How is a strand of DNA like a sentence?

Chemistry

Answer:

DNA molecules are composed of four nucleotides, and these nucleotides are linked together much like the words in a sentence. Together, all of the DNA "sentences" within a cell contain the instructions for building the proteins and other molecules that the cell needs to carry out its daily work.

Explanation:

A strand of DNA is much like an extremely long sentence that uses only four letters. DNA actually has two strands, much like a zipper and the nucleotides are like the teeth of that zipper. This two-strand system is the key to how DNA is able to make copies of itself.

One method for determining the amount of corn in early Native American diets is the stable isotope ratio analysis (SIRA) techniq

frozen [14]

Answer:

a. i. 8.447 × 10⁻³ T ii. 27.14 cm

b. i. 2.14 cm ii. It is easily detectable.

Explanation:

i. What strength of magnetic field is required?

Since the magnetic force F = Bqv equals the centripetal force F' = mv²/r on the C12 charge, we have

F = F'

Bqv = mv²/r

B = mv/re where B = strength of magnetic field, m = mass of C12 isotope = 1.99 × 10⁻²⁶ kg, v = speed of C 12 isotope = 8.50 km/s = 8.50 × 10³ m/s, q = charge on C 12 isotope = e = electron charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C (since the isotope loses one electron)and r = radius of semicircle = 25.0 cm/2 = 12.5 cm = 12.5 × 10⁻² m

So,

B = mv/rq

B = 1.99 × 10⁻²⁶ kg × 8.50 × 10³ m/s ÷ (12.5 × 10⁻² m × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)

B = 16.915 × 10⁻²³ kgm/s ÷ (20.025 × 10⁻²¹ mC)

B = 0.8447 × 10⁻² kg/sC)

B = 8.447 × 10⁻³ T

(ii) What is the diameter of the 13C semicircle?

Since the magnetic force F = Bq'v equals the centripetal force F' = mv²/r' on the C13 charge, we have

F = F'

Bq'v = mv²/r'

r' = mv/Be where r = radius of semicircle, B = strength of magnetic field = 8.447 × 10⁻³ T, m = mass of C12 isotope = 2.16 × 10⁻²⁶ kg, v = speed of C 12 isotope = 8.50 km/s = 8.50 × 10³ m/s, q' = charge on C 13 isotope = e = electron charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C (since the isotope loses one electron) and = d/2 = 12.5 cm = 12.5 × 10⁻² m

So, r' = mv/Be

r' = 2.16 × 10⁻²⁶ kg × 8.50 × 10³ m/s ÷ (8.447 × 10⁻³ T × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)

r' = 18.36 × 10⁻²³ kgm/s ÷ 13.5321 × 10⁻²² TC)

r' = 1.357 × 10⁻¹ kgm/TC)

r' = 0.1357 m

r' = 13.57 cm

Since diameter d' = 2r', d' = 2(13.57 cm) = 27.14 cm

i. What is the separation of the C12 and C13 ions at the detector at the end of the semicircle?

Since the diameter of the C12 isotope is 25.0 cm and that of the C 13 isotope is 27.14 cm, their separation at the end of the semicircle is 27.14 cm - 25.0 cm = 2.14 cm

ii. Is this distance large enough to be easily observed?

This distance of 2.14 cm easily detectable since it is in the centimeter range.

What is the average kinetic energy and rms speed of N₂ molecules at STP? Compare these values with those of H₂ molecules at STP.

Otrada [13]

The average kinetic energy and rms speed of N₂ molecules at STP is $5.65686 \times 10^{-21}$ and $493 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

Given,

$\begin{aligned}&\mathrm{P}=1.013 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa} \\&\mathrm{~T}=273.15 \mathrm{~K} \\&\rho=1.25 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\end{aligned}$

The average kinetic energy of a molecule is given by, $K . E .=\frac{3}{2} k T$ where k is the Boltzmann constant and Tis the absolute temperature of the gas.

$K . E .=\frac{3}{2} \times $1.380649 \times 10^{-23}$ \times 273.15 K$

$K.E=$5.65686 \times10^{-21}$$

The rms speed of $\mathrm{N}_{2}$ molecules is given by

$\begin{aligned}&\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{M}}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{P}}{\rho}} \\&\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{P}}{\rho}} \\&\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \times 1.013 \times 10^{5}}{1.25}}=493 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}$

The average kinetic energy of a gas's particles is inversely related to its temperature. As the gas warms, the particles must travel more quickly since their mass is constant.

The average kinetic energy (K) is equal to one half of the mass (m) of each gas molecule times the RMS speed (vrms) squared.

What is the pressure of a gas that began at 38 torr, and 500L and is changed to occupy a volume of 677 L?

qwelly [4]

Answer:

P₂ = 28.5 torr

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial pressure = 38 torr

Initial volume = 500 L

Final volume = 677 L

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

Now we will put the vales in formula.

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₂ = P₁V₁ /V₂

P₂ = 38 torr × 500 L / 667 L

P₂ = 19000 torr. L / 667 L

P₂ = 28.5 torr
