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.

What makes a substance pure?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: When a substance is pure, it is composed of one type of molecule. For example, table salt is only composed of (more or less) salt molecules, while seawater has water and salt molecules. A more complicated example of a non - pure substance is soil. It has many different types of nutrients and compounds.

A slender uniform rod 100.00 cm long is used as a meter stick. two parallel axes that are perpendicular to the rod are considere

kvv77 [185]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The second axis is at the centroid of the rod.
The length of the rod is L = 100 cm = 1 m

The first axis is located at 20 cm = 0.2 m from the centroid.
Let m = the mass of the rod.

The moment of inertia about the centroid (the 2nd axis) is
$I_{g} = \frac{mL^{2}}{12} = (m \, kg) \frac{(1 \, m)^{2}}{12} = \frac{m}{12} \, kg-m^{2}$

According to the parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia about the first axis is
$I_{1} = I_{g} + (m \, kg)(0.2 m)^{2} \\ I_{1} = \frac{m}{12}+ 0.04m = 0.1233m \, kg-m^{2}$

The ratio of the moment of inertia through the 2nd axis (centroid) to that through the 1st axis is
$\frac{I_{g}}{I_{1}} = \frac{0.0833m}{0.1233m} =0.6756$

Answer: 0.676

What is the pH of a 0.28 M solution of ascorbic acid

Nady [450]

Hey there!

Values Ka1 and Ka2 :

Ka1 => 8.0*10⁻⁵

Ka2 => 1.6*10⁻¹²

H2A + H2O -------> H3O⁺ + HA⁻

Ka2 is very less so I am not considering that dissociation.

Now Ka = 8.0*10⁻⁵ = [H3O⁺] [HA⁻] / [H2A]

lets concentration of H3O⁺ = X then above equation will be

8.0*10−5 = [x] [x] / [0.28 -x

8.0*10−5 = x² / [0.28 -x ]

x² + 8.0*10⁻⁵x - 2.24 * 10⁻⁵

solve the quardratic equation

X =0.004693 M

pH = -log[H⁺]

pH = - log [ 0.004693 ]

pH = 2.3285

Hope that helps!
