Interpretation:
The intermolecular forces that stabilize the structure of DNA and their action is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The intermolecular forces are the forces that act between molecules, atoms or ions. They are relatively weak forces of attraction.
The intermolecular forces are of five types as hydrogen bonding, ionic bonding, ion-dipole forces, ion-induced dipole forces, van der Waals forces.
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the hereditary material in humans and almost all living organisms. Most of it is present in the cell nucleus (nuclear DNA) and some are located in the mitochondria (mitochondrial DNA). DNA has four chemical bases as adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T). The sequence of these bases provides information that is used to build and maintain organisms.

- 2) (4 pt) After the reaction was completed, the student collected the following data. Crude product data is the data collected after the reaction is finished, but before the product is purified. "Pure" product data is the data collected after attempted purification using recrystallization. Student B's data: Crude product data "Pure" product data after recrystallization Crude mass: 0.93 g grey solid Crude mp: 96-106 °C Crude % yield: Pure mass: 0.39 g white solid Pure mp: 111-113 °C Pure % yield: a) Calculate the crude and pure percent yields for the student's reaction. b) Summarize what is indicated by the crude and pure melting points.arrow_forwardDon't used hand raitingarrow_forwardDon't used hand raitingarrow_forward
