GalinKa [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: Adenine and guanine are the two purines and cytosine, thymine and uracil are the three pyrimidines. The main difference between purines and pyrimidines is that purines contain a sixmembered nitrogencontaining ring fused to an imidazole ring whereas pyrimidines contain only a sixmembered nitrogencontaining ring. They both are types or categories of nitrogen containing bases present in nuclei acids of DNA and RNA.

Purines are 2 Ring or Carbon Ring, Nitrogen containing bases. That consist of these 2 rings next placed next to each other. These examples include - Adenine and Guanine.

Pyrimidines are 1 or single Ring Nitrogen containing structures. There are 3 nitrogenous bases that are categorized as pyrimidines. Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil.

4.How element gold is different from oxygen?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Gold is a metal, more specifically a transition metal, whereas Oxygen is a nonmetal, more specifically a reactive nonmetal. Using this information, you can compare and contrast metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.

Metals are:

Shiny

High melting point

Mostly silver or gray in color

Mostly solids at room temperature – Mercury (Hg) is a liquid at room temperature

Malleable – able to be hammered into a thin sheet

Ductile – able to be drawn/pulled into a wire

Good conductors of heat and electricity

Nonmetals are:

Dull

Low melting point

Brittle – break easily

Not malleable

Not ductile

Poor conductors of heat and electricity

Metalloids are:

Found on the “zig-zag” line on the Periodic Table of Elements

Have properties of both metals and nonmetals

Can be shiny or dull

Semiconductors – able to conduct electricity under certain conditions

How many kg of carbon dioxide are used per year to produce their arm and hammer baking soda?
cestrela7 [59]
The complete question would be as follows:

700,000 tons of baking soda are produced per year. <span>How many kilograms of carbon dioxide are used per year to produce baking soda?

We calculate as follows:

</span><span>CO2(g) + NH3(aq) + NaCl(aq) + H2O -----> NaHCO3(s) + NH4Cl(aq)
</span>
700000 tons NaHCO3 ( 907.185 kg / 1 ton ) (<span>1 kmole NaHCO3 / 84.0 kg NaHCO3) x (1 kmole CO2 / 1 kmole NaHCO3) x (44.0 kg CO2 / 1 kmole) = 3x10^8 kg CO2

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
