Describe how nucleic acid basis pair up

Chemistry
1 answer:
castortr0y [4]3 years ago
7 0

The rules of base pairing (or nucleotide pairing) are: A with T: the purine adenine (A) always pairs with the pyrimidine thymine (T) C with G: the pyrimidine cytosine (C) always pairs with the purine guanine (G)

The nucleotides in a base pair are complementary which means their shape allows them to bond together with hydrogen bonds. The A-T pair forms two hydrogen bonds. The C-G pair forms three. The hydrogen bonding between complementary bases holds the two strands of DNA together.

The following reaction is found to be at equilibrium at 25 celcius: 2SO3--->O2 + 2SO2 + 198kJ/mol. If the value for Kc at 25
kondaur [170]

Answer:

D.) Products are weakly favored

Explanation:

For the reaction:

2SO₃ ⇄ O₂ + 2SO₂ + 198kJ/mol

The kc is defined as:

kc = [O₂] [SO₂]² / [SO₃]²

As the kc is 8,1:

8,1 [SO₃]² =  [O₂] [SO₂]²

The products are favored 8,1 times. This is a weakly favored because the usual kc are in the order of 1x10⁴. Thus, right answer is:

D.) Products are weakly favored

I hope it helps!

Can anyone explain dipoles in chemistry?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A dipole refers to a bond in which its two ends have opposite charges. A dipole results from a large difference in electronegativity between two atoms in a bond.

For instance, consider the bond between hydrogen and chlorine in HCl. The electronegativity of hydrogen is 2.2 while that of chlorine is 3.16. The significant electronegativity difference between the two atoms leads to a charge separation.

A partial positive charge appears on the atom that is less electronegative (hydrogen) while a negative charge appears on the more electronegative atom (chlorine).

This charge separation occurs because the shared electrons of the bond are more closely attracted to chlorine making it partially negative compared to hydrogen. A dipole moment now exists in the H-Cl bond hence the molecule is said to have a dipole.
