Describe how nucleic acid basis pair up

castortr0y [4]

The rules of base pairing (or nucleotide pairing) are: A with T: the purine adenine (A) always pairs with the pyrimidine thymine (T) C with G: the pyrimidine cytosine (C) always pairs with the purine guanine (G)

The nucleotides in a base pair are complementary which means their shape allows them to bond together with hydrogen bonds. The A-T pair forms two hydrogen bonds. The C-G pair forms three. The hydrogen bonding between complementary bases holds the two strands of DNA together.

Rutherford, geiger, and marsden’s experiment demonstrated that the volume of the nucleus is roughly what fraction of the volume

trasher [3.6K]

Rutherford, Geiger and Marsden's experiment proved that every atom has a nucleus and that this nucleus is of positive charge and contains the most of the mass of the atom. 0.005% of the volume occupied by the electrons is the volume of the nucleus.

Calculate the molality of a solution that contains 51.2 g of naphthalene, C10H8, in 500 mL of carbon tetrachloride. The density

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer: The molality of naphthalene solution is 0.499 m

Explanation:

Density is defined as the ratio of mass and volume of a substance.

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$ ......(1)

Given values:

Volume of carbon tetrachloride = 500 mL

Density of carbon tetrachloride = 1.60 g/mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Mass of carbon tetrachloride}=(1.60g/mL\times 500mL)=800g$

Molality is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per kilogram of solvent. The units of molarity are mol/kg. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{\text{Given mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent (in g)}}$ .....(2)

Given values:

Given mass of naphthalene = 51.2 g

Molar mass of naphthalene = 128.17 g/mol

Mass of solvent = 800 g

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\text{Molality of naphthalene}=\frac{51.2\times 1000}{128.17\times 800}\\\\\text{Molality of naphthalene}=0.499m$

Hence, the molality of naphthalene solution is 0.499 m
