How can natural selection create two different species from one species?

For speciation to occur, two populations of a species must become reproductively isolated. This can result from either the formation of a geographic barrier between two populations of the species, prevent...

The Haber process is used to produce ammonia. (Insert equation here) Explain the optimum conditions for this reaction and why these may differ from the conditions used in industry.

N2 (g)+3H2 (g) ⇋ 2NH3 (g)  ΔH=-92kJmol-1 (this is the equation for the above question)
According to Le Chatelier's principle, the position of equilibrium w...

Calculate the pH of a 0.0131 mol dm^-3 solution of calcium hydroxide at 10 degrees centigrade.

Multiply by 2 because calcium hydroxide = Ca(OH)2 so 2 x [OH-] per molecule.[OH-] = 0.0131 x 2 = 0.0262
Insert [OH-] value into the equilibrium equation along with the value of Kw at 10 degrees centi...

Explain why adding small amounts of acid or base hardly changes the pH of an acidic buffer solution.

An acidic buffer solution is made up of a weak acid (e.g. ethanoic acid) and a salt containing its conjugate base (e.g. sodium ethanoate). It resists pH change via two mechanisms: The fact that the acid i...

The genetic code is described as degenerate, universal and overlapping. Explain these terms.

The genetic code is universal because all species use the same four bases A,T,C and G, and each base sequence codes for the same amino acid in all species. despite the 64 possible codons (sequence of thre...
