Why are hydrogen bonds so essential to the structure of dna?

1 answer:

4 0

Hydrogen bonds hold the paired nitrogenous bases together. Because hydrogen bonds are weak bonds, the two strands of DNA are easily separated a characteristic that is important to DNA's function.Hydrogen bonds form between adenine and thymine and between cytosine and guanine.

2.2 x 10^-2

0.055 / 250 = 0.00022 - This would be 2.2 x 10^-4, but the question is asking for percent, not proportion, so multiply by 100% to get the percentage.

0.00022 * 100% = 0.022% = 2.2 * 10^-2

Boil it. Kinetic energy is energy of motion and hot water moleculues move more

The trend of this graph is a. Negative b. Positive c. Zero

Sveta_85 [38]

B. positive because y increases as x does. It it were negative y would decrease as x increases and it would be 0 if y stayed the same as x increases.

Consider the following reaction:

adell [148]

Answer:

1. d[H₂O₂]/dt = -6.6 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹; d[H₂O]/dt = 6.6 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹

2. 0.58 mol

Explanation:

1.Given ΔO₂/Δt…

2H₂O₂ ⟶ 2H₂O + O₂

-½d[H₂O₂]/dt = +½d[H₂O]/dt = d[O₂]/dt

d[H₂O₂]/dt = -2d[O₂]/dt = -2 × 3.3 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹ = -6.6 × 10⁻³mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹

d[H₂O]/dt = 2d[O₂]/dt = 2 × 3.3 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹ = 6.6 × 10⁻³mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹

2. Moles of O₂

(a) Initial moles of H₂O₂

$\text{Moles} = \text{1.5 L} \times \dfrac{\text{1.0 mol}}{\text{1 L}} = \text{1.5 mol }$

(b) Final moles of H₂O₂

The concentration of H₂O₂ has dropped to 0.22 mol·L⁻¹.

$\text{Moles} = \text{1.5 L} \times \dfrac{\text{0.22 mol}}{\text{1 L}} = \text{0.33 mol }$

(c) Moles of H₂O₂ reacted

Moles reacted = 1.5 mol - 0.33 mol = 1.17 mol

(d) Moles of O₂ formed

$\text{Moles of O}_{2} = \text{1.33 mol H$_{2}$O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{2 mol H$_{2}$O}_{2}} = \textbf{0.58 mol O}_{2}\\\\\text{The amount of oxygen formed is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.58 mol}}$}$
