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.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

0.8078 Kg

Explanation:

Pressure of water = 0.15 MPa = 1.5 bar

At critical point of water ,temperature = 647 K=374°C

From the ideal gas equation

P×V= m×R×T

Let us assume volume = 1 m^3

1.5 x 105 x 1 = m x 287 x 647

m= 0.8078 kg

the fraction of mass of liquid at 25°C.

What is the molarity of a solution with 130g of CoCl2 in 1/2 liter? (can you show the steps please)
Elden [556K]

Answer:

2M

Explanation:

M=mol/L

1. Find moles of CoCl2

mass of substance/molar mass = 130/129.833 = 1.001 mol

3. Substitute in molarity equation

M=(1.001/0.5)

M= around 2M

Calculate the volume which 1.00 mole of a gas occupies at 1 atm and 298K?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

25.45 Liters

Explanation:

Using Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT => V = nRT/P

V = (1mole)(0.08206Latm/molK)(298K)/(1atm) = 25.45 Liters
