What happens in a decomposition reaction​

Chemistry
2 answers:
Paladinen [302]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

It breaks down into multiple elements

Explanation:

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in witch a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds. These reactions often involve an energy source such as heat, light, or electricity that breaks apart the bonds of compound

A decomposition reaction is when a compound breaks down into elements or smaller compounds.

For example, 2 moles hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, could decompose into 2 moles of water and one mole of oxygen.

2 H2O2 = 2 H2O + O2

What is a DNA fingerprint and why is it considered individual evidence?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

<em>DNA fingerprinting is a laboratory technique used to establish a link between biological evidence and a suspect in a criminal investigation.</em><em> </em>

<em>A DNA sample taken from a crime scene is compared with a DNA sample from a suspect. If the two DNA profiles are a match, then the evidence came from that suspect.</em>

Copper reacts with silver nitrate through single replacement.
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

  • Part a) 0.0104 moles copper(II) nitrate.

  • Part b)

            i) 0.0418 mole Cu

            ii) 0.0209 mol Ag NO₃

Explanation:

<u>1) Balanced chemical reaction (single replacement):</u>

In a single replacement reaction a more acitve metal (Cu) replaces a less active metal (Ag)

  • Cu + 2 Ag NO₃ → Cu (NO₃)₂ + 2 Ag

<u>2) Mole ratio: </u>

  • 1 mole Cu : 2 mole Ag NO₃ : 2 mole Ag

<u />

<u>3) Moles of Ag</u>

  • n = mass in grams / atomic mass
  • atomic mass of Ag: 107.868 g/mol
  • n = 2.25 g / 107.868 g/mol = 0.0209 mol Ag

<u>4) Moles of copper(II) nitrate:</u>

  • Set the proportion using the mole ratio:
  • 2 mole Ag / 1 mole Cu (NO₃)₂ = 0.0209 mole Ag / x
  • Solve: x = 0.0209 / 2 mole Cu (NO₃)₂ =  0.0104 moles Cu(NO₃)₂

That is the answer of part a: 0.0104 moles copper(II) nitrate.

<u>5) Moles of each reactant</u>

i) Cu:

  • Set a proportion using the theoretical mole ratio

        1 mole Cu / 2 mole Ag = x / 0.0209 mol Ag

  • Solve for x: x = 0.0209 / 2 mole Cu = 0.0418 mole Cu

ii) Ag NO₃

  • Set a proportion using the teoretical mole ratio

   

       2 mole Ag NO₃ / 2 mole Ag = x / 0.0209 mole Ag

  • Solve for x: x = 0.0209 mol Ag NO₃

the diagram below shows DNA molecules. What do the broken lines connected to hydrogen atoms represent in this diagram?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer is: hydrogen bonds.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.

According to the principle of base pairing hydrogen bonds could form between adenine and thymine (two hydrogen bonds between this nucleobases) and guanine and cytosine (three hydrogen bonds between this nucleobases).

Adenine and guanine are purine derivatives and thymine and cytosine are pyrimidine derivates.
