All of these are compounds except oxygen because a compound is two or more different elements bonded together.
Answer is d. in hetrogeneous you can separate things from each other
<em>Acetic acid, HC2H3O2</em>
First, calculate for the molar mass of acetic acid as shown below.
M = 1 + 2(12) + 3(1) + 2(16) = 60 g
Then, calculating for the percentages of each element.
<em> Hydrogen:</em>
P1 = ((4)(1)/60)(100%) = <em>6.67%</em>
<em> Carbon:</em>
P2 = ((2)(12)/60)(100%) = <em>40%</em>
<em>Oxygen</em>
P3 =((2)(16) / 60)(100%) = <em>53.33%</em>
<em>Glucose, C6H12O6</em>
The molar mass of glucose is as calculated below,
6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16) = 180
The percentages of the elements are as follow,
<em> Hydrogen:</em>
P1 = (12/180)(100%) = <em>6.67%</em>
<em>Carbon:</em>
P2 = ((6)(12) / 180)(100%) = <em>40%</em>
<em>Oxygen:</em>
P3 = ((6)(16) / 180)(100%) = <em>53.33%</em>
b. Since the empirical formula of the given substances are just the same and can be written as CH2O then, the percentages of each element composing them will just be equal.
In nature there are many more variations amino acids than the simple 20 found in humans. However, when analyzing the human genome sequence, there is a code for all 64 permutations (4^3), only some of them share amino acids. This is a safe-guard against mutations of one or two nucleotides. For example, the amino acid Alanine is coded with four different nucleotide sequences: GCA, GCC, GCG, GCU. Also some amino acids code the same like UUU &UUC
