The rate of a reaction is proportional to the surface area of a catalyst. Given the volume (V) of a sphere, we can find its surface area (A) using the following expression.

$A=\pi ^{1/3} (6V)^{2/3}$

The area of the 10.0 cm³-sphere is:

$A=\pi ^{1/3} (6.10.0)^{2/3}=22.4cm^{2}$

The area of each 1.25 cm³-sphere is:

$A=\pi ^{1/3} (6. 1.25)^{2/3}=5.61cm^{2}$

The total area of the 8 1.25cm³-spheres is 8 × 5.61 cm² = 44.9 cm²

The ratio of 8 1.25cm³-sphere to 10.0 cm³-sphere is 44.9 cm²/22.4 cm² = 2.00

Since the surface area is doubled, the second run will be faster.

What is the role of NaCl and EDTA in DNA isolation?

alexandr402 [8]

<span>The following is the role of NaCl and EDTA in DNA isolation, hope it helps:

NaCl provides Na+ ions that will block negative charge from phosphates on DNA. Negatively charged phosphates on DNA cause molecules to repel each other. The Na+ ions will form an ionic bond with the negatively charged phosphates on the DNA, neutralizing the negative charges and allowing the DNA molecules to come together.</span>
