andrew11 [14]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Hydrogen bonds form between them.

Explanation:

The two strands of DNA bond through the hydrogen bridges between the nitrogenous bases. Adenine forms 2 hydrogen bridges with thymine, while cytosine and guanine form 3 hydrogen bridges. Since hydrogen bonds depend on strict standards of hydrogen bond donors and receptors, and because these structures must be in the right places, hydrogen bonding requires complementary chains of adenine and thymine, and cytosine and guanine.

What is the wavelength of gamma ray electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 2.73x10^20 Hz?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

1.10 × 10⁻¹² m

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

Speed of Light = Wavelength times Frequency

  • c = λν
  • c = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

ν  = 2.73 × 10²⁰ Hz

<u>Step 2: Find wavelength</u>

3.0 × 10⁸ m/s = λ(2.73 × 10²⁰ Hz)

λ = 1.0989 × 10⁻¹² m

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules.</em>

1.0989 × 10⁻¹² m ≈ 1.10 × 10⁻¹² m

What is the mass of 3.0 x 10^23 atoms of neon
kari74 [83]
Molar mass neon = <span>20.1797 g/mol

20.1797 g ---------- 6.02x10</span>²³ atoms
         ? g ------------ 3.0 x 10²³ atoms

mass = 3.0 x 10²³ *  <span>20.1797 / 6.02 x 10</span>²³

mass = 6.054x10²⁴ / 6.02 x 10²³

mass = 10.05 g

hope this helps!

a solution is made by dissolving cadmium fluoride (CdF2 Ksp =6.44×10 −3 ) in 100.0 mL of water until excess solid is present. So
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Answers are in the explanation

Explanation:

Ksp of CdF₂ is:

CdF₂(s) ⇄ Cd²⁺(aq) + 2F⁻(aq)

Ksp = 6.44x10⁻³ = [Cd²⁺] [F⁻]²

When an excess of solid is present, the solution is saturated, the molarity of Cd²⁺ is X and F⁻ 2X:

6.44x10⁻³ = [X] [2X]²

6.44x10⁻³ = 4X³

X = 0.1172M

<h3>[F⁻] = 0.2344M</h3><h3 />

Ksp of LiF is:

LiF(s) ⇄ Li⁺(aq) + F⁻(aq)

Ksp = 1.84x10⁻³ = [Li⁺] [F⁻]

When an excess of solid is present, the solution is saturated, the molarity of Li⁺ and F⁻ is XX:

1.84x10⁻³ = [X] [X]

1.84x10⁻³ = X²

X = 0.0429

<h3>[F⁻] = 0.0429M</h3><h3 /><h3>The solution of CdF₂ has the higher fluoride ion concentration</h3>
