Answer to Question #68657 in Mechanics | Relativity for DEEPENDRA SINGH

Question

the density of DNA is 1.1gram per mL and molecular weight is 6000gram per mole.what is the value of average volume covered by its single molecule?

Answer 1

d(DNA)=1.1 g/mL
M(DNA)=6000 g/mol

If we divide molecular weight of the DNA molecule by density we will get the volume of 1 mole of DNA:
V=(M(DNA))/(D(DNA))=(6000 G/MOL)/(1.1 G/ML)=5454 ML/MOL
