How many different nitrogenous bases are found in nucleic acids?
There is a set of 5 nitrogenous bases used in the construction of nucleic acids.
Are acids and bases are conductors of electricity they are referred to as what?
Not necessarily. Acid is just used for very important research and experiments. And bases are used for bases. Sorry if I'm not helpful. :(
What is function of volumetric cylinder?
Volumetric cylinders are used in chemical laboratories to measure a specific amount of solutions, acids, bases...
What is the pH of antarcids?
Antacids are used to neutralize acids, and are therefore bases, so their pH values must lie between 7 and 14 on the pH scale.
The 20 different polysaccharides used to make proteins differ in what is attached in their R group position?
'Polysaccarides' (in this question) should actually be 'amino acids'. Proteins are polymeric amino acids (20 different possibillities)
1 you expect the hydroxides of metal ions to be soluble in acids What term is used when they are soluble in bases as well?
Amphoteric
What is the significance of acid and bases in your industry?
Acids and bases are chemical substances that release ions when dissolved in water. Acids are compounds that release positive hydrogen ions in water. Bases release hydroxide ions, which are compounds made of an oxygen and a hydrogen. Acids and bases are used around the house for cleaning, but the levels of acids and bases in the body are also important. The body needs a neutral pH and controls the amounts of acids and bases through processes involving the kidneys, lungs and blood. Acids and bases are found in foods, the environment and in chemicals including pharmaceuticals. The pH levels in the blood are required to stay neutral, which is at a level of 7. When a dieter eats acidic foods, the body uses a buffering system to neutralize the positive ions released from the acids. Conversely, bases are also controlled to keep the body from becoming too alkaline.
Compare the properties of acids with the properties of bases?
Acids are used in many fields of industry and in homes.The sulfuric acid is used to make many products,paper,paints,etc. Like acids,bases have many uses.Sodium hydroxide is a base used to make soap and paper.
What happens in a solution where an acid or base is dissolve?
Acids form hydrogen ions (H+) that combine with water to form the hydronium ion (H3O+) and bases form hydroxide ions (OH-). To be exact: a hydrogen ion is an atom of hydrogen that has lost its electron. An acid is any substance that forms hydrogen ions in water. the hydroxide ion is polyatomic, made of oxygenand hydrogen. A base is any substance that forms hydroxide ions in water. The component ions of strong acids and bases completely dissociate.
What kinds of ions are produced when an acid is dissolved in water then a base is dissolved in water?
When a base (or alkali, if you are english, like myself) is dissolved in water, hydroxide ions (OH-) are formed, this is what gives a base (or alkali) its reactive (and possibly corrosive) properties.
What is used for pickling. Acids or bases?
Acids eg vinegar
Is the term alkaline used as a synonym for bases or acids?
bases
Where do acids and bases have uses?
Acids and Bases are used in basically everything. All cleaners are usually bases or weak acids, that help remove stains, by reacting with the substance. Some weak acids and bases are used in foods, for example vinegar is a base and citric acid (From lemons etc). is obviously an acid. Please respond if this did not fully help you understand acids and bases uses.
What is used to indentifiy bases and acids?
Acid base indicators are used to identify acids and bases. Among the common indicators are;PhenolphthaleinMethyl redMethyl orangeBromothymol blue
How many different nitrogenous bases are found in nucleic acids?
There is a set of 5 nitrogenous bases used in the construction of nucleic acids.
Can acids and bases be used to make fertilizer?
Both
System used to measure the strength of acids and bases?
Numbers are used. Numbers 1-6 are acids, number 7 is neutral, and numbers 8-14 are bases.
