Answer:

Histone proteins.

Explanation:

Histones are known as the special type of proteins which are +ve charged and low molecular in weight. They are highly basic proteins and containing basic amino acids such as arginine and lysine. Histones are +ve charged proteins and DNA is -ve charged in nature, due to the presence of phosphate groups in DNA backbone, histones bind with DNA very tightly and form a complex known as Nucleosome.

The Nucleosome is known as the fundamental unit of DNA packaging which is composed of an Octameric core of histone proteins (two each of histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) around which the double helix of DNA is wrapped.

Which of the following is the best name for a compound made from nitrogen and oxygen? (N2O3) nitrogen oxide nitrogen II oxide ni

sergejj [24]

The best name for the compound is DINITROGEN TRIOXIDE.

Each chemical compound is always represented by a chemical symbol, which shows the ratio at which each atom of the elements of the compound are combine together and this is often used in naming the compound. Looking at the compound given in the question, the compound is made up of two atoms of nitrogen and three atoms of oxygen and this fact was used in naming the compound. In naming chemical compounds, 'Di' stands for 2 while 'Tri' stands for 3. Since there are two nitrogen and three oxygen atoms in the compound, that was why it was named dinitrogen trioxide.

mezya [45]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

A chemist prepares a solution of barium chloride by measuring out 110 g of barium chloride into a 440 ml volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. Calculate the concentration in mole per liter of the chemist's barium chloride solution. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Answer: Concentration of the chemist's barium chloride solution is 1.20 mol/L

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n\times }{V_s}$

where,

n = moles of solute

$V_s$ = volume of solution in L

moles of $BaCl_2$ (solute) = $\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar Mass}}=\frac{110g}{208g/mol}=0.529mol$

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

$Molality=\frac{0.529\times 1000}{440ml}=1.20mole/L$

Therefore, the molarity of solution is 1.20 mol/L

A 0.98 gram sample of a volatile liquid was heated to 348 k. the gas occupied 265 ml of space at a pressure of 0.95 atm. what is

arlik [135]

Answer:

The molecular weight is $Z = 111.2 \ g/mol$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the sample is $m = 0.98 \ g$

The temperature is $T = 348 K$

The volume which the gas occupied is $V = 265 \ ml = 265 *10^{-3} L$

The pressure is $P = 0.95 \ atm$

Generally from the ideal gas equation we have that

$PV = n RT$

Here n is the number of moles of the gas while the R is the gas constant with value $R = 0.0821 \ atm \cdot L \cdot mol^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}$

$n = \frac{PV}{ RT}$

=> $n = \frac{ 0.95 * 265 *10^{-3} }{ 0.0821 * 348}$

=> $n = 0.00881 \ mol$

Generally the molecular weight is mathematically represented as

$Z = \frac{m}{n}$

=> $Z = \frac{0.98 }{0.00881}$

=> $Z = 111.2 \ g/mol$

A force of 12.5 N is appiled to 10 kg mass

lina2011 [118]

To find the acceleration, use the formula: force= mass x acceleration. 12.5 N = 10 x Acceleration Acceleration = 12.5 / 10 Acceleration = 1.25 Hope this helps :)
