Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to use the expression of half life decay of concentration (or mass) which is the following:

m = m₀e^-kt  (1)

In this case, k will be the constant rate of this element. This is calculated using the following expression:

k = ln2/t₁/₂  (2)

Let's calculate the value of k first:

k = ln2/2.7 = 0.2567 d⁻¹

Now, we can use the expression (1) to calculate the remaining mass:

m = 8.1 * e^(-0.2567 * 2.6)

m = 8.1 * e^(-0.6674)

m = 8.1 * 0.51303

m = 4.16 mg remaining

What kind of chemical bond is found between paired bases of the dna double helix?
zimovet [89]
Hydrogen. Covalent bonds occur within each linear strand and strongly bond the bases, sugars, and phosphate groups (both within each component and between components). Hydrogen bonds occur between the two strands and involve a base from one strand with a base from the second in complementary pairing.
