Answer:

thymine is 19%

Explanation:

Acc to Chargaff's rule, amount of Adenine= amount of Thymine as well as amount of Guanine= amount of Cytosine. Amount left for Thymine and Adenine is 38% now. Since both Adenine and Thymine are, again in equal quantities, so therefore percentage of thymine is 19%.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

12.371 g

Explanation:

Given :

$m_{evaporating\ dish}=1.135\ g$

$m_{evaporating\ dish}+m_{Hydrate\ sample}=25.637\ g$

$m_{evaporating\ dish}+m_{First\ heated\ sample}=16.428\ g$

$m_{evaporating\ dish}+m_{Second\ heated\ sample}=13.266\ g$

Mass of salt hydrate:

$m_{evaporating\ dish}=1.135\ g$

$m_{evaporating\ dish}+m_{Hydrate\ sample}=25.637\ g$

$m_{Hydrate\ sample}=25.637-m_{evaporating\ dish}\ g=25.637-1.135\ g=24.502\ g$

Mass of salt anhydrous:

$m_{evaporating\ dish}=1.135\ g$

$m_{evaporating\ dish}+m_{Second\ heated\ sample}=13.266\ g$

$m_{Second\ heated\ sample}=m_{salt\ anhydrous}=13.266-m_{evaporating\ dish}\ g=13.266-1.135\ g=12.131\ g$

Mass of water:

$m_{water}=m_{Hydrate\ sample}-m_{salt\ anhydrous}=24.502-12.131\ g=12.371\ g$

$m_{water}=12.371\ g$
