What is the difference between a purine and a pyrimidine?

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

one side of a cube measures 0.53 cm. the mass of the cube is 0.92 g. what is the density of the cube
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

6.17 g/cm³

Explanation:

Data given:

one side of cube = 0.53 cm

mass of the cube is 0.92 g

density of the cube = ?

Solution:

First we will calculate for volume the cube

As we know all the sides or edges of a cube are equal so volume equation will be

So,

    V = length x width x height

    V = e³

as on side = 0.53 cm

then

     V = (0.53 cm)³

     V = 0.149 cm³

Now we will calculate density of cube

To calculate density, formula will be used

             d = m/v . . . . . (1)

where

d = density

m = mass

v = volume

put values in above formula 1

                   d = 0.92 g / 0.149 cm³

                   d = 6.17 g/cm³

so. the density of cube = 6.17 g/cm³

How many atoms of carbon are represented in 3CH3CH2O?<br><br> 2<br><br> 4<br><br> 6<br><br> 8
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: 6



Explanation:


1) The structure shown is:


3CH₃CH₂O


2) The molecule is CH₃CH₂O. The chemical formula is CH₃CH₂O. The subscripts indicate the number of atoms of the corresponding atom in each molecule.


Then, there are 1 + 1 = 2 atoms of C, 3+ 2 = 5 atoms of H, and 1 atom of O.


3) The number in front of the molecule is the coefficient. It is 3, and it tells the number of molecules.


So, there are 3 molecules, which means that you have 3 times a many atoms as calculated previously.


That is 3×2 = 6 atoms of C, 3 × 5 = 15 atoms of H, and 3 × 1 = 3 atoms of O.


Then, the number of atoms of carbon (C) in 3 molecules is 6
