A Rottweiler dog is born with a long tail and when it is a few days old its tail is cut to be shorter. Several years later, the dog has eight puppies. Based on this information, how many puppies would you expect to have short tails like their mother's? A. 4 B. 8 C. 0 D. 2

I think it's A or D

Explanation:

apologies if I get this wrong..

c.0

Explanation: hopefully this isn’t wrong, but wouldn’t it be 0 since it was something the mother did later on so it really wasn’t a trait of her? And also the mother didn’t born with a short tail?

n2(g) + 3h2-> 2nh3(g)   this is the balanced equation

note the mole ratio between n2, h2 and nh3.   it is 1 : 3 : 2   this will be important.

moles n2 present = 28.0 g n2 x 1 mole n2/28 g = 1 mole n2 present

moles h2 present = 25.0 g h2 x 1 mole h2/2 g = 12.5 moles h2 present

based on mole ratio, n2 is limiting in this situation because there is more than enough h2 but not enough n2.

moles nh3 that can be produced = 1 mole n2 x 2 moles nh3/mole n2 = 2 moles nh3 can be produced

grams of nh3 that can be produced = 2 moles nh3 x 17 g/mole = 34 grams of nh3 can be produced

note:   the key to this problem is recognizing that n2 is limiting, and therefore limits how much nh3 can be produced.
