The genetic code A DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is composed of 4 different bases; adenine (A)‚ guanine (G)‚ cytosine (C) and thymine (T). Applying these 4 bases it may contain thousands of sequences within a single strand. Each of these bases makes a specific pairing with a corresponding base whereby the double helix structure is synthesised. This interaction is called base-paring and the complementary base pairs are; T pairs only with A and C only with G. Through this simple coding language‚ the

Experiment N | Kinetics of the Depolymerization of Diacetone Alcohol via Basic Catalysis | | Ingrid Tafur -5672578 | 2/11/2011 | CHM233O Partner: Laura Marrongelli Demonstrator: Cheryl McDowall Objective The rate constant of the depolymerization of diacetone alcohol via basic catalysis was determined by monitoring the change in volume as a function of time at constant temperature of a pseudo first order reaction where the species in excess was sodium hydroxide. This was accomplished

Aim: The aim of my experiment is to find out the rate of reaction between Hydrochloric acid (HCL) and Magnesium (Mg) in different temperatures. The products that will be formed are Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2) and Hydrogen (H2). Prediction: I predict that as the temperature increases the rate of reaction also increases. To further explore the fact I further predict that the rate of reaction will double for every 10° C rise in temperature. I further predict as the temperature rises by 10° C the rate

The electron transfer reaction between hexacyanoferrate (III) and sodium borohydride resulted in the formation of hexacyanoferrate (II) ion and dihydrogen borate ion which was strongly catalyzed by AuNPs. The redox reaction is described as BH4- + 8 [Fe (CN)6]3- + 3H2O 8 [Fe(CN)6]4- + H2 BO3- + 8H+ The advantage of hexacyanoferrate ion for this redox study is that both oxidation states of iron (+2 and +3) are quite stable with respect to dissociation and hydrolysis

Characteristics of Gases Section 10-1 The Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Matter Prerequisites The kinetic-molecular theory is based on the idea that particles of matter are always in motion. The theory can be used to explain the properties of solids‚ liquids‚ and gases in terms of the energy of particles and the forces that act between them. ideal gas: an imaginary gas that perfectly fits all the assumption of the kinetic-molecular theory. Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Gases (based on the following

Introduction Chemical Kinetics‚ described as the study of rate of chemical processes‚ varies on many factors to determine the time needed for a reaction to complete. The rate of reaction of a chemical reaction is important‚ as reactions are of little use if the time period needed for the reaction to occur is too lengthy. Many factors influence the rate of a chemical reaction‚ such as temperature‚ concentration and surface area. The order of the reaction is based on the concentration of the reactants
