<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>
Answer:
Chemical energy
Explanation:
An atom is the basic unit of a chemical element.
A chemical bond held together with atoms, ions, or molecules that leads to the formation of chemical compounds. A chemical bond may be covalent, polar covalent, or ionic. Among these chemical bonds, an ionic bond is the strongest chemical bond.
Chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds between atoms.
When a substance absorbs thermal energy, it partitions some as potential and some as kinetic energy. Specific heat is an expression related to the quantity of heat a substance stores as potential energy; the remainder is absorbed as kinetic which causes the temperature to increase - recall that temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy.
When specific heat is low, most of the energy is partitioned as kinetic energy and the substance will experience the greatest temperature change.
So rather than calculating the change in temperature, we can simply inspect the specific heats. The one with the lowest will experience the greatest temperature change. We could also compare the specific heats: Al = .897/.385 ==> 2.3, Fe = .452/.385 = 1.2, Cu = .385/.385 = 1. We can expect Copper's temperature change to be 2.3 times larger than Aluminum's and 1.2 times larger than Iron's.
