 When placed in an electrical field, the negative charge found in the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA polymers cause them to migrate towards the positive electrode. 

<span>In gel electrophoresis, electricity is used to separate fragments of DNA based on its length. DNA is place in a porous gel. The pores of the gel restricts the movement of the DNA. It then creates fragments on the DNA because its movement varies on its lengths.  </span>

For a gaseous reaction, standard conditions are 298 K and a partial pressure of 1 atm for all species. For the reaction 2 NO ( g
enyata [817]

Answer:

ΔG = -61.5 kJ/mol (<u>Spontaneous process</u>)

Explanation:

2 NO (g)  +  O₂  (g)   ⇄  2NO₂ (g)

Let's apply the thermodynamic formula to calculate the ΔG

ΔG = ΔG° + R .T . lnQ

We don't know if the gases are at equilibrium, that's why we apply Q (reaction quotient)

ΔG = - 69 kJ/mol + 8.31x10⁻³ kJ/K.mol . 298K . ln Q

How can we know Q? By the partial pressures (Qp)

P NO = 0.450atm

PO₂ = 0.1 atm

PNO₂ = 0.650 atm

Qp = [NO₂]² / [NO]² . [O₂]

Qp = 0.650² / 0.450² . 0.1 = 20.86

ΔG = - 69 kJ/mol + 8.31x10⁻³ kJ/K.mol . 298K . ln 20.86

ΔG = -61.5 kJ/mol (<u>Spontaneous process</u>)
