Base-pairing in DNA involves _____. acid-base reaction ionic bonds hydrogen bonds covalent bonds

2 answers:

6 0

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.

Consider the following equilibrium:

Ainat [17]

Answer: The equation which is wrong is $K_p=K_c(RT)^{-5}$

Explanation:

For the given reaction:

$4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)$

The expression for $K_c\text{ and }K_p$ is given by:

$K_c=\frac{1}{[O_2]^3}$

$K_p=\frac{1}{[O_2]^3}$

The concentration of solids are taken to be 1, only concentration of gases and liquid states are taken. The pressure of only gases are taken.

Relationship between $K_p\text{ and }K_c$ is given by the expression:

$K_p=K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n_g}$

where,

$\Delta n_g$ = number of moles of gaseous products - number of moles of gaseous reactants

R = gas constant

T= temperature

For the above reaction,

$\Delta n_g$ = number of moles of gaseous products - number of moles of gaseous reactants = 0 - 3 = -3

Hence, the expression for $K_p$ is:

$K_p=K_c\times (RT)^{-3}$

Therefore, the equation which is wrong is $K_p=K_c(RT)^{-5}$

How does geothermal energy differ from solar energy?

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Whereas solar energy makes use of the sun to generate energy, geothermal energy makes use of the heat that is trapped deep in the center of the earth. The magma buried deep down of our soil is as hot as the sun’s surface, and some of that heat manages to escape outward. When that happens, we can harness that said heat for energy.

When 6.0 mol Al react with 13 mol HCl, what is the limiting reactant, and how many moles of H2 can be formed? 2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl

4vir4ik [10]

Well, we need to find the ratio of Al to the other reactant.

Al:HCl = 1:3

--> this means that for every 1 Al used, you have to use 3 HCl.

6*3 = 18 moles of HCl needed to fully react with 6 moles of Al. Since 13<18, HCL is the limiting reactant.

The ratio of HCl:AlCl = 3:1

13/3 = 4.3333...

The final answer is HCl is the limiting reactant with 4.3 moles of AlCl3 able to be produced.

Hope this helps!!! :)

If a proton and an electron are released when they are 5.50×10−10 mm apart (typical atomic distances), find the initial accelera

Vlada [557]

Answer: The initial acceleration of the proton = (4.56 × 10^23) m/s2

The initial acceleration of the electron = (8.36 × 10^26) m/s2

Explanation: The force of attraction between the proton and electron can be computed using the statements of Coulomb's law which state that the force of attraction between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the square of their distances apart.

F = (Kq1q2)/(r^2) where K = (9 × (10^9) Nm(C^-2))

But q1 is the charge on a proton = (1.6 × (10^-19)) C

q2 is charge on an electron = -(1.6 × (10^-19)) C

r = (5.50 × (10^-10))mm = (5.50 × (10^-13))m

Computing all that, F = 0.0007616529 N = (7.62 × 10^-4) N

But the force of attraction is converted to that required for motion when they're released.

F = ma.

For proton, m = (1.67 × 10^-27) kg

a = F/m = 0.000762/(1.67 × 10^-27) = (4.56 × 10^23) m/s2

For electron, m = (9.11 × 10^-31) kg

a = F/m = 0.000762/(9.11 × 10^-31) = (8.36 × 10^26) m/s2

QED!
