Answer:

The correct answer is d. The nucleoside triphosphates have the sugar deoxyribose; ATP has the sugar ribose.

Explanation:

The nucleoside triphosphates are components of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) so they are composed by a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, thymine or cytosine) and a deoxyribose sugar. In contraposition, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is composed by the nitrogenous base adenine and a ribose sugar along with three phosphates groups. Unlike ribose, deoxyribose is a 5-carbon sugar which lack of an oxygen atom in C2 position.

If you assume this reaction is driven to completion because of the large excess of one ion, what is the concentration of [Fe(SCN

viktelen [127]

Answer : The concentration of $[Fe(SCN)]^{2+}$ is, $4.32\times 10^{-4}M$

Explanation :

When we assume this reaction is driven to completion because of the large excess of one ion then we are assuming limiting reagent is $SCN^-$ and $Fe^{3+}$ is excess reagent.
