Answer:

DNA is polar due to its highly charged phosphate backbone. Its polarity makes it water-soluble (water is polar) according to the principle "like dissolves like". ... This fact makes water a very good solvent for charged compounds like salts.

Your DNA's sugar phosphate backbone is charged. By adding salt, we help neutralize the DNA charge and make the molecule less hydrophilic, meaning it becomes less soluble in water. The salt also helps to remove proteins that are bound to the DNA and to keep the proteins dissolved in the water.

It is well known that Ethanol has a lower dielectric constant than water, making it to promote ionic bond formations between the Na+ (from the salt) and the PO3- (from the DNA backbone), further, causing the DNA to precipitate.

Explanation:

Ideally DNA needs to be precipitated with pellet and should not remain in supernatant. DNA is acidic in nature and therefore, needs optimum salt concentration in the buffer to be pelleted from a solution. At very low salt concentration or without salt DNA would remain in supernatant.

Explanation:

Because of this, DNA and RNA can easily dissolve in water. ... Adding ethanol helps the Na+ and PO3- ions come together, because ions travel easier in ethanol than water. The supernate is removed and new ethanol is added in the second washing. This removes any residual salt that remained on the pelleted DNA.

d) A short ton of coal holds about 2.24 x 107 J of energy and costs about $56.45 per short ton. How many Joules of energy in the

Feliz [49]

Answer:

396811.337 J

Explanation:

The cost of one short ton of coal = $56.45

The energy related to the short ton of coal = $2.24\times 10^{7}\ J$

Thus, As according to the question,

$56.45 of coal have $2.24\times 10^{7}\ J$ of energy.

$1 of coal have $\frac{2.24\times 10^{7}}{56.45}\ J$ of energy.

The amount of energy = 396811.337 J

When 0.42 g of a compound containing C, H, and O is burned completely, the products are 1.03 g CO2 and 0.14 g H2O. The molecular

Luda [366]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_2H_2O_4$ and $C_6H_4O_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=1.03g$

Mass of $H_2O=0.14g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 1.03 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 1.03=0.28g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.14 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.14=0.016g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.42) - (0.28 + 0.016) = 0.124 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.28g}{12g/mole}=0.023moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.016g}{1g/mole}=0.016moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.124g}{16g/mole}=0.00775moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.00775 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.023}{0.00775}=2.96\approx 3$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.016}{0.00775}=2.06\approx 2$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.00775}{0.00775}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 3 : 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_{2}O_1=C_3H_2O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 108.10 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 54 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{108.10g/mol}{54g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(3\times 2)}H_{(2\times 2)}O_{(1\times 2)}=C_6H_4O_2$

Thus, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_3H_2O$ and $C_6H_4O_2$
