It has been observed that for the DNA double helix melting,the value of ∆H (enthalpy change of denaturation) are 80 and 90 kcal/mole at 70°C and 80° C, respectively. Assuming that ∆Cp (constant pressure-heat capacity change) is independent of temperature, estimate ∆H associated with the denaturation of DNA at 37°C. This estimated value of ∆H (kcal/mole) is

PLEASE ANYBODY HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION.....
