The sugar that occurs in nucleotides tends to be a 5 carbon sugar called ribose or deoxyribose and tends to be represented by a pentagon of 5 carbons joined to oxygen and OH to form part of the helix forming nucleic acids. The nucleotides are what constitutes the DNA and RNA which control genetic characteristics.

damaskus [11]
PH scale is used to determine how acidic or basic a solution is.
we have been given the hydrogen ion concentration. Using this we can calculate pH,
pH = - log[H⁺]
pH = - log (1 x 10⁻¹ M)
pH = 1
using pH can calculate pOH
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - 1
pOH = 13
using pOH we can calculate the hydroxide ion concentration 
pOH = - log [OH⁻] 
[OH⁻] = antilog(-pOH)
[OH⁻] = 10⁻¹³ M
hydroxide ion concentration is 10⁻¹³ M

For the following reaction, 4.64 grams of oxygen gas are mixed with excess benzene (C6H6). The reaction yields 3.95 grams of car
Reil [10]

Answer:

Theoretical yield for CO₂ is 5.10g

Explanation:

Reaction: 2C₆H₆(l) + 15O₂(g) → 12CO₂(g)  + 6H₂O(g)

We convert the mass of oxygen to moles:

4.64 g /32 g/mol = 0.145 moles of O₂

Let's find out the 100% yield reaction of CO₂ (theoretical yield)

Ratio is 15:12. So let's make this rule of three:

15 moles of O₂ can produce 12 moles of CO₂

Therefore 0.145 moles of oxygen will produce (0.145 . 12) /15 = 0.116 moles

We convert the moles to mass: 0.116 mol . 44 g / 1mol = 5.10 g
