How is the separation of dna like a zipper

1 answer:

3 0

The two strands must be separated like the two sides of a zipper, by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A double helix structure formed by two polypeptide chains is separated like the two sides of a zipper. A zipper is formed by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases. During replication, an enzyme "Helicase" travels down the DNA and splits the chain and it forms 2 separate strands.

The two DNA strand which has the same sequence must be separated like the two sides of a zipper by breaking weak hydrogen bases. During base pair-rule, the strand are unzipped and each strands is copied.

A 13 g sample of P4010 contains how many

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{5.5 \times 10^{22}\text{ molecules of P$_{2}$O}_{5}}$

Explanation:

You must calculate the moles of P₄O₁₀, convert to moles of P₂O₅, then convert to molecules of P₂O₅.

1. Moles of P₄O₁₀

$\text{Moles of P$_{4}$O}_{10} = \text{13 g P$_{4}$O}_{10} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol P$_{4}$O}_{10}}{\text{283.89 g P$_{4}$O}_{10}} = \text{0.0458 mol P$_{4}$O}_{10}$

2. Moles of P₂O₅

P₄O₁₀ ⟶ 2P₂O₅

The molar ratio is 2 mol P₂O₅:1 mol P₄O₁₀

$\text{Moles of P$_{2}$O}_{5} = \text{0.0458 mol P$_{4}$O}_{10} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol P$_{2}$O}_{5}}{\text{1 mol P$_{4}$O}_{10}} = \text{0.0916 mol P$_{2}$O}_{5}$

3. Molecules of P₂O₅

$\text{No. of molecules} = \text{0.0916 mol P$_{2}$O}_{5} \times \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules P$_{2}$O}_{5}}{\text{1 mol P$_{2}$O}_{5}}\\\\= \mathbf{5.5 \times 10^{22}}\textbf{ molecules P$_{2}$O}_{5}\\\text{There are $\large \boxed{\mathbf{5.5 \times 10^{22}}\textbf{ molecules of P$_{2}$O}_{5}}$}$

What happens when you put magnesium carbonate and diluted water

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Magnesium carbonate doesn't dissolve in water, only acid, where it will effervesce (bubble).

Explanation:

An insoluble metal carbonate reacts with a dilute acid to form a soluble salt. Magnesium carbonate, a white solid, and dilute sulfuric acid react to produce magnesium sulfate. Colourless magnesium sulfate heptahydrate crystals are obtained from this solution.
