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.

112 g of aluminum carbide react with 174 g water to produce methane and aluminum hydroxide in the reaction shown below.

dolphi86 [110]

<u>Answer:</u> 4.999 moles of excess reactant will be left over.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of aluminium carbide = 112 g

Molar mass of aluminium carbide = 143.96 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

$\text{Moles of aluminium carbide}=\frac{112g}{143.96g/mol}=0.778mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Al_4C_3(s)+12H_2O(l)\rightarrow 3CH_4(g)+4Al(OH)_3(s)$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium carbide reacts with 12 moles of water

So, 0.778 moles of aluminium carbide will react with = $\frac{12}{2}\times 0.778=4.668 mol$ of water

Given mass of water = 174 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{174g}{18g/mol}=9.667mol$

Moles of excess reactant (water) left = 9.667 - 4.668 = 4.999 moles

Hence, 4.999 moles of excess reactant will be left over.

Which formula is an empirical formula? (1) CH4 (2) C2 H6 (3) C3 H6 (4) C4 H10

rosijanka [135]

CH4 is an emprirical formula as it shows the simplest ratio of the numbers of different atoms present in the molecule. The empirical formula for CH4 is also the same as the molecular formula.
The other compunds can be simplified so they are not the empirical formula of compounds.
Hope this helps :).

The volume occupied by a gas at STP is 250 L. At what pressure (in atm) will the gas occupy 1500 L, if the temperature is consta

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

6 atm

Explanation:

Using the formula P1V1=P2V2

P1= Initial Pressure

V1= Initial Volume

P2= Final Pressure

V2= Final Volume

And knowing that at stp gas will always be at 1 atm

250L(P2) = 1500

P2= 6 atm

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

You manage to find a bottle of bromothymol blue and a few extra beakers. You take one of the empty beakers and add some of the first unlabeled solution and some indicator.

The color changes to yellow.

You then add some solution from the other unlabeled flask into this beaker and see the color change to blue.

What are the identities of each unlabeled solution?

Explanation:

Bromothymol blue is a dye and it is used as an indicator.

It is used as a pH indicator.

In acids, it becomes yellow n in color.

In bases, it turns blue.

You take one of the empty beakers and add some of the first unlabeled solution and some indicator. The color changes to yellow.

That means the unlabeled solution is an acid.

You then add some solution from the other unlabeled flask into this beaker and see the color change to blue.

It is a basic solution.
