Answer : A nucleotide is composed of a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base.

Explanation :

Nucleotide : It is a building block of nucleic acids or we can say that it is building block of DNA and RNA.

It is composed of three sub-unit molecules which are a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar and one phosphate group.

Nucleotide forms covalent bonds with other nucleotide for the formation of the nucleic acid strand.

Hence, a nucleotide is composed of a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base.

Standard reduction half-cell potentials at 25∘c half-reaction e∘ (v) half-reaction e∘ (v) au3 (aq) 3e−→au(s) 1.50 fe2 (aq) 2e−→f

Zanzabum

K = 5.0 × 10^25

<h2>Part (a). Calculate E° for the reaction </h2>

Step 1. Write the equations for the two half-reactions

2H^(+)(aq) + 2e^(-) → H2(g); _0.00 V

Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-) → Zn(s); -0.76 V

Step 2. Identify the cathode and the anode

The half-cell with the more negative E° (Zn) is the anode.

Step 3. Calculate E°

Zn(s) → Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-); _________+0.76 V

2H^(+)(aq) + 2e^(-) → H2(g); __________0.00 V

Zn(s) + 2H^(+)(aq) → Zn^(2+)(aq) + H2(g); +0.76 V

E° = +0.76 V

<h2>Part (b). Calculate K for the reaction </h2>

The relation between E° and K is

E° = (RT)/(nF)lnK

where

R = the universal gas constant: 8.314 J·K^(-1)mol^(-1)

T = the Kelvin temperature

n = the moles of electrons transferred

F = the Faraday constant: 96 485 J·V^(-1)mol^(-1)

Then

0.76 V = [8.314 J·K^(-1)mol^(-1) × 298.15 K]/[2 × 96 485 J·V^(-1)mol^(-1)]lnK

0.76 = 0.012 85 lnK

lnK = 0.76/0.012 85 = 59.16

K =e^59.16 = 5.0 × 10^25

How many isomers does propane have? 01 02 03 05

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

A.) 1

Explanation:

Propane only exists in one conformation. It does not have enough carbons to form branches, and there are only hydrogens attached to each carbon. Furthermore, there is no way to twist the carbon or change its orientation (ex. cis- and trans-) to result in a different structure of propane. There is no other way to represent the molecule without drawing a different molecule.

Natural gas is stored in a spherical tank at a temperature of 13°C. At a given initial time, the pressure in the tank is 117 kPa

drek231 [11]

Answer:

1. the absolute pressure in the tank before filling = 217 kPa

2. the absolute pressure in the tank after filling = 312 kPa

3. the ratio of the mass after filling M2 to that before filling M1 = 1.44

The correct relation is option c ( $\frac{M_{2} }{M_{1} } = \frac{P_{2} T_{1} }{P_{1} T_{2} }$ )
