Amolecule of dna (deoxyribonucleic acid) is 2.23 µm long. the ends of the molecule become singly ionized: negative on one end, positive on the other. the helical molecule acts like a spring and compresses 1.13% upon becoming charged. determine the effective spring constant of the molecule.

Which actions would increase the rate at salt dissolves in water? stir the water? crush the salt? use less water? heat the water? cool the salt

Pegmatites are igneous rocks in which the individual minerals are very large. typically, the minerals are all light-colored quartz, feldspar and muscovite. if you were given a black and white photograph of a pegmatite in a quarry (where the rock has been blasted and broken), what physical properties could you use to identify those three minerals in this hypothetical photo? describe each mineral and the specific diagnostic properties. be specific.

The activation energy for the reaction no2(g)+co2(g)⟶no(g)+co(g) is ea = 300 kj/mol and the change in enthalpy for the reaction is δh = -100 kj/mol . what is the activation energy for the reverse reaction?
