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 normal freezing point of a certain liquid
stepladder [879]

Answer : The molal freezing point depression constant of X is 4.12^oC/m

Explanation :  Given,

Mass of urea (solute) = 5.90 g

Mass of X liquid (solvent) = 450.0 g

Molar mass of urea = 60 g/mole

Formula used :  

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m\\\\T^o-T_s=i\times K_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of urea}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of urea}\times \text{Mass of X liquid}}

where,

\Delta T_f = change in freezing point

\Delta T_s = freezing point of solution = -0.5^oC

\Delta T^o = freezing point of liquid X= 0.4^oC

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1  (for non-electrolyte)

K_f = molal freezing point depression constant of X = ?

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

[0.4-(-0.5)]^oC=1\times k_f\times \frac{5.90g\times 1000}{60g/mol\times 450.0g}

k_f=4.12^oC/m

Therefore, the molal freezing point depression constant of X is 4.12^oC/m

The following equation is one way to prepare oxygen in a lab. 2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2 Molar mass Info: MM O2 = 32 g/mol MM KCl = 74
Alex73 [517]
From  the  equation  above   the  reacting   ratio  of  KClO3   to  O2  is  2:3 therefore  the  number  of  moles  of  oxygen  produced  is  ( 4 x3)/2 =  6 moles  since   four  moles  of  KClO3  was  consumed
mass=relative  formula mass  x  number  of  moles
That  is   32g/mol x 6  moles  =192grams

Calculate the volume of this irregular solid to the nearest cubic centimeter​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

8 cm3

Explanation:

The volume of this irregular solid will calculated as the difference between the final volume and the initial volume;

The final volume of the water and the solid is 25 ml

The initial volume of the water alone was 17 ml

The volume of the irregular solid is thus approximately;

25 - 17 = 8 ml

We then use the conversion;

1 cm3 = 1 mL

Thus the volume of the solid is 8 cm3
