Question 1 - 24 January - Shift 1

Uracil is base present in RNA with the following structure. $\%$ of $N$ in uracil is _____.

Given :

Molar mass $N=14$ $ g$ $ mol^{-1} ; O=16 $ $g $ $mol^{-1} ; C=$ $12 $ $g$ $ mol^{-1} ; H=1$ $ g $ $mol^{-1}$;

Show Answer

Answer: (25)

Solution:

Formula: Nucleotide Base

Mol. Wt of $C_4 N_2 H_4 O_2=112$

$\% N=\frac{28}{112} \times 100=25 \%$
