Why is DNA called a double helix?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kirill [66]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

the double helix of dna is, like its name, implies, in the shape of a helix which is essentially a three-dimensional spiral. the double comes from the fact that the helix is made of two long strands of dna that are intertwined—sort of like a twisted ladder.

Explanation:

hope this helps :)

An empty plastic or glass dish being removed from a microwave oven can be cool to the touch, even when food on an adjoining dish
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Microwaves work by flipping water molecules upside down, then right side up again, and so on at very high speeds, and the friction generates heat. Some glass or plastic isn't affected by the microwaves, so the molecules don't get flipped, and so no friction occurs and no heat is produced, leading to the dish not being heated up.

'Heavy' hydrogen (the isotope deuterium) , 2/1H is involved ,

[2= mass number, 1= atomic (proton) number]

2/1H + 2/1H → 3/2He + 1/0n

What is the molarity of a 250ml KCl solution made by diluting 175mL of a 3.00 M solution?
Crank

Answer:

2.1 M

Explanation:

The dilution equation is M_{s} V_{s}  = M_{d} V_{d}.

M_{s} = the molarity of the sock solution

V_{s} = the volume of the sock solution

M_{d} = the molarity of the diluted solution

V_{d} = the volume of the diluted solution

The stock solution would be what is doing the diluting, so "175 mL of a 3.00 M solution". So M_{s} = 3.00 M. Then: Converting 175 mL to liters: 175 mL * \frac{1 L}{1000mL} = 0.175 L (This is V_{s})

And converting 250 mL KCl to liters: 250 mL * \frac{1 L}{1000mL} = 0.250 L (This will be V_{d})

Then, we plug in our given into the dilution equation, resulting in:

3.00 M * 0.175 L = M_{d} * 0.250 L (divide both sides by 0.250 L, in order to get M_{d} by itself)

\frac{3.00 M * 0.175 L}{0.250 L} = M_{d}

M_{d} = 2.1 M

So, the molarity of 250 mL KCl made by diluting 175 mL of a 3.0 M solution would be 2.1 M (mol/L).

Hopefully this helped you understand the topic a little bit better. I just finished molarity and dilutions in Chemistry last week. Good luck!
