Answer: Nitrogenous bases guanine(G), adenine(A), cytosine(C) and thymine(T) forms the rungs of the ladder in twisted ladder structure of DNA.

Explanation:

Rungs of the ladder are normally horizontal small logs placed one after the other with small gaps between them on the two vertically standing logs of the ladder.

Since, DNA resembles the twisted ladder structure the rungs of the ladder structure of DNA are the organic nitrogenous basic molecules which are associated to their respective base with the help of hydrogen bonding.

In DNA, there are four bases guanine(G), adenine(A), cytosine(C) and thymine(T). These bases through hydrogen bonding are associated with there respective bases :adenine is bonded to thymine and guanine is bonded cytosine.

(A=T): Two hydrogen bonds between the bases

(C≡G): Three hydrogen bonds between the bases.

The equations given in the problem introduction can be added together to give the following reaction: overall: N2O4→2NO2 However

Answer:

Reverse the $2 NO_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$ reaction

Explanation:

Reactions:

$2 NO_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$

Overall:

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO_2$

As can be seen, in the overall reaction we have $N_2O_4$ in the reactants like in the second reaction and $NO_2$ in the products. The $NO_2$ is in the first reaction but as a reactant so we need to reverse that reaction:

$2 NO + O_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO_2$

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$

Combining:

$N_2O_4 + 2 NO + O_2\longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2 + 2 NO_2$

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO_2$

It is composed of an alloy that is 90% Platinum and 10% Iridium; having a density of 21.186 g/cm3. What is the volume of the Sta

oksian1 [2.3K]

The alloy has a density of 21.186g/cc. So for a kilogram or 1000 grams/21.186 g/cc= 45.7 cc. So the answer is 45.7 cc of the allow to make up a kilogram which shows that the density of the allow can be used to calculate the volume of a larger mass ie the kilogram.

Which of these is the best definition of a fuel cell?

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

A voltaic cell that uses the oxidation of a fuel to produce electricity

Explanation:

A fuel cell is a voltaic cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel and an oxidizing agent into electricity.

A. is wrong. This definition is so broad that it could include a candle in a cup.

C is wrong. The batteries in flashlights and cell phones are not fuel cells.
