Answer:True

Explanation:

Light year is the unit of distance and not a unit of time.

Light year is used to measure astronomical distances.

It is defined as the distance which light travels in one year.

The distance which light travels in one year is around 9.46 trillion kilometers

Thus 1 light year = $9.46\times 10^9$ km.

Thus the given statement that A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year is true.

2C2H2(g)+5O2(g)=4CO2(g)+2H2O(g)

balandron [24]

The volume of ethyne, C₂H₂ required to produce 12 moles of CO₂ assuming the reaction is at STP is 134.4 L

<h3>Balanced equation</h3>

2C₂H₂(g) + 5O₂(g) --> 4CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of CO₂ were produced by 2 moles of C₂H₂

<h3>How to determine the mole of C₂H₂ needed to produce 12 moles of CO₂</h3>

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of CO₂ were produced by 2 moles of C₂H₂

Therefore,

12 moles of CO₂ will be produce by = (12 × 2) / 4 = 6 moles of C₂H₂

<h3>How to determine the volume (in L) of C₂H₂ needed at STP</h3>

At standard temperature and pressure (STP),

1 mole of C₂H₂ = 22.4 L

Therefore,

6 moles of C₂H₂ = 6 × 22.4

6 moles of C₂H₂ = 134.4 L

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of C₂H₂ needed for the reaction at STP is 134.4 L

Exactly one mole of an ideal gas is contained in a 2.00-liter container at 1,000 K. What is the pressure exerted by this gas?

levacccp [35]

Use PV =nRT

so P = nRT/V

= 1 mole(0.08205 L atm/K mol)(1000K) / 2 L

= 41 atm

The backbone of nucleic acids consists of

V125BC [204]

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>
