Chemistry
1 answer:
avanturin [10]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are the elementary form of the sugar and most basic units of  the carbohydrates. These sugars cannot be further hydrolyzed to form the simpler chemical compounds. The general formula is C_nH_{2n}O_n. Example: Glucose and fructose.

Disaccharide is sugar which is formed when the two monosaccharides are joined by the glycosidic linkage. Disaccharides are soluble in the water. Examples: sucrose and lactose.

Oligosaccharide is the saccharide polymer which contains small number of the monosaccharides. They can have many functions like the cell recognition and the cell binding. Example: glycolipids which have role in immune response.

Polysaccharides are the polymeric carbohydrate molecules which are composed of the long chains of the monosaccharide units that are bound together by the glycosidic linkages which on the hydrolysis give constituent monosaccharides or th eoligosaccharides. Example: Starch.

Glycoconjugates is general classification for the carbohydrates which are covalently linked with the other chemical species such as peptides, proteins, saccharides and lipids.  Example: Blood proteins

Please help this is so hard 1: Why is the sky blue?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

1. As white light passes through our atmosphere, tiny air molecules cause it to 'scatter'. Therefore, blue light is scattered more than red light and the sky appears blue during the day.

2. We can see the moon during the day for the same reason we see the moon at night. The surface of the moon is reflecting the sun's light into our eyes. When we see the moon during the day it's because the moon is in the right spot in the sky and it's reflecting enough light to be as bright, or brighter, than the sky.

3. At eight pounds per gallon, that's another 38,593,169,564 pounds of water in the air. Add it all up, and the total weight of our sky is 12,107,415,382,493,169,564 pounds, more than 12 quintillion pounds!

4. 5.972 × 10^24 kg

5. Four forces keep an airplane in the sky. They are lift, weight, thrust and drag. Lift pushes the airplane up.

6. Water is wet, in the sense of being a liquid which flows easily, because its viscosity is low, which is because its molecules are rather loosely joined together.

7. Rainbows are formed when sunlight is scattered from raindrops into the eyes of an observer. The lower the sun in the sky the more of an arc of a rainbow the viewer will see. Rain, fog or some other source of water droplets must be in front of the viewer.

8. Birds can sit on power lines and not get electric shocks because the electricity is always looking for a way to get to the ground. The birds are not touching the ground or anything in contact with the ground, so the electricity will stay in the power line.

As in relative abundance , one is take reference
So,
One is taken as 1:
Other is subtracted from it:
(1 - 0.6011)(atomic mass of Ga-71) 

Equation can be written as:
<span>69.723 = (0.6011)(68.9256) + (1-0.6011)x </span>
<span>(1-0.6011) is the percentage abundance of Ga-71 expressed in percentage: </span>

<span>Solving for x </span>
<span>28.2918 = 0.3989 x </span>
