +1. It easily forms a univalent positive ion just like group 1 elements.

So, when hydrogen is combined with strongly electropositive metals such as sodium, lithium, etc, hydrogen accepts one electron and exhibits an oxidation state of -1 in those compounds.

Such compounds in which hydrogen is combined with strongly electropositive metals to give a binary compound is called a hydride.
