Describe how nucleic acid basis pair up

1 answer:

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.

How many grams of gas must be released from a 32.0 L sample of CO2(g) at STP to reduce the volume to 16.6 L at STP?

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

30.3 g

Explanation:

At STP, 1 mol of any gas will occupy 22.4 L.

With the information above in mind, we calculate how many moles are there in 32.0 L:

32.0 L ÷ 22.4 L/mol = 1.43 mol

Then we calculate how many moles would there be in 16.6 L:

16.6 L ÷ 22.4 L/mol = 0.741 mol

The difference in moles is:

1.43 mol - 0.741 mol = 0.689 mol

Finally we convert 0.689 moles of CO₂ into grams, using its molar mass:

0.689 mol * 44 g/mol = 30.3 g
