The answer is hydrogen bonds.

In the DNA double helix structure nitrogen atoms are chemically bonded to hydrogen atoms. Given that nitgrogen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen atoms, hydrogen atoms in a base-pairing will bear a partial positive charge.

That partial positive charge is atracted to the oxygen atoms (which are also more electronegative than hydrogen atoms) in the same base pairing in DNA.

That atraction constitutes the hydrogen bond.

Ethanol (c2h5oh) melts at -114°c. the enthalpy of fusion is 5.02 kj/mol. the specific heats of solid and liquid ethanol are 0.9
maria [59]
You'll want to add three amounts of heat. 

(1) Specific heat of lowering the temperature from -135°C to the melting point -114°C
(2) Latent heat of fusion/melting
(3) Specific heat of elevating the temperature from -114°C to -50°C

(1) E = mCΔT = (25 g)(0.97 J/g·°C)(1 kJ/1000 J)(-114 - -135) = 0.509 kJ
(2) E = mΔH = (25 g)(5.02 kJ/mol)(1 mol/46.07 g ethanol) = 2.724 kJ
(3) E = mCΔT = (25 g)(2.3 J/g·°C)(1 kJ/1000 J)(-50 - -114) = 3.68 kJ

<em>Summing up all energies, the answer is 6.913 kJ.</em>

How many copper atoms are in 70g of copper
Elanso [62]

Answer:

n = 6.634\times 10^{23}\,atoms

Explanation:

The total amount of atoms is found by multiplying Avogradro's Number and the number of moles:

n = \left(6.022\times 10^{23}\,\frac{atoms}{mol} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{70\,g}{63.546\,\frac{g}{mol} } \right)

n = 6.634\times 10^{23}\,atoms
