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!

Sodium metal and water react to create sodium hydrogen and hydrogen gas through the unbalanced equation.
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Theoretical yield = 2.5 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium = 79.7 g

Mass of water = 45.3 g

Theoretical yield of hydrogen gas = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂

Number of moles of sodium:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 79.7 g / 23 g/mol

Number of moles = 3.5 mol

Number of moles of water:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 45.3 g / 18g/mol

Number of moles = 2.5 mol

Now we will compare the moles of hydrogen gas with water and sodium.

                        H₂O           :             H₂

                           2             :              1

                          2.5           :            1/2×2.5 =1.25 mol

                     

                           Na           :              H₂

                             2            :               1

                           3.5           :             1/2×3.5 =1.75 mol

water will be limiting reactant.

Theoretical yield:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =  1.25 mol  × 2 g/mol

Mass = 2.5 g

If the mass of the baking soda before the reaction was 10 grams and the mass of the vinegar was 15 grams and all of the baking s
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

8.946g NaHCO₃,

14.475g H₂O,

1.025g CH₃COO⁻Na⁺,

0.500g CO₂.

Explanation:

Baking soda (NaHCO₃) reacts with vinegar (CH₃COOH 5%) producing  CH₃COO⁻Na⁺, H₂O and CO₂, thus:

NaHCO₃ + CH₃COOH → CH₃COO⁻Na⁺ + H₂O + CO₂

10g of NaHCO₃ are:

10g × (1mol / 84g) = 0.119 moles NaHCO₃

Moles of CH₃COOH in 15g of vinegar are:

15g vinegar × 5% = 0.75g CH₃COOH × (1mol / 60g) = 0.0125moles CH₃ COOH

After reaction, moles of NaHCO₃ that remains are:

0.119mol - 0.0125mol = <em>0.1065 moles NaHCO₃</em>

In mass:

0.1065mol ₓ (84g / 1mol) = <em>8.946g NaHCO₃</em>

Acetic acid reacts completely producing  0.0125moles of CH₃COO⁻Na⁺, water and CO₂. In mass:

CH₃COO⁻Na⁺ = 0.0125mol ₓ (82.03g / 1mol) = <em>1.025g CH₃COO⁻Na⁺</em>

H₂O = 0.0125mol ₓ (18.01g / 1mol) = <em>0.225g H₂O</em>

CO₂ = 0.0125mol ₓ (40g / 1mol) = <em>0.500g CO₂</em>

Now, 95% of vinegar is water (Doesn't react), that is:

15g × 95% = 14.25g H₂O. Total mass of water is:

14.25g + 0.225g = <em>14.475g H₂O</em>

<em></em>

Total mass is:

8.946g + 14.475g H₂O + 1.025g + 0.500g ≈ 25g. The same than initial mass following law of conservation of matter.
