The atoms that undergo changes in their oxidation states among the atoms in the given reaction are to be determined and the atoms that are oxidized or reduced are also to be determined. Concept introduction: Oxidation of carbon occurs when a less electronegative atom than carbon, from a bond with carbon, is replaced by a more electronegative atom. Reduction of carbon occurs when a more electronegative atom than carbon, from a bond with carbon, is replaced by a less electronegative atom. For carbon compound, when number of C-O bond increases or number of C-H decreases the oxidation of carbon is observed. For carbon compound, when number of C-H bond increases or number of C-O bond decreases the reduction of carbon is observed. Decrease in the oxidation number from the reactant side to the product side for an element indicates the reduction process. Increase in the oxidation number from the reactant side to the product side for an element indicates the oxidation process.

Dr. Mendel asked his BIOL 260 class what their height was and what their parent's heights were. He plotted that data in the graph below to determine if height was a heritable trait. A. Is height a heritable trait? If yes, what is the heritability value? (2 pts) B. If the phenotypic variation is 30, what is the variation due to additive alleles?

Experiment: Each team will be provided with 5g of a mixture of acetanilide and salicylic acid. You will divide it into three 1.5 g portions in separate 125 mL Erlenmeyer flasks savıng some for melting point analysis. Dissolve the mixture in each flask in ~60mL of DI water by heating to boiling on a hotplate. Take the flasks off the hotplate once you have a clear solution and let them stand on the bench top for 5 mins and then allow them to cool as described below. Sample A-Let the first sample cool slowly to room temperature by letting it stand on your lab bench, with occasional stirring to promote crystallization. Sample B-Cool the second sample 1n a tap-water bath to 10-15 °C Sample C-Cool the third sample in an ice-bath to 0-2 °C Results: weight after recrystalization and melting point temp. A=0.624g,102-115° B=0.765g, 80-105° C=1.135g, 77-108 What is the percent yield of A,B, and C.
