Answer»

Solution :According to KOHLRAUSCH's law, `wedge^(@)` for `CH_(3)COOH=lamda_(CH_(3)COO^(-))^(@)+lamda_(H^(+))^(@)`
`wedge^(@)` for NaCl=`lamda_(Na^(+))^(@)+lamda_(Cl^(-))^(@)=126.4" S "cm^(2)mol^(-1)`. . . (i)
`wedge^(@)` for `HCl=lamda_(H^(+))^(@)+lamda_(Cl^(-))^(@)=425.9" S "cm^(2)mol^(-1)`. . . (ii)
`wedge^(@)` for `CH_(3)COONa=lamda_(CH_(3)COO^(-))^(@)+lamda_(Na^(+))^(@)=91.0" S "cm^(2)mol^(-1)`. . . (III)
ADDING eqns. (ii) and (iii) and subtracting (i), we get
`lamda_(H^(+))^(@)+lamda_(Cl^(-))^(@)+lamda_(CH_(3)COO^(-))^(@)-lamda_(Na^(+))^(@)-lamda_(Na^(+))^(@)-lamda_(Cl^(-))^(@)=425.9+91.0-126.4" S "cm^(2)mol^(-1)`
or `lamda_(CH_(3)COO^(-))^(@)+lamda_(H^(+))^(@)=390.5" S "cm^(2)mol^(-1)` i.e., `wedge^(@)` for `CH_(3)COOH=390.5" S "cm^(2)mol^(-1)`.

In E.Coli DNA, the AT/GC ratio is 0-93. If the number of moles of adenine in the DNA sample is 465,000, calculate the number of moles of guanine present.

Answer»

Solution :Since the number of MOLES of adenine MUST be equal to that of thymine, therefore ,
`(A+T)=465,000+465,000=930,000`.
Since `(A+T)//(C+G)=0.93`,
therefore, number of moles of `C+G=(930,000)/(0.93)=10,00,000`
Further since the number of moles of C=number of MOLECULE of G.
`therefore` No. of moles of GUANINE (G)`=1000,000//2=500,000`.
