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.

Water molecules tend to stick to one another by _____.
ser-zykov [4K]
Each water molecule consists of two atoms of the element hydrogen joined to one atom of the element oxygen. An interesting property of water is the ability of its molecules to “stick together.” This occurs because one side of each water molecule is slightly negative and the other side is slightly positive. The positive portion of a water molecule is attracted to the negative portion of an adjacent water molecule. As a result, water molecules are called polar molecules. They attract other water molecules like little magnets. It is most likely ionic bonding but between hydrogen and oxygen it is covalent.

The number of moles of chloride ions in 250 ml of 4.00 M MgCL2
Tamiku [17]
If you mean 4 moles per litre then:
In 1 litre there is 4 moles, therefore in .25 litres there is 1 mole.
1 mole of Magnesium Chloride would produce 2 moles of chloride ions (MgCl2 can also be written as Mg1Cl2, which dissolves to produce 1Mg(2+) and 2Cl(1-) ions: a 1:2 ratio)

So the answer is 2 moles of Chloride ions.
