Answer:

DNA is twisted because that is the way the bonds cause it to form. Some things are just the way they are because of the way they are made.

Answer:

If DNA were a straight ladder the bases would thus be too far apart to form a stable stack.

DNA is twisted because that is the way the bonds cause it to form. Some things are just the way they are because of the way they are made.

Answer: $2NaNO_3(aq)+(CH_3COO)_2Pb(aq)\rightarrow 2CH_3COONa(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)$

Explanation: A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

The compounds which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

Thus the exchange of ions take place and all the compounds are soluble so the chemical formulas are followed by the symbol (aq).

A 101.2 ml sample of 1.00 m naoh is mixed with 50.6 ml of 1.00 m h2so4 in a large styrofoam coffee cup; the cup is fitted with a

The enthalpy change of the reaction when sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid react can be calculated using the mass of solution, temperature change, and specific heat of water.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction can be represented as,

$H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + 2NaOH (aq) ----> Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + 2H_{2}O(l)$

Given volume of the solution = 101.2 mL + 50.6 mL = 151.8 mL

Heat of the reaction, q = $m C .$ Δ $T$

m is mass of the solution = 151.8 mL * $\frac{1 g}{1 mL} = 151.8 g$

C is the specific heat of solution = 4.18 $\frac{J}{g. ^{0}C}$

ΔT is the temperature change = $31.50^{0}C - 21.45^{0}C = 10.05^{0}C$

q = $151.8 g (4.18 \frac{J}{g ^{0}C})(10.05^{0}C) = 6377 J$

Moles of NaOH = $101.2 mL * \frac{1L}{1000 mL}*\frac{1.00 mol}{L} = 0.1012 mol$ NaOH

Moles of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ = $50.6 mL * \frac{1 L}{1000 mL} * \frac{1.0 mol}{1 L} = 0.0506 mol H_{2}SO_{4}$

Enthalpy of the reaction = $\frac{6377 J*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}}{0.0506 mol} = 126 kJ/mol$

Gold (au) goes from an oxidation number of +3 to 0 in the reaction below. 2Au3+ + 6I- ---> 2Au + 3I2. what describes the Au3+

mamaluj [8]

In a reduction-oxidation or better known as REDOX reaction, the substance that reduces the oxidation state is known as the substance that is REDUCED. It serves as the oxidizing agent. Thus, Au3+ in this number is considered as the oxidizing agent.

Explain in words or using your diagrams how beryllium atoms would react with fluorine atoms.

Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

To delineate the the nature of the bonds that would be formed between the two elements, let us first write the electronic configuration of the two species;

Be = 2, 2

F = 2, 7

Beryllium is a metal with two valence electrons whereas fluorine is a halogen with seven valence electrons.

When Be loses two electrons it becomes isoelectronic with He;

Be → Be²⁺ + 2e⁻

Also, when fluorine gains an electron, it becomes isoelectronic with Ne;

F + e⁻ → F⁻

This loss and gain of electrons between the two elements creates an electrostatic attraction them and they enter into an electrovalent bond.

Hence;

Be²⁺ + 2F⁻ → BeF₂
