The composition in mole fraction units of the strands of a double-helical DNA is [A]= 0.30 and [G] = 0.24. A) What can you say about [T] and [C] for the same strand? B) What can you say about [A], [G], [T] and [C] of the complementary strand?
Triglycerides are composed of three fatty acids bonded to a glycerol backbone. Explore the structures and properties of triglycerides. The carbon-carbon double bonds of triglycerides will react with hydrogen gas in the presence of a metal catalyst such as Pt. This process will convert the unsaturated triglycerides to saturated triglycerides. What quantity in moles of H, gas would be required to convert this triglyceride to a fully saturated triglyceride?

Under the conditions of this extractive procedure, how does aspirin become partitioned into the aqueous layer? How do we then recover this substance in a pure form from the aqueous layer? O 1) The acidic hydrogen in the carboxyl group (-COOH) of aspirin undergoes an acid-base reaction with NaOH to form the conjugate base, sodium 2-acetoxybenzoate. U 2) This ionic species then readily dissolves in water. 3) Conversely, the organic unknown does not possess an acidic residue, so no acid/base reaction can occur. 4) It therefore does dissolve in water.
The name carbohydrate comes from the fact that many simple sugars have chemical formulae that look like water has simply been added to carbon. (The suffix hydrate from the Greek word hydor ("water") means "compound formed by the addition of water.") The actual chemical structure of carbohydrates doesn't look anything like water molecules bonded to carbon atoms (see sketch at right). But it is nevertheless possible to chemically extract all the hydrogen and oxygen from many simple carbohydrates as water, leaving only carbon behind. If you search the Internet for "reaction of sulfuric acid and sugar" you will find some impressive videos of this. Suppose you had 300.g of ordinary table sugar, which chemists call sucrose, and which has the chemical formula C12H22O11 . Calculate the maximum mass of water you could theoretically extract. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.
