Answer:

Qualitative chemical and enzyme tests help Avery to identify DNA as the transforming principle as they clarify the chemical nature of genes, that they are form of nucleic acids.

Explanation:

One of Avery’s qualitative chemical test result was that the transforming principle could precipitate with alcohol, so this demonstrate it was not a carbohydrate.

The enzyme test demonstrated that proteases (enzymes that digest protein) and lipases (enzymes that digest lipids) did not destroy the transforming principle, so the scientist concluded that it was neither a protein nor a lipid.

The bacteriologist found out that the transforming principle was formed of nucleic acids so they tested the sample with ribonuclease (enzyme that digest RNA) but it did not inactivate the substance. And finally he tested it with deoxyribonuclease and it was enzymatically destroyed. So he concluded that the isolated transforming principle was DNA.

11 Which compound has the greatest percent composition by mass of sulfur?(1) BaS (3) MgS
harina [27]
Percent composition by mass is calculated (mass of element within compound)/(mass of compound)*100. The lower the total molar mass of the compound, the greater the percent composition of sulfur. In this case, MgS would be that compound, since Mg has the lowest molar mass of the four elements bonded to S.

Answer: Option B) Pure Substance &

Compound

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a compound because it is formed when one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms chemically combined together.

C(s) + O2(g) ---> CO2(g)

Also, CO2 is a pure substance because it is natural and cannot be broken down easily or separated by physical methods.
