Answer:
Hi
Sodium Hydroxide is a strong base, it dissolves easily in water producing a large amount of calories and completely dissolving in its ions, to give hydroxide ions, as seen in the reaction:
NaOH(ac) ⇒ Na+(ac) + OH-(ac)
In the presence of ambient humidity, sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide to generate sodium carbonate. The gradual hydration generates six different hydrates: NaOH.H2O, NaOH.2H2O, NaOH.3.5H2O, NaOH.4H2O, NaOH.5H2O, NaOH.7H2O. Its great affinity for water causes a reduction in water vapor pressure and for that reason it is a very good drying agent.

Answer:
We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the <u>phosphate</u> group attached to the 5' carbon atom of the sugar portion of a nucleotide and the <u>hydroxyl</u> group attached to the <u>3'</u> carbon atom
Explanation:
Nucleic acids are polymers formed by a phosphate group, a sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA) and a nitrogenous base. In the chain, the phosphate groups are linked to the 5'-carbon and 3'-carbon of the ribose (or deoxyribose) and the nitrogenous base is linked to the 2-carbon. Based on this structure, the nucleic acid chain orientation is identified as the 5'-end (the free phosphate group linked to 5'-carbon of the sugar) and the 3'-end (the free hydroxyl group in the sugar in 3' position).
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
The lightest particle among the following is:
• Electron •Proton • Neutron • Alpha
Answer:
Electron
Explanation:
There three basic subatomic particles are electrons, protons and neutrons. Both protons and neutrons are found in the nuclear and both contribute towards the mass of the atom. The alpha particle has the same mass as the helium nucleus.
However, the electrons are found in orbiit and have a negligible mass compared to the mass of the protons and neutrons. The mass of the electron is about 9.11 × 10^-31 Kg. This makes it the lightest of all the particles listed among the options.
Answer:
Explanation:
There are some radioactive nuclides can be used to measure time on an archeological scale. One is the best example of this is radiocarbon dating. This process is based on the ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant.
The half time of C-14 5730 years
Carbon-14 is a radioactive nucleus. It has a half-life of 5730 years.
All living tissues like plants and animal absorbed carbon-12 along with carbon-14 with same ratio of caebon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere.
Carbon-14 dating is based on the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere which is relatively constant
