Hydrogen. Covalent bonds occur within each linear strand and strongly bond the bases, sugars, and phosphate groups (both within each component and between components). Hydrogen bonds occur between the two strands and involve a base from one strand with a base from the second in complementary pairing.
Answer: final temperatures will be
a) water 21 C
b) concrete 20.005 C
c) steel 20.008 C
d) mercury 53 C
Explanation:
Change in temp dT = dH / (mass x specific heat)
Specific heat of these materials can be found from many sources:
water = 1 kcal / kg C
concrete = 210 kcal / kg C
steel = 114 kcal / kg C
mercury = 0.03 kcal /kg C
So dT (water) from 1 kcal heat into 1 kg water = 1 kcal / (1 kg x 1 kcal/kg C) = 1 C therefore the final temperature is 20 + 1 = 21 C
But dT (steel) = 1 kcal / (1kg x 114 kcal/kg C) = 0.008 C so the final temperature is 20 + 0.008 = 20.008 C
The results for concrete and mercury are calculated in the same way
Molarity is moles of solute per litre of solvent. We're given mass of solute, but can convert to moles using the molar mass of NaOH (40 g/mol). There are 10 g / 40 g/mol = 0.25 mol of NaOH in the solution.
M = 0.25 mol / 2.0 L = 0.125M
The second answer (0.13M) is the correct one.

a) 0.1 M HF Ka = 7.2 x 10⁻⁴
HF= weak acid
