What is the difference between a purine and a pyrimidine?

1 answer:

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.

What example of mixture could be seperated using two or more techniques? Explain your answer

STatiana [176]

You can take two liquids of different densities (how much mass is in a given volume) and pour them into a funnel. An example is oil and water. When the mixture settles, the denser liquid will be at the bottom, and drips through the funnel first. This is a separation that you can just let occur naturally.

The total volume of seawater is 1.5 x 1021L .Assume that seawater contains 3.1 percent sodium chloride by mass and that its dens

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Mass in kg = 4.7*10^19 kg

Mass in tons = 5.2*10^16 tons

Explanation:

Given:

Total volume of sea water = 1.5*10^21 L

Mass % NaCl in seawater = 3.1%

Density of seawater = 1.03 g/ml

To determine:

Total mass of NaCl in kg and in tons

Calculation:

Unit conversion:

1 L = 1000 ml

The volume of seawater in ml is:

$=\frac{1.5*10^{21}L*1000ml }{1L} =1.5*10^{24} ml$

$Mass\ seawater = Density*volume = 1.03g/ml*1.5*10^{24} ml=1.5*10^{24}g$

$Mass\ NaCl\ in\ seawater = \frac{3.1}{100}*1.5*10^{24} g=4.7*10^{22} g$

To convert mass from g to Kg:

1000 g = 1 kg

$Mass\ seawater(kg) = \frac{4.7*10^{22}g*1kg }{1000g} =4.7*10^{19} kg$

To convert mass from g to tons:

1 ton = 9.072*10^6 g

$Mass\ seawater(tons) = \frac{4.7*10^{22}g*1ton }{9.072*10^{6}g } =5.2*10^{16} tons$

Which is a property that Mendeleev predicted for gallium (Ga)?

kompoz [17]

The correct option is B.
Mendeleev was the one who originated the idea of arranging elements in the periodic table according to their chemical and physical properties. He left spaces in the periodic table and predicted the discovery of those elements that had not been discovered then. One of these elements is Gallium. He predicted that gallium is going to be a metal and he gave the properties that the element will possess. He also predicted that the element gallium will be placed under aluminium in the periodic table.
