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 is the mass of a 1.68-l sample of a liquid that has a density of 0.921g/ml?
Gwar [14]
Hey there!

Volume in mL :

1.68 L  * 1000 => 1680 mL

Density = 0.921 g/mL

Therefore:

Mass = density * Volume

Mass = 0.921 * 1680

Mass = 1547.28 g

Define the following: Bronsted-Lowry acid - Lewis acid- Strong acid - (5 points) Problem 6: Consider the following acid base rea
Allushta [10]

Answer: Yes, HCl is a strong acid.

acid = HCl , conjugate base = Cl^- , base = H_2O, conjugate acid = H_3O^+

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

Yes HCl is a strong acid as it completely dissociates in water to give H^+ ions.

HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^-

For the given chemical equation:

HCl+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^-+Cl^-

Here, HCl is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms Cl^- which is a conjugate base.

And, H_2O is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms H_3O^+ which is a conjugate acid.

Thus acid =  HCl

conjugate base = Cl^-

base = H_2O

conjugate acid = H_3O^+.
