Maurinko [17]3 years ago
5 0
Nucleic acids are hydrocarbons that also contain nitrogen, phosphorus and oxygen elements. 
Hydrocarbons are long chains of carbon that have additional bonds exclusively with hydrogen atoms. They are hydrophobic, or not soluble in water. Nucleic acids are macromolecules that are made of units called nucleotides, they are mainly in two forms; the RNA and and the DNA. Both the RNA and DNA have a pentose sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogen containing base.

What is the volume occupied by 48.0 g of ouzo, which has a density of 0.940 g/mL?45.1 mL51.1 mL37.0 mL24.5 mL
satela [25.4K]

Density:

The density of a substance is equal to the ratio of its mass and volume. In general we can say the density of a substance is mass per unit volume.

Density = mass in g / volume in cubic cm or ml

Given that  

Density = 0.940 g/ ml

Mass = 48.0 g

Therefore,  

Volume = mass/ density  

= 48.0 g/  0.940 g/ ml

= 51 ml  

Thus the correct answer is 51 ml

While the Bohr model fails to show the true shape of the electron orbitals with in an atom, it is still used because it ?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Is used to predict the spectra of hydrogen and hydrogen like species

Explanation:

The Bohr's model of the atom was propounded by Neis Bohr. In his theory, an atom is composed of quantized energy levels in which electrons may be found.

The transition of an electron between energy levels leads to the absorption or emission of energy in the form of a photon of visible light. The energy absorbed or emitted depends on the energy difference between the two energy levels.

The model is successful at predicting the electronic spectra of one electron species but totally fails when the specie has more than one electron. Also, the model fails to show the true shape of the electron orbitals within an atom.

What is the price coke difference between a strong and weak acid?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

Strong acids are those that are completely ionized in body fluids, and weak acids are those that are incompletely ionized in body fluids. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is considered a strong acid because it is present only in a completely ionized form in the body, whereas carbonic acid (H2 CO3) is a weak acid because it is ionized incompletely, and, at equilibrium, all three reactants are present in body fluids. See the reactions below.

H2 CO3 (acid)↔H+ + HCO3- (base)

K for enolization of 2,4-cyclohexadienone is about 1013. Explain why the enol is so much more stable than the keto tautomer.
torisob [31]

Answer:

Because the value of K is huge.

Explanation:

The tautomer is a kind of isomer in which exist an equilibrium between a ketone and an enol, or between an aldehyde and an enol. So, in the enolization, the ketone is the reactant and the enol is the product.

The equilibrium reaction can be characterized by an equilibrium constant, which is the ratio of the concentration of the products by the concentration of the reactants.

Because the constant K is extremely large (10¹³) we can conclude that the concentration of the product will be greater than the concentration of the reactant, in the equilibrium. It means that the concentration of the enol will be greater.

So, the ketone is unstable and forms in a great amount the more stable product, the enol.
