Hydrogen bonds

Guanine-cytosine and adenine-thymine <em>hydrogen bonds</em> hold the strands of a DNA helix together.

Answer:

Hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are the intermolecular forces responsible for base pairing and double helix stability in DNA.

The hydrogen bonds that bind the two strands of DNA are “weak” covalent bonds, meaning they easily denature, which means that they separate and reconnect very easily.

Regarding the nitrogenous bases of DNA, Adenine is paired with Thymine, forming the A-T base pair, and there is double hydrogen bonding between these bases. In the same way that guanine binds to cytosine and forms the base pair G-C by triple hydrogen bonding. And the two chains link through weak hydrogen bridges between the nitrogenous bases of nucleotides, responsible for maintaining the double helix structure of DNA.

A 20.00 ml sample of a solution of sr(oh)2 is titrated to the equivalence point with 40.03 ml of 0.1159 n hcl. what is the molar
goblinko [34]
The   molarity  of Sr(OH)2  solution is  =  0.1159 M

    calculation
write the equation  for reaction
that is,  Sr(OH)2 +2HCl→ SrCl2 + 2 H2O

then finds the mole  of HCl used

moles = molarity x volume 
=40.03 x0.1159 =  4.639 moles

by  use of mole ratio between Sr(OH)2 to  HCL which is 1 :2  the moles of Sr(OH)2  is therefore =  4.639  x1/2 = 2.312  moles

molarity  of  Sr(OH)2  is =  moles  / volume

=2.312 /20 =0.1159 M

When chemicals react with each other which factors decide that a successful reaction has taken place ?
Elodia [21]

The factors that affect the rate of a reaction are:

  • <em>nature of the reactant</em> - when reactants with different chemical composition are exposed to same conditions they would react differently.  For instance, when an acid or base is added on litmus paper, blue litmus paper turns red in presence of acid while red litmus paper turns blue when base is added.
  • <em>surface area</em>- a compound with small pieces spread over a large area will react faster than a big lump of a compound occupying a small area.
  • <em>temperature of reaction</em>- reactants would react faster at high temperatures. this is because they have higher kinetic energy to collide with each other. Hence a plate of food on the table spoils faster than a plate of food in the fridge.
  • <em>concentration</em>- an increase in concentration leads to more molecules available to collide and form products. An example, when you add more of indicator in a solution, the color becomes more clear since more particles react to give more color.
  • <em>presence of a catalyst</em>- a catalyst lowers the activation energy, which means less energy is required to shift reaction in forward direction. In the presence of iron (Fe) a catalyst, nitrogen N₂ and hydrogen H₂ react to produce NH₃

A reaction rate assay measures enzyme _______________; and a colorimetric endpoint assay measures ________________.
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The correct option is: A. activity; concentration

Explanation:

A reaction rate essay is a laboratory method to determine the activity of an enzyme. It is necessary for determining the enzyme kinetics and inhibition.

Whereas, a colorimetric analysis is a method to determine the concentration of a chemical compound in a solution. Therefore, a colorimetric endpoint assay measures the concentration.

Therefore, Enzyme activity is measured by a reaction rate assay and the concentration is measured by a colorimetric endpoint assay.

Which of the following statements best describes why a chemical change is different from a physical change.
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

C) Chemical changes involve formation of a new substance while physical change only impacts appearance or form.

Explanation:

The obvious difference between a chemical change and physical change is that in a chemical change new substances are produced while in a physical change, the form of the compounds are altered.

  • Most phase changes are products of physical changes. Such changes are easily reversible.
  • In a chemical change, a new kind of matter is formed. It is accompanied by energy changes.
  • The process is not easily reversible.
