Biologists use ball-and-stick models to study complex molecules by representing atoms with balls and bonds with sticks. DNA is a

biological molecule that contains millions of atoms. What is a limitation of using a ball-and-stick model for DNA?

The disadvantages of a Balla and Stick model are:
It has a lot of parts and therefore, building the model consumes a lot of time. 
Secondly, only single bonds are shown in the same. The double or triple bonds, as well as the atom containing the lone of a pair of electrons, are not demonstrated in this model.

Answer:DNA has so many atoms that the size and cost of a model could be too great.

Entropy measures _____. 1 point<br> A. Energy<br> B. Heat Transferred<br> C. Disorder<br> D. Force
dlinn [17]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The degree of randomness or disorder is known as entropy. This means that more randomly or rapidly the molecules of a substance are moving in a container or in the Universe more will be its entropy.

For example, gases move more rapidly that solids or liquids and hence gases have high entropy.

Therefore, we can conclude that entropy measures disorder.

At constant pressure, which of these systems do work on the surroundings? Check all that apply.
lana66690 [7]
I believe the correct answers from the choices listed above are the second and the last option. At constant pressure, the systems 2A(g) + B(g) ---> 4C(g)  and 2C(g) A(s) + B(s) ---> C(g) produces work to the surroundings. <span>When a gas is evolved during a chemical reaction, the gas can be imagined as displacing the atmosphere - pushing it back against the atmospheric pressure. The work done is therefore V*P where V is the volume of gas evolved, and P is the atmospheric pressure. </span>

Why do covalent bonds not involve the transfer of electrons
zhannawk [14.2K]
Covalent bonds do not involve electron transfer because in covalent bonds, the electrons are shared between the atoms to form the molecule rather than being transferred to form ions as it is in the case of ionic bonds.<span />

Automobile airbags contain solid sodium azide, NaN 3 , that reacts to produce nitrogen gas when heated, thus inflating the bag.
Yuri [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of work for the system is -935.23 J

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of sodium azide = 16.5 g

Molar mass of sodium azide = 65 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of sodium azide}=\frac{16.5g}{65g/mol}=0.254mol

The given chemical equation follows:

2NaN_3(s)\rightarrow 2Na(s)+3N_2(g)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of sodium azide produces 3 moles of nitrogen gas

So, 0.254 moles of sodium azide will produce = \frac{3}{2}\times 0.254=0.381mol of nitrogen gas

To calculate volume of the gas given, we use the equation given by ideal gas, which follows:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 1.00 atm

V = Volume of the gas = ?

T = Temperature of the gas = 22^oC=[22+273]K=295K

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L. atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = number of moles of nitrogen gas = 0.381 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.00atm\times V=0.381mol\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 295K\\\\V=\frac{0.381\times 0.0821\times 295}{1.00}=9.23L

To calculate the work done for expansion, we use the equation:

W=-P\Delta V

We are given:

P = pressure of the system = 1atm=1.01325\times 10^5Pa     (Conversion factor:  1 atm = 101325 Pa)

\Delta V = change in volume = 9.23L=9.23\times 10^{-3}m^3     (Conversion factor:  1m^3=1000L )

Putting values in above equation, we get:

W=-1.01325\times 10^5Pa\times 9.23\times 10^{-3}m^3\\\\W=-935.23J

Hence, the value of work for the system is -935.23 J
