Answer: Nitrogenous bases guanine(G), adenine(A), cytosine(C) and thymine(T) forms the rungs of the ladder in twisted ladder structure of DNA.

Explanation:

Rungs of the ladder are normally horizontal small logs placed one after the other with small gaps between them on the two vertically standing logs of the ladder.

Since, DNA resembles the twisted ladder structure the rungs of the ladder structure of DNA are the organic nitrogenous basic molecules which are associated to their respective base with the help of hydrogen bonding.

In DNA, there are four bases guanine(G), adenine(A), cytosine(C) and thymine(T). These bases through hydrogen bonding are associated with there respective bases :adenine is bonded to thymine and guanine is bonded cytosine.

(A=T): Two hydrogen bonds between the bases

(C≡G): Three hydrogen bonds between the bases.

A sample of oxygen gas has a volume of 5.60 l at 27°c and 800.0 torr. how many oxygen molecules does it contain?
ratelena [41]
<span>1.44x10^23 molecules of oxygen gas The ideal gas law is PV = nRT where P = pressure (800.0 Torr) V = volume (5.60 L) n = number of moles R = Ideal gas constant (62.363577 L*Torr/(K*mol) ) T = absolute temperature (27C + 273.15 = 300.15 K) Let's solve for n, the substitute the known values and solve. PV = nRT PV/RT = n (800.0 Torr*5.60 L)/(62.363577 L*Torr/(K*mol)*300.15 K) = n (4480 L*Torr)/(18718.42764 L*Torr/mol) = n 0.239336342 mol = n So we have 0.239336342 moles of oxygen molecules. To get the number of atoms, we need to multiply by avogadro's number, so: 0.239336342 * 6.0221409x10^23 = 1.44x10^23</span>

How would you find the volume of a regular object and irregular object?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

You can find the volume of an irregular object by immersing it in water in a beaker or other container with volume markings, and by seeing how much the level goes up. Or by multiplying all the sides of the container. #markasbrainliest

1. EXPLAIN the steps required to find the molar mass of NH3 . Also,
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: Molar mass of NH_3 is 17.03 g

Explanation:

Molar mass is defined as the mass in grams of 1 mole of a substance.

S.I Unit of Molar mass is gram per mole and it is represented as g/mol.

It is found by adding the atomic masses of all the elements present.

Atomic Mass of Nitrogen (N) = 14.007 g

Atomic Mass of Hydrogen (H) = 1.008 g

Molar mass of NH_3 = 1(14.007)+3(1.008) g = 17.03 g

If an ideal gas at a constant temperature is initially at a pressure of 3.8 atm and is then allowed to expand to a volume of 5.6
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The most common example is the molar volume of a gas at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), which is equal to 22.4 L for 1 mole of any ideal gas at a temperature equal to 273.15 K and a pressure equal to 1.00 atm.If an ideal gas at a constant temperature is initially at a pressure of 3.8 atm and is then allowed to expand to a volume of 5.6 L and a pressure of 2.1 - 18914… ... of 5.6 L and a pressure of 2.1 atm, what is the initial volume of the gas? ... An ideal gas is at a pressure of 1.4 atm and has a volume of 3 L.

Explanation:

I hope I help :)
