Chapter 27.9, Problem 12P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of nucleosomes present in a gene with 10,000 base pairs is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The species formed by the conjunction of a section of DNA and histone proteins is called a nucleosome.

Each nucleosome contains 146 base pairs and each nucleosome is separated by a linker of about 50 base pairs of DNA. Thus, there are a total of 196 base pairs per nucleosome.

Every chemist knows to ‘add acid to water with constant stirring’ when diluting a concentrated acid in order to keep the solution from spewing boiling acid all over the place.  Explain how this one fact is enough to prove that strong acids and water do not form ideal solutions.
The predominant components of our atmosphere are N₂, O₂, and Ar in the following mole fractions: χN2 = 0.780, χO2 = 0.21, χAr = 0.01. Assuming that these molecules act as ideal gases, calculate ΔGmix, ΔSmix, and ΔHmix when the total pressure is 1 bar and the temperature is 300 K.
dG = Vdp - SdT + μA dnA + μB dnB + ... so that under constant pressure and temperature conditions, the chemical potential of a component is the rate of change of the Gibbs energy of the system with respect to changing composition, μJ = (∂G / ∂nJ)p,T,n' Using first principles prove that under conditions of constant volume and temperature, the chemical potential is a measure of the partial molar Helmholtz energy (μJ = (∂A / ∂nJ)V,T,n')
