What is the difference between a purine and a pyrimidine?

Chemistry

GalinKa [24]3 years ago

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.

Explain how you can use boyle's law to determine the new volume of gas when its pressure is increased from 270 kPa to 540 kPa? T
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
There are several information's already given in the question. Based on the information's the answer can be easily deduced. 

We know the formula

<span>P1*V1/T1 = P2*V2/T2
</span>
As the temperature is constant, so T1 and T2 can be negated. The formula changes to 
<span>P1*V1 = P2*V2
</span>70 * 1 = 540 * V2
270/540 = V2
<span>V2 = 0.5
</span>
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the new volume is 0.5 liters. I hope that the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Answer: The molarity of each of the given solutions is:

(a) 1.38 M

(b) 0.94 M

(c) 1.182 M

Explanation:

Molarity is the number of moles of a substance present in liter of a solution.

And, moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass.

(a) Moles of ethanol (molar mass = 46 g/mol) is as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{28.5 g}{46 g/mol}\\= 0.619 mol

Now, molarity of ethanol solution is as follows.

Molarity = \frac{moles}{Volume (in L)}\\= \frac{0.619 mol}{4.50 \times 10^{2} \times 10^{-3}L}\\= 1.38 M

(b) Moles of sucrose (molar mass = 342.3 g/mol) is as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{21.6 g}{342.3 g/mol}\\= 0.063 mol

Now, molarity of sucrose solution is as follows.

Molarity = \frac{moles}{Volume (in L)}\\= \frac{0.063 mol}{0.067 L}  (1 mL = 0.001 L)\\= 0.94 M

(c) Moles of sodium chloride (molar mass = 58.44 g/mol) are as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{6.65 g}{58.44 g/mol}\\= 0.114 mol

Now, molarity of sodium chloride solution is as follows.

Molarity = \frac{moles}{Volume (in L)}\\= \frac{0.114 mol}{0.0962 L}\\= 1.182 M

Thus, we can conclude that the molarity of each of the given solutions is:

(a) 1.38 M

(b) 0.94 M

(c) 1.182 M
