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>

What is the pH of a solution that contains 25 grams of hydrochloric acid (hcl) dissolved in 1.5 liters of water?
Darina [25.2K]
First we calculate the concentration of HCl:

Moles = mass / Mr
= 25 / 36.5
= 0.685 mol

Concentration = 0.685/1.5 = 0.457 mol / dm³

For a strong monoprotic acid, the concentration of hydrogen ions is equal to the acid concentration.

pH = -log[H+]
pH = -log(0.457)
= 0.34

HELP. NO FAKE ANSWERS. I WILL REPORT. I AM CONFUSED AND NEED HELP. FILL IN THE NOT FILLED BOXES POR FAVOR.
SCORPION-xisa [38]
Question #1
Potasium hydroxide (known)
 volume used is 25 ml 
Molarity (concentration) = 0.150 M
Moles of KOH used 
           0.150 × 25/1000 = 0.00375 moles
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) 
volume used = 15.0 ml
unknown concentration
The equation for the reaction is
2KOH (aq)+ H2SO4(aq) = K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l) 
Thus, the Mole ratio of KOH to H2SO4 is 2:1
Therefore, moles of H2SO4 used will be;
      0.00375 × 1/2 = 0.001875 moles
Acid (sulfuric acid)  concentration
    0.001875 moles × 1000/15  
        = 0.125 M

Question #2
Hydrogen bromide (acid)
Volume used = 30 ml
Concentration is 0.250 M
Moles of HBr used;
      0.25 × 30/1000
        =  0.0075 moles 
Sodium Hydroxide (base)
Volume used 20 ml 
Concentration (unknown)
The equation for the reaction is 
NaOH + HBr = NaBr + H2O
The mole ratio of NaOH : HBr   is 1 : 1
Therefore, moles of NaOH used;
                 = 0.0075 moles
NaOH concentration will be 
       = 0.0075 moles × 1000/20
       = 0.375 M
