The base that will NOT combine with 2-deoxyribose to form a nucleic acid is _____.

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Uracil

Explanation:

The base that will NOT combine with 2-deoxyribose to form a nucleic acid is Uracil.

2-deoxyribose is a pentose sugar found in the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). It is devoid of oxygen in its 2' position. The bases found in DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. Adenine, Guanine, and Cytosine are also found in RNA (Ribonucleic acid). Thymine is not present in RNA, it is only found in DNA. The base found in RNA is Uracil which in turn is not present in DNA. The five carbon sugar present in RNA is ribose which combines with Uracil.

7. NH2CO2NH4(s) when heated to 450 K undergoes the following reaction to produce a system which reaches equilibrium: NH2CO2NH4(s

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Value of equilibrium constant is 0.0888

Explanation:

Both $NH_{3}$ and $CO_{2}$ are gaseous. Hence equilibrium constant depends upon partial pressures of $NH_{3}$ and $CO_{2}$ .

Initially no $NH_{3}$ and $CO_{2}$ were present.

Hence mole fraction of $NH_{3}$ and $CO_{2}$ at equilibrium can be calculated from coefficient of $NH_{3}$ and $CO_{2}$ in balanced equation.

Mole fraction of $NH_{3}$ = (number of moles of $NH_{3}$ )/(total number of moles of $NH_{3}$ and $CO_{2}$ ) = $\frac{2moles}{(2+1)moles}=\frac{2}{3}$

Mole fraction of $CO_{2}$ = (number of moles of $CO_{2}$ )/(total number of moles of $NH_{3}$ and $CO_{2}$ ) = $\frac{1moles}{(2+1)moles}=\frac{1}{3}$

Let's assume both $CO_{2}$ and $NH_{3}$ behaves ideally.

Therefore partial pressure of $NH_{3}$ , $P_{NH_{3}}= x_{NH_{3}}.P_{total}$ and P_{CO_{2}}= x_{CO_{2}}.P_{total}

Where x represents mole fraction

So, $P_{NH_{3}}=\frac{2}{3}\times 0.843atm=0.562atm$

$P_{CO_{2}}=\frac{1}{3}\times 0.843atm=0.281atm$

So, $K_{p}=P_{NH_{3}}^{2}.P_{CO_{2}}=(0.562)^{2}\times 0.281=0.0888$

Uranium – 235 has a half-life of 713 million years. Would uranium – 235 or carbon – 14 be more useful for dating Cambrian time e

kenny6666 [7]

Uranium-235 would be more useful for dating in Cambrian time because Cambrian time was 540 million years ago while the half life of carbon-14 is only 5,730 years
Hope this helps
