How is the separation of dna like a zipper

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sedbober [7]3 years ago
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.

Urea (CH4N2O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of ammonia (NH3) with carbon dioxide as follows: 2N
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

NH3

Explanation:

2NH3(aq)+CO2(aq)→CH4N2O(aq)+H2O(l)

So for two moles of NH3 we need one mole of CO2. So let's count moles for each reagent.

n(NH3)=m(NH3)/M(NH3)=135700/17,03=7968.29 mol

n(CO2)=m(CO2)/M(CO2)=211400/44.01=4803.45 mol

From equation we have to divide n(NH3) by 2 because we need two equivalent per one CO2. That will be 3984.145. So the limiting agent is NH3 because it's not enough of it to react with all CO2

1. Sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide according to the equation: 2NaOH(s) + CO2(g) →
Leno4ka [110]

The limiting reagent when 5 g of NaOH and 4.4 g CO₂  allowed to react will be NaOH

<h3>What is Limiting reagent ?</h3>

The limiting reactant (or limiting reagent) is the reactant that gets consumed first in a chemical reaction and therefore limits how much product can be formed.

Given chemical equation in balanced form ;

2NaOH(s) + CO₂(g) → Na₂CO₃(s) + H₂O(l).

According to the Chemical equation ;

  • The limiting reagent when 5 g of NaOH and 4.4 g CO₂  allowed to react will be NaOH

    If 44 g CO₂ requires 80 g of NaOH, therefore, 4.4 g CO₂ will require atleast 8 g of NaOH.

    But the available quantity is 5 g NaOH. thus, NaOH is the Limiting reagent.

  • 6.625 g of Na₂CO₃ are expected to be produced 5.0 g of NaOH and 4.4 g of CO₂ are allowed to react

    As 80 g NaOH produces 106 g of Na₂CO₃.

    Therefore 5 g NaoH will produce ;

    106 / 80 x 5 = 6.625 g
