Are the bases on the interior or the exterior of the double helix? Are they randomly arranged or neatly stacked?

Each helix corresponds to a nucleotide chain, and the two chains are joined throughout their length by adenine-thymine or guanine-cytosine pairs. These base pairs are STACKED one above the other with their planes perpendicular to the axis of the two spirals. This places the hydrophobic base pairs inside the structure and allows the hydrophilic sugar and phosphate groups to contact water on the exterior. The whole helix will just fit inside a cylinder 2000 pm in diameter.

the double helix is hydrogen bonded through the bases only so the bases are inside the helix only

as adenine combines with thymine and guanine with cytosine

phosphate are in the exterior of it

sugar groups constitute the double helix.

Answer:

75 ml of 0.1M  base neutralizes 25 ml of 0.1M acid, which means the acid has 0.3 moles/L of H ion

but that means each molecule of the acid has 3 times as many H ions aH ions in a molecule of NaOH

which means the formula for the acid must be H3A and

the value of x in

HxA is 3

Explanation:

75ml of a solutipn of 0.1moL  l-1 NaOH neutralises 25ml of a solution of an acid. The formula of the acid is HxA and the concentration of the acid is 0.1mol l-1. What is the value of x?​

the concentration of both the and the base are the same at 0.1M

the base...NaOH has 0.1 moles/L of OH ion

75 ml of 0.1M  base neutralizes 25 ml of 0.1M acid, which means the acid has 0.3 moles/L of H ion

but that means each molecule of the acid has 3 times as many H ions aH ions in a molecule of NaOH

which means the formula for the acid must be H3A and the value of x in

HxA is 3

A sample of 42 mL of carbon dioxide gas was placed in a piston in order to maintain a constant 101 kPa of pressure.
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 33.4 ml

Explanation:

Data

volume 1 = V1 = 42 ml

temperature 1 = T1 = 20°C

temperature 2 = T2 = -60°C

Volume 2 = V2 = x

Process

1.- Convert celsius to kelvin

T1 = 20 + 273 = 293°K

T2 = -60 + 273 = 233°K

2.- Use the Charles' law to solve this problem

               \frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}

Solve for V2

                V2 = \frac{V1T2}{T1}

3.- Substitution

               V2 = \frac{(42)(233)}{293}

4.- Simplification

                V2 = \frac{9786}{293}

5.- Result

                V2 = 33.4ml
