Answer:

Complementary base pairing rules

Thymine 23

Guanine 27

Explanation:

Complementary base pairing rules state that adenine always pairs with thymine, and cytosine always pairs with guanine in a double stranded DNA helix This means that in a double stranded DNA molecule, there will be exactly the same amount of thymine as adenine, and exactly the same amount of guanine as cytosine. Therefore, there is 23% of thymine, and 27% of guanine

A sample of ideal gas is in a sealed container. The pressure of the gas is 485 torr , and the temperature is 40 ∘C . If the temp
Fantom [35]

Answer:

537.68 torr.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n and V are constant, and have different values of P and T:

<em>(P₁T₂) = (P₂T₁).</em>

P₁ = 485 torr, T₁ = 40°C + 273 = 313 K,

P₂ = ??? torr, ​T₂ = 74°C + 273 = 347 K.

∴ P₂ = (P₁T₂)/(P₁) = (485 torr)(347 K)/(313 K) = 537.68 torr.

2.Which of the alcohols listed below would you expect to react most rapidly with PBr3?A)CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2OHB)(CH3CH2)2CH(OH)CH2
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

A) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2OH

Explanation:

For this question, we have the following answer options:

A) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2OH

B) (CH3CH2)2CH(OH)CH2CH3

C) (CH3CH2)2CHOHCH3

D) (CH3CH2)3COH

E) (CH3CH2)2C(CH3)OH

We have to remember the<u> reaction mechanism</u> of the substitution reaction with PBr_3. <em>The idea is to generate a better leaving group in order to add a "Br" atom.</em>

The PBr_3 attacks the "OH" generation new a bond to P (O-P bonds are very strong), due to this new bond we will have a better leaving group that can remove the oxygen an allow the attack of the Br atom to generating a new C-Br bond. This is made by an <u>Sn2 reaction</u>. Therefore we will have a faster reaction with <u>primary substrates</u>. In this case, the only primary substrate is molecule A. So, <em>"CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2OH"</em> will react faster.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!
