Answer:

D. Hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs89

Explanation:

A DNA molecule is composed of two long polynucleotide chains made of four types of nucleotide subunits, two purines (adenine and guanine) and two pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine). These nucleotides are joined by covalent bonds forming a phosphate-sugar backbone. <em>These strands are held to one another with hydrogen bonds between the base portions of complementary nucleotides.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Element x reacts with oxygen to produce x2o3 in an experiment it is found that 1.0000 g of x produces 1.1xxx g of x2o3 what is t
8_murik_8 [283]

Since X is 1 g, therefore O must be 0.1 g. Therefore:

moles O = 0.1 g / (16 g / mol) = 0.00625 mol

 

We can see that for every 3 moles of O, there are 2 moles of X, therefore:

moles X = 0.00625 mol O (3 moles X / 2 moles O) = 0.009375 mol

 

Molar mass X = 1 g / 0.009375 mol

<span>Molar mass X = 106.67 g/mol</span>

How many grams of KCIO3 are needed to produce 5.00 of O2 at STP?
Arlecino [84]
2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

mole ratio of KClO₃ to O₂ is 2 : 3

∴ if moles of O₂ = 5 mol

then moles of KClO₃ = \frac{5 mol   *   2}{3}

                            = 3.33 mol


Mass of KClO₃ needed = mol of KClO₃ × molar mass of KClO₃

                                      = 3.33 mol × ((39 × 1) + (35.5 × 1) + (16 × 3) g/mol

                                      = 407.93 g
