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.

What is the pH of a 0.00530 M solution of HCI?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

2.28

Explanation:

HCl(l) ===> H+ + cl-

HCl is a very strong acid. Almost all of it will decompose to the right. That means the concentration of H+ is 0.00530

pH = - log [H+]

pH = - log[0.00530]

pH = - - 2.2757

pH = 2.2757

Rounded this 2.28

dentify the correct formula for the following ionic compounds. - sodium chloride - magnesium chloride - calcium oxide - lithium
andrey2020 [161]

Explanation:

The chemical formula of an ionic compound can be written by using the symbols of the respective cations and anions.

The overall charge on the molecule should be zero.

Hence, the total charge of cations=total charge of anions.

The symbols of the given molecules are shown below:

sodium chloride  ---- NaCl

magnesium chloride ---MgCl_2

calcium oxide ---- CaO

lithium phosphide----Li_3P

aluminum sulfide ----- Al_2S_3

calcium nitride---- Ca_3N_2

1. How many grams would 8.1 x 1021 molecules of sucrose (C12H22011)<br> weigh?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Mass = 4.6 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of sucrose = 8.1 ×10²¹ molecules

Mass of sucrose = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of moles by using Avogadro number.

1 mole × 8.1 ×10²¹ molecules / 6.022×10²³ molecules

1.35 × 10⁻² mol

Mass of sucrose:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass = 342.3 g/mol

Mass = 1.35 × 10⁻² mol ×342.3 g/mol

Mass = 462.1  × 10⁻² g

Mass = 4.6 g
