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.

What term best describes the type of reaction that happens when a single element reacts with a molecule or compound, producing a
gogolik [260]

The answer is

C. A single replacement reaction (acid reactions)

An example would be the reaction between simple metal Potassium (K) and Water (H2O), resulting in a much solid compound called Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas is set free.

K+H2O --> KOH

What is Δn for the following equation in relating Kc to Kp?2 SO2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2 SO3(g)23-2-11
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

-1

Explanation:

The relation between Kp and Kc is given below:

K_p= K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n}

Where,  

Kp is the pressure equilibrium constant

Kc is the molar equilibrium constant

R is gas constant

T is the temperature in Kelvins

Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants)

For the first equilibrium reaction:

2SO_2_{(g)}+O_2_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons2SO_3_{(g)}

<u>Δn = (2)-(2+1) = -1  </u>

Thus, Kp is:

K_p=  K_c\times (RT)^{-1}

Define the dead or void time in HPLC? <br> Plzzz help I’m struggling
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

2 Answers. The column is filled with the carrier (liquid or gas) before the sample is injected. Thus if there is no interaction between the sample and the column, then the fastest that the sample can get to the detector is the dead time denoted by tM in the diagram.
