What is the acronym for DNA??
victus00 [196]
The acronym 'DNA' stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.   

DNA is used to 'code' the genetic makeup of all living organisms, and is found inside the nucleus of the cell(Eukaryotes) or just floating in the cytoplasm of the cell(Prokaryotes).  DNA is made up of 4 different pairs of base molecules(nucleotides) that are slightly different from another.  The similar molecule structure RNA(ribonucleic acid) differs from DNA in that RNA nucleotides are just slightly different from the nucleotides of DNA.  This difference is that RNA nucleotides have a hydroxide group(OH) where the DNA nucleotides just have a hydrogen atom.  
Because the DNA nucleotide doesn't have the hydroxide group it has one less oxygen than RNA nucleotides do.  This is where DNA derives the prefix "deoxy-," meaning "without oxygen."  
The prefix "ribo-" is given to molecules with a certain configuration of a set of 3 consecutive but not necessarily contiguous CHOH(asymmetric) groups.
The combined form "nucleo-" is used to imply something that has to do with the nucleus, such as the nucleus of a cell where DNA is stored in Eukaryotes.  
And finally, the ending of the acronym: "acid." DNA is an acid because the 4 nucleotides each contain a phosphate group, which are acidic.

And thus, we get our answer: deoxyribonucleic acid, and the meaning:
deoxy-ribo-nucleic acid
(without oxygen) + (has 3 CHOH groups) + (in/of the nucleus) + (acidic)
Thus, DNA is a molecule is basically an acidic molecule residing in the nucleus with 3 CHOH groups and is missing oxygen atoms.

I know this isn't really what you're looking for, but honestly I had a great time doing a little research into the name!

Hope this explains it a little! c;

What mass of carbon dioxide gas occupies a volume of 81.3L at 204 kPa and a temperature of 95.0°C?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

236.9g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of gas  = 81.3L

Pressure of gas = 204kPa

temperature of gas = 95°C

Unknown:

Mass of carbondioxide gas = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, the ideal gas law will be well suited. The ideal gas law is a fusion of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Avogadro's law.

Mathematically, it is expressed as;

                    PV = nRT

the unknown here is n which is the number of moles;

P is the pressure, V is the volume, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

convert pressure into atm

               101.325KPa  = 1atm

             204 kPa = \frac{204}{101.325}   = 2atm

Convert temperature to Kelvin;   95 + 273  = 368K

       2 x 81.3 = n x 0.082 x 368

             n = \frac{2 x 81.3}{0.082 x 368}   = 5.38moles

Since the unknown is mass;

 Mass  = number of moles x molar mass

      Molar mass of carbon dioxide  = 12 + 2(16)  = 44g/mol

 Mass  = 5.38 x 44  = 236.9g

The density of water at 4 degrees Celsius is 1.000 g/mg is it chemical or physical property?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Physical Property

Explanation:

Density, mass, volume, color, melting and boiling points, etc. are all physical properties. No matter what changes, the chemical makeup stays the same.

Flamability, acidity, toxicity, etc. are chemical properties, because they chemically change the makeup of the object/thing.
