What enables Dna to have so many variations with only 4 chemicals?

1 answer:

5 0

There are many combinations because it is not all about the number of chemicals, but also about the size of the strand. The longer the strand the more combinations there are and more variations and various lengths provide various results.

What always happens during a chemical change?

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

In a chemical change, the atoms in the reactants rearrange themselves and bond together differently to form one or more new products with different characteristics than the reactants. When a new substance is formed, the change is called a chemical change.

What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that contains a) 45.5 lbm of silver, b) 83.7 lbm of gold, and c) 6.3 lbm o

Answer:

$\% atAg=44.6\%\\\% atAu=44.9\%\\\% atCu=10.5\%$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for computing the atom percent, one must obtain the number of atoms of silver, gold and copper as shown below:

$atomsAg=45.5lbm*\frac{453.59g}{1lbm}*\frac{1molAg}{107.87gAg}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}atomsAg}{1molAg}=1.15x10^{26}atomsAg\\atomsAu=83.7lbm*\frac{453.59g}{1lbm}*\frac{1molAu}{196.97gAu}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}atomsAu}{1molAu}=1.16x10^{26}atomsAu\\atomsCu=6.3lbm*\frac{453.59g}{1lbm}*\frac{1molAg}{63.55gCu}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}atomsCu}{1molCu}=2.71x10^{25}atomsCu$

Thus, the atom percent turns out:

$\% atAg=\frac{1.15x10^{26}}{1.15x10^{26}+1.16x10^{26}+2.71x10^{25}}*100\% =44.6\%\\\% atAu=\frac{1.16x10^{26}}{1.15x10^{26}+1.16x10^{26}+2.71x10^{25}}*100\% =44.9\%\\\% atCu=\frac{2.71x10^{25}}{1.15x10^{26}+1.16x10^{26}+2.71x10^{25}}*100\% =10.5\%$
