Nina [5.8K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Backbone in a nucleic acids strand is made up of sugar molecules attached with phosphodiester bond.

This sugar-phosphate linkage helps in joining of nucleotides in a DNA sequence. Due to this backbone structural framework of nucleotides is formed. In DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose.  

Thus, we can conclude that the backbone in a nucleic acids strand is called sugar backbone.

Which of the following best predicts the outcome of a fission reaction involving uranium-235?
Zigmanuir [339]
The correct option is this: THE NUCLEUS OF AN ATOM U-235 SPLITS, RESULTING IN TWO SMALLER FRAGMENTS AND THE RELEASE OF A LARGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY. 
The process of nuclear fission involves the splitting of a nucleus of a radioactive element into two smaller nuclei of different elements accompany with a large release of energy. The energy released during nuclear fission is usually used to generate electricity power. <span />

What is the name of GaCI3
AfilCa [17]

Gallium trichloride is the name of GaCI3.

Explanation:

The compound having chemical formula GaCl3 is Gallium trichloride.

The rules for naming a compound  according to IUPAC is:

The net charge should always be zero in ionic compounds the prefixes are used as mono, di, tri and so on.

Metal name should come first.

Non-metal name proceed it

The anion ends with suffix 'ide'

Ga³+ + Cl- ⇔ GaCl3

In this gallium Ga is metal and Cl is non-metal with prefix 3.

In solid state the Gallium trichloride exists as a dimer which has formula as

Ga2Cl6.

It has the property of being soluble in all the solvents including alkanes.

How many molecules of malic acid (C4H6O5), an acid found in apples and other fruits, are there in 1.25 g
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

5.61 * 10²¹ molecules

Explanation:

You have 1.25 g of malic acid, C4H.Os, an acid found in apples and other fruits. How many molecules of the acid do you have?

Solution:

A molecule is the group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.

The number of molecules is calculated using the formula:

number of molecules in a substance = number of moles of substance * Avogadro constant

Avogadro constant = 6.02 * 10²³ mol⁻¹

number of moles = mass / molar mass

Given that mass = 1.25 g

molar mass of malic acid (C₄H₆O₅) = (12 * 4) + (1 * 6) + (16 * 5) = 48 + 6 + 80 = 134 g/mol

number of moles = mass / molar mass = 1.25 g / 134 g/mol = 0.0093 mol

Recall that: number of molecules in a substance = number of moles of substance * Avogadro constant

number of molecules in a substance = 0.0093 mol * 6.02 * 10²³ mol⁻¹ = 5.61 * 10²¹ molecules

4) What is the density of a metal block that has a mass of 270 grams and has a length of 5 cm, width of 3
Karolina [17]

Answer:

P=9

Explanation:

Formula: P = M/V
First, we need to find the volume. This can be done by: 5 x 3 x 2 which will give us 30

Now we can plug it in
P= 270/30

P=9!
