Answer:

c. a phosphodiester bond between the 3' and 5' hydroxyl groups of neighboring sugars

Explanation:

Phosphodiester bond is the bond which is formed between the hydroxyl group of one nucleotide to the phosphate group of the another nucleotide. These are ester bonds. These bonds are central to all the life which is in existence on Earth. These bonds forms the backbone of the strands of the nucleic acid.

The bond is formed by the linkage of 3' carbon atom of one of the sugar unit to the 5' carbon atom of the another succeeding sugar unit.

<u>Hence, the answer is:- c. a phosphodiester bond between the 3' and 5' hydroxyl groups of neighboring sugars</u>

1. The solubility of lead(II) chloride at some high temperature is 3.1 x 10-2 M. Find the Ksp of PbCl2 at this temperature.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

1) The solubility product of the lead(II) chloride is 1.2\times 10^{-4}.

2) The solubility of the aluminium hydroxide is 1.6\times 10^{-10} M.

3)The given statement is false.

Explanation:

1)

Solubility of lead chloride = S=3.1\times 10^-2M

PbCl_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)

                            S     2S

The solubility product of the lead(II) chloride = K_{sp}

K_{sp}=[Pb^{2+}][Cl^-]^2

K_{sp}=S\times (2S)^2=4S^3=4\times (3.1\times 10^{-2})^3=1.2\times 10^{-4}

The solubility product of the lead(II) chloride is 1.2\times 10^{-4}.

2)

Concentration of aluminium nitrate = 0.000010 M

Concentration of aluminum ion =1\timed 0.000010 M=0.000010 M

Solubility of aluminium hydroxide in aluminum nitrate solution = S

Al(OH)_3(aq)\rightleftharpoons Al^{3+}(aq)+3OH^-(aq)

                            S     3S

The solubility product of the aluminium nitrate = K_{sp}=1.0\times 10^{-33}

K_{sp}=[Al^{3+}][OH^-]^3

1.0\times 10^{-33}=(0.000010+S)\times (3S)^3

S=1.6\times 10^{-10} M

The solubility of the aluminium hydroxide is 1.6\times 10^{-10} M.

3.

Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume (L)}

Mass of NaCl= 3.5 mg = 0.0035 g

1 mg = 0.001 g

Moles of NaCl = \frac{0.0035 g}{58.5 g/mol}=6.0\times 10^{-5} mol

Volume of the solution = 0.250 L

[NaCl]=\frac{6.0\times 10^{-5} mol}{0.250 L}=0.00024 M

1 mole of NaCl gives 1 mole of sodium ion and 1 mole of chloride ions.

[Cl^-]=[NaCl]=0.00024 M

Moles of lead (II) nitrate = n

Volume of the solution = 0.250 L

Molarity lead(II) nitrate = 0.12 M

n=0.12 M]\times 0.250 L=0.030 mol

1 mole of lead nitrate gives 1 mole of lead (II) ion and 2 moles of nitrate ions.

[Pb^{2+}]=[Pb(NO_2)_3]=0.030 M

PbCl_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)

Solubility of lead(II) chloride = K_{sp}=1.2\times 10^{-4}

Ionic product of the lead chloride in solution :

Q_i=[Pb^{2+}][Cl^-]^2=0.030 M\times (0.00024 M)^2=1.7\times 10^{-9}

Q_i ( no precipitation)

The given statement is false.

A certain gas at 2oC and 1.00 atm pressure fills a 4.0 container. What volume will the gas occupy at 100oC and 780 torr pressure
artcher [175]

The final volume V₂=4.962 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

T₁=20 + 273 = 293 K

P₁= 1 atm

V₁ = 4 L

T₂=100+273 = 373 K

P₂=780 torr=1,02632 atm

Required

The final volume

Solution

Combined gas law :

P₁V₁/T₁=P₂V₂/T₂

Input the value :

V₂=(P₁V₁T₂)/(P₂T₁)

V₂=(1 x 4 x 373)/(1.02632 x 293)

V₂=4.962 L
