Answer:44.01% of the spheres are copper

Explanation:

mass Cu + mass Pb = 4.35kg =  4.35 x 1000 = 4350g

But

Volume= mass / density

Let the volume of copper be C  

density of  Cu = 8.94 g/cm^3

Mass of copper = 8.94C

Let the volume of Lead be L  

density of  lead = 11.34g/cm^3

Mass of lead  = 11.34L

Since  

mass Cu + mass Pb = 4350kg

therefore

8.94C + 11.34L = 4350g----- EQN A

also

volume of copper + volume of lead =  423 cm^3

Volume of Lead ,L=423-C

putting the value of C = 423-L in Equation A becomes

8.94C + 11.34L = 4350g

8.94C + 11.34(423-C)= 4350g

8.94C+ 4796.82-11.34C=4350

4796.82-4350=11.34C- 8.94

446.82=2.4C

C= 186.175

Volume of copper = 186.175cm^3

Percentage copper = volume copper / total volume metal x 100/1

= 186.175 cm^3 / 423 cm^3 x 100/1

= 44.01%

The correct answer would be the fourth option. A nucleotide consists of a phosphate group, a pentose sugar, and a nitrogen containing base that are all linked together by covalent bonds. Nucleotides are the monomer units of nucleic acids and is the basic unit of the DNA.

Classify each of the following particulate level illustrations as a representation of either a pure substance, a homogeneous mix
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The classification and illustrations are attached in the drawing.

Explanation:

It is possible to identify the pure substance observing the figure, since it is the only one that has 2 joined atoms (purple and blue) which forms a single compound.

On the other hand, the homogeneous mixture is identified by noting that its atoms are more united with respect to the heterogeneous mixture, highlighting that in homogenous mixtures the atoms, elements or substances are not visible to the naked eye and are in a single phase, instead in the heterogeneous mixture if they can be differentiated.
