Analysis of a molecule of DNA showed that cytosine accounted for 42 per cent of the
content of the nitrogenous bases. Calculate the percentage of bases in the molecule
which would be thymine. Show your working.

Answers

Answer 1

8%

Explanation:

In a DNA molecule the no. of Adenine bases equal to that of Thymine bases

The no. of Cytosine bases equal to that of Guamine bases.

If we take no. of Thymine bases as x and no. of Cytosine bases as y,

Adenine + Thymine + Cytosine + Guamine = 100

x + x + y+y = 100

2( x+y) = 100

x+y = 50

y=42

therefore x= 50-42 = 8%

The half-life of Palladium-100 is 4 days. After 16 days a sample of Palladium-100 has been reduced to a mass of 6 mg. What was the initial mass (in mg) of the sample

Answers

Answer:

96mg

Explanation:

Since the half-life of Palladium-100 is 4 days and the sample has been reduced after 16 days, that means the sample has undergone four half-lives. To find the intial mass, just work backwards:

6 x 2= 1212 x 2= 2424 x 2= 48 48 x 2= 96

As you see, I've worked backwards from the four half-lives. So the initial mass after 16 days is 96 mg.

What is required for two atoms to share electrons equally in a chemical bend?

Answers

Answer: Nonpolar Covalent Bond

Explanation: A Nonpolar Covalent Bond is created when atoms share their electrons equally. This usually occurs when two atoms have similar or the same electron affinity. The closer the values of their electron affinity, the stronger the attraction. This occurs in gas molecules; also known as diatomic elements.

Will tin reduce iron?

Answers

Answer: The iron equilibrium is the more positive, and so will go in the forward direction. The tin equilibrium is less positive (more negative), and will be driven backwards. So the tin(II) ions will reduce iron(III) ions to iron(II) ions. In the process, of course, the tin(II) ions will be oxidised to tin(IV) ions.

g. What is crystallization?Name any two go mixtures that can be separated by this method:name any two mixtures that can be separated by ​

Answers

crystallization is a process which helps to separate a pure solid from a solution in its crystal form. This is the in use to purify solid. For an example the salt we get from seawater can have many impurities in it. Hence, the process of crystallization is in use to remove these impurities.

Sugar and salt are examples of products where crystallization does not only serve as separation/purification technique, but where it is also responsible for getting crystals with the right size (and shape) for further application of the products.

- BRAINLIEST answerer

Answer:

Crystallization is the process by which a solid forms, where the atoms or molecules are highly organized into a structure known as a crystal. Some of the ways by which crystals form are precipitating from a solution, freezing, or more rarely deposition directly from a gas.

Sugar and salt are two mixtures that can be seperated by crystallization

Which statement describes the motion of the ice particles in the ice/water bath between minutes 5 and 20?

Choose the correct answer.

Particle motion stays the same because temperature does not change.

Particle motion stays the same because the ice is not completely melted yet.

Particle motion increases because thermal energy is being transferred to the ice.

Particle motion decreases because thermal energy is being transferred away from the ice.

Answers

Explanation:

The ice cube which was solid has turned into the liquid water because the air temperature is warmer than the freezers. Which means the ice particles gather heat energy from the warmer air. Therefore the ice particles have enough energy to break apart (melt)into smaller particle arrangements.

A sample of gas has a volume of 3.50 L and a pressure of
125 mm Hg. What will the new pressure be when the volume
is decreased to 2.75 L? The temperature stays the same.

Answers

Answer:

159.09 mmHg

Explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

[tex]P_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2} \\[/tex]

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

From the question we have

[tex]P_2 = \frac{125\times3.50 }{2.75} = \frac{437.5}{2.75} \\ = 159.090909...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

159.09 mmHg

what is the best way to study and understand electron configuration??

Answers

Answer:

You have to remember this memory aid, diagonals and all.

You have to keep a tight tally of the electrons you’ve used so far so you don’t go over the number of electrons in the element you’re working on.

You have to remember how many electrons fit into each subshell (s, p, d, f).

It takes a lot of time, especially when the element has more than 20 electrons.

Vanadium crystallizes in a body-centered cubic lattice, and the length of the edge of a unit cell is 305 pm. What is the density of V

Answers

Answer:

5.96 g/cm^3

Explanation:

Corner atom = 1/8

Atoms in center = 1

Atoms in face of the cube= 1/2  

Molar mass of V = 50.94 g/mol (from period table)

1 mole = 6.02x10^23

In BCC unit cell:

(8 x 1/8)+ 1=2 per 1 unit cell

Mass: 2(50.94g)/6.02x10^23 = 1.69x10^-22 g/unit cell

305pm=(305x10^-12m÷10^-2m) x (1mL÷1cm^3)

           = 2.837 x 10^-23 mL

1pm=10^-12m

1cm=10^-2m

1mL=1cm^3

density=mass/volume

density of V = 1.69x10^-22g÷2.837x10^-23mL

                    =5.957g/mL

                    =5.96g/cm^3
