4 0

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>

A flask is filled with 50.0 ml of 0.15 M HCl acid. Exactly 0.054 grams of CaCo3 are placed in the acid,
ira [324]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

2HCl(aq) + CaCO3(aq) ------->CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Number of moles of acid present = 50/1000 * 0.15 = 0.0075 moles

Number of moles of calcium carbonate = 0.054g/100 g/mol = 0.00054 moles

2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of calcium carbonate

x moles of HCl reacts with 0.00054 moles of calcium carbonate

x = 2 *  0.00054/1

x = 0.00108 moles of HCl

Amount of acid left = 0.0075 moles - 0.0075 moles = 0.00642 moles

Reaction of HCl and NaOH

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) ------> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Since the reaction is in the mole ratio of 1:1

0.00642 moles of HCl is neutralized by 0.00642 moles of NaOH

What is the product of reduction of ethyl 4-oxobutanoate with sodium borohydride in ethanol at room temperature for 30 minutes?
zheka24 [161]

The product of reduction of ethyl 4-oxobutanoate with sodium borohydride in ethanol at room temperature for 30 minutes is ethyl 4- hydroxybutanoate .

Sodium borohydride is a relatively selective reducing agent  Ethanolic solutions of Sodium borohydride reduces aldehyde , and ketone , in the presence of acid chloride , ester , epoxide , lactones , acids , nitriles , nitro groups.

The sodium borohydride does not reduce ester group because sodium borohydride is not strong enough and the electrophilicity at carbony carbon of ester is not more as compare toaldehyde , and ketone

The product of reduction of ethyl 4-oxobutanoate with sodium borohydride in ethanol at room temperature for 30 minutes is ethyl 4- hydroxybutanoate .

A
Artemon [7]

Answer:

9.8ms^{-2}

Explanation:

using the equation :

acceleration = \frac{final  velocity - initial velocity}{timetaken} \\                      a  =\frac{v-u}{t}

where v is 98m/s

u is 0m/s

t is 10seconds

a=\frac{98m/s- 0m/s}{10} \\a=\frac{98}{10}\\ a=9.8m/s^{2}
