Chapter 23, Problem 23.133SP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The percentage of T and C in a sea urchin DNA must be found outif it contains
Concept introduction:
- According to the Watson - Crick Model, DNA consists of two polynucleotide strands. They are always in opposite direction,
- Two strands are held to each other by hydrogen bonding between a pair of bases.
- The bases include Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G).
- The strands are complementary to each other. They pair up as A-T and G-C base pairs.
- According to base pair rule, the percentage in each complementary base pair is almost equal.
Given:
The percentage of A and G in sea urchin DNA is given.

An open vessel containing water stands in a laboratory measuring 5.0 m x 5.0 m x 3.0 m at 25 °C ; the vapor pressure (vp) of water at this temperature is 3.2 kPa. When the system has come to equilibrium, what mass of water will be found in the air if there is no ventilation? Repeat the calculation for open vessels containing benzene (vp = 13.1 kPa) and mercury (vp = 0.23 Pa)
