Answer:
a. 58.5 g/mol
b. 0.1 mol
Explanation:
a.
The molar mass of Na is 23.0 g/mol. The molar mass of Cl is 35.5 g/mol. The molar mass of NaCl is:
M(Na) + M(Cl) = 23.0 g/mol + 35.5 g/mol = 58.5 g/mol
b. A healthy adult should eat no more than 6 g of salt in one day. The moles corresponding to 6 g of NaCl are:
6 g × (1 mol/58.5 g) = 0.1 mol
The rules of base pairing (or nucleotide pairing) are: A with T: the purine adenine (A) always pairs with the pyrimidine thymine (T) C with G: the pyrimidine cytosine (C) always pairs with the purine guanine (G)
The nucleotides in a base pair are complementary which means their shape allows them to bond together with hydrogen bonds. The A-T pair forms two hydrogen bonds. The C-G pair forms three. The hydrogen bonding between complementary bases holds the two strands of DNA together.
Answer:
Atoms of each element contain a characteristic number of protons and electrons. The number of protons determines an element's atomic number and is used to distinguish one element from another.
Answer:
Explanation:
To calculate their average atomic masses which is otherwise known as the relative atomic mass, we simply multiply the given abundances of the atoms and the given atomic masses.
The abundace is the proportion or percentage or fraction by which each of the isotopes of an element occurs in nature.
This can be expressed below:
RAM = Σmₙαₙ
where mₙ is the mass of isotope n
αₙ is the abundance of isotope n
for this problem:
RAM of Li = m₆α₆ + m₇α₇
m₆ is mass of isotope Li-6
α₆ is the abundance of isotope Li-6
m₇ is mass of isotope Li-7
α₇ is the abundance of isotope Li-7
