DNA in water. Would you expect the double helix in a short segment of DNA to be more stable in 100 sodium phosphate buffer at pH

7.0 or in pure water? Why?
Chemistry
1 answer:
Orlov [11]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

DNA is composed of large amount of amino acids and have a lot of amide groups .

Therefore , in the acidic or in basic medium , the DNA molecules is either dissociated  or dis stabilized via protonation or de protonation .

<u>The double helix structure of the DNA may break or get dis ordered .</u>

But , from the question , In sodium phosphate buffer at pH = 7.0 , is the neutral condition , hence , the DNA remains unchanged , because of the neutral medium .

And in pure water ,

The DNA molecule remains intact as , in pure water , there are no ions .

A block of iron has a mass of 150 g and a volume of 20 ml. What is the density of iron? *
shtirl [24]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 7.50 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass of iron = 150 g

volume = 20 mL

We have

density =  \frac{150}{20}  =  \frac{15}{2}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.50 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

How many electrons can be held in a sublevel l = 3?
muminat
There can be two electrons in one orbital maximum. The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max.

Hope this helped
Have a nice day :)

Observe: Set up the Gizmo to observe freezing. What do you notice about the temperature while the water is in the process of fre
kaheart [24]

Answer:

In cases where the water freezes, a release of energy occurs to the environment, therefore energy is lost, and it begins to "cool down".

The term cooling in chemical science today is not well seen since it is not considered that this exists, but would be replaced by the term "absence or loss of heat".

It is considered that a body cools when its temperature decreases, and if it continues to decrease as in the case of water, a point will reach the freezing point, which in this case that of water is 0 degrees Celsius, therefore when the cooling overcomes this thermal barrier the water solidifies "freezing"

Explanation:

In the case of pure water (H2O), the freezing point is 0 ° C. This means that, as long as it is at a temperature above 0ºC and below 100ºC (since that is its boiling point), the water will be in a liquid state.

Select the electron domain geometry and the molecular geometry for an ammonia molecule, NH3. Check all of the boxes that apply.
Mariulka [41]

The correct answer is option 4 and 5.

The electron domain geometry for an ammonia molecule, NH₃ has tetrahedral electron domain geometry. In NH₃ there are three bond pair electrons and one lone pair electron. Therefore, NH₃ has four electron pairs which are distributed in a tetrahedral shape.

The molecular geometry for an ammonia molecule, NH₃ is trigonal-pyramidal molecular geometry. Ammonia has one lone pair of electron and three bond pairs of electrons thus the resulting molecular geometry is trigonal-pyramidal.
