Mercury poisoning is a debilitating disease that is often fatal. In the human body, mercury reacts with essential enzymes leading to irreversible inactivity of these enzymes. If the amount of mercury in a polluted lake is 0.4 Hg/mL, what is the total mass in kilograms of mercury in the lake

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The total mass of mercury in the lake is 631,542.7 kg

Explanation:

Question: The given dimensions of the lake as obtained from a similar question posted online are;

The surface area of the lake, A = 100 mi²

The lake's average depth, d = 20 ft.

The concentration of the mercury, C = 0.4 μg Hg/mL = 0.4 × 10⁻⁶ kg Hg/L

Therefore, we have;

The volume of water mixture in the lake, V = A × d

∴ V = 100 mi² × 20 ft. = 2,787,840,000 ft.² × 20 ft. = 55,756,800,000 ft.³

1 ft³ = 28.31685 L

∴ 55,756,800,000 ft.³ = 55,756,800,000 ft.³ × 28.31685 L/ft.³ = 1.57885675 × 10¹² L

The total mass of mercury in the lake, m = C × V

∴ m = 0.4 × 10⁻⁶ kg Hg/L × 1.57885675 × 10¹² L = 631,542.7 kg

The total mass of mercury in the lake, m = 631,542.7 kg.

At first, I was just interested in space, universe and black holes stuff, but then as I started learning more, I realised how amazing other branches of science are too. They are so systematic. What encourages me to learn more are the gaps in science, its mysteries, I wish to uncover them one day, and for that I am preparing myself. When I am in a science class, I try to imagine where can I apply this knowledge in my day to day life, and my teachers are fascinated when I ask them if this principle is responsible for this phenomena.

A 45g Aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.88J/g degree Celcius) at 24 degrees Celcius placed in 180ml(180g) of coffee at 85 degrees Celcius and the temperature of the two become equal. What is the final temperature?

Answers

Answer:

82 °C

Explanation:

Let the specific heat capacity of the coffee be that of water which is 4.2 J/g °C.

Now, at the final temperature, heat gained by Aluminum spoon ,Q equals heat lost by coffee, Q'.

Q = -Q'

Q = m₁c₁(T₂ - T₁) where m₁ = mass of aluminum spoon = 45 g, c₁ = specific heat of aluminum = 0.88 J/g °C, T₁ = initial temperature of aluminum spoon = 24 °C and T₂ = final temperature of aluminum spoon.

Q' = m₂c₂(T₂ - T₃) where m₂ = mass of coffee = 180 g, c₂ = specific heat of coffee = 4.2 J/g °C, T₃ = initial temperature of coffee = 85 °C and T₂ = final temperature of coffee.

So, Q = -Q'

m₁c₁(T₂ - T₁) = -m₂c₂(T₂ - T₃)

Making T₂ subject of the formula, we have

m₁c₁T₂ - m₁c₁T₁ = -m₂c₂T₂ + m₂c₂T₃

m₁c₁T₂ + m₂c₂T₂ =  m₂c₂T₃ + m₁c₁T₁

(m₁c₁ + m₂c₂)T₂ =  m₂c₂T₃ + m₁c₁T₁

T₂ =  (m₂c₂T₃ + m₁c₁T₁)/(m₁c₁ + m₂c₂)

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

T₂ =  (180 g × 4.2 J/g °C × 85 °C + 45 g × 0.88 J/g °C × 24 °C )/(45 g × 0.88 J/g °C  + 180 g × 4.2 J/g °C)

T₂ =  (64260 J + 950.4 J)/(39.6 J/°C  + 756 J/°C)

T₂ =  65210.4 J/795.6 J/°C

T₂ =  81.96 °C

T₂ ≅  82 °C

El genotipo es el conjunto de información genética en un organismo, y se encuentra codificado en el ADN en su secuencia de bases. Dicha información se expresa mediante síntesis de proteínas.

1.  Los genes son unidades de herencia​ pues almacenan la información genética. El conjunto de genes de una especie se denomina genoma. Cada gen ocupa en el cromosoma una determinada posición, denominada locus. Para cada locus hay dos tipos o formas de genes, llamados alelos. Los mismos pueden ser iguales (siendo el organismo homocigota para ese locus) o distintos (heterocigota). Entonces, la respuesta es "b: Verdadero"

2. Los alelos dominantes, se representan con letras mayúsculas mientras que los alelos recesivos se representan con letras minúsculas. Ejemplo, el alelo que codifica para el color de ojos marrones puede ser dominante (se puede representar con la letra A, por ejemplo), mientras que el alelo que codifica para ojos verdes puede ser recesivo (a). Un individuo cuyo genotipo es Aa, tendrá ojos marrones ya que el alelo dominante enmascara los efectos del alelo recesivo. Un individuo AA también tendrá ojos marrones pues es el único alelo presente. Sin embargo, un individuo aa tendrá ojos verdes ya que tiene ambos alelos recesivos que se expresan. Entonces, la respuesta es "a: Falso"

3. Un cuadro de Punnett es un diagrama utilizado para determinar la probabilidad de obtener descendencia con un determinado fenotipo (características visibles) y genotipo (conjunto de genes). Permite utilizar genotipos maternos y paternos con sus alelos dominantes y recesivos , para cruzarlos y realizar el análisis. Entonces, la respuesta es "b: Verdadero"

4. Mendel realizó un experimento para estudiar los genes de la planta de guisantes. Cruzó una plantas de dos variedades distintas (gigantes y enanas), espolvoreando el polen de una sobre el pistilo de otra. Observó que en la primera generación de descendencia, habían todas plantas gigantes y no de tamaño "intermedio" Luego de esto, entendió que había una característica dominante para el tamaño gigante de una planta, y una recesivo para el tamaño enano. Pero previamente a todo esto, no conocía la dominancia ni el genotipo de los progenitores. Entonces, la respuesta es "a: Falso"

5. Una mutación es una alteración azarosa o por acción de un mutágeno en el ADN, ya sea en su secuencia de bases o en su organización. Esto hace que se produzca una variación en las características del organismo, que puede o no transmitirse a una descendencia. Una mutación genética hereditaria ocurre en las gametas femeninas (óvulo) y/o masculinas (espermatozoide). Cuando ocurre la fertilización, se crea un cigoto que dará lugar a un nuevo organismo que portará la mutación. Entonces, la respuesta es "b: Verdadero"

1. Cruce entre Aa x Aa

siendo A: verde, a: rojo

Cada genotipo, en este caso ambos Aa, representa los genes de un organismo. Sin embargo, en el cuadro de Punnett, se utilizan las gametas producidas por los mismos organismos. Cada gameta solo posee un alelo de cada gen, ya que son haploides. Entonces los organismos con genotipo Aa, pueden producir gametas A o a. (Ver archivo adjunto)

Como se puede ver en el cuadro, hay un 25% de probabilidades de obtener descendencia con genotipo AA (verde), 25% para aa (rojo) y 50% para Aa (verde). Lo mismo se puede expresar como 2:1:1 (de un total de 4, 2 son Aa, 1 es AA y 1 es aa). Recordando que el alelo A es dominante sobre a, la frecuencia fenotípica será de 75% verde y 25% rojo, lo que se puede expresar como 3:1 (de un total de 4, 3 son verdes y 1 es rojo).

Para concluir, recordemos que los genes codifican para las características visibles (fenotipo), y el conjunto de genes forma el genotipo. Para cada gen, hay dos alelos que ocupan un determinado locus o posición en el cromosoma y los mismos pueden ser dominantes o recesivos. Para estudiar esto, se pueden utilizar cuadros de Punnett en donde se cruzan organismos maternos y paternos, conociendo sus genes para así determinar el posible genotipo y fenotipo de la descendencia que puedan tener. Aunque hay que considerar que puede ocurrir una mutación en sus gametas, que se herede y afecte los genes y las características visibles.
