Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Backbone in a nucleic acids strand is made up of sugar molecules attached with phosphodiester bond.

This sugar-phosphate linkage helps in joining of nucleotides in a DNA sequence. Due to this backbone structural framework of nucleotides is formed. In DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose.

Thus, we can conclude that the backbone in a nucleic acids strand is called sugar backbone.

a gas that exerts a pressure of 151 mm Hg in a container with a volume of _____ L will exert a pressure of 166 mm Hg when transf

Phoenix [80]

The answer would be using proportions 151/x=166/0.532, then you solve for x. The answer would be 0.483927711, but then you have to round it and get approximately 0.484 L. Hope this helps! Happy Studying!

Which alcohol has the strongest intermolecular force of attraction? The weakest? Explain.A. 1-PropanolB. 1-ButanolC. n-pentaneD.

Alika [10]

Explanation:

Vander waal forces are defined as the weak electric forces which tend to attract the neutral molecules towards each other in gases, liquefied and solidified gases. And, it is also present in all organic liquids and solids.

Vander wall forces are basically present in all type of molecules. More is the number of carbon atoms present in a molecule more will be the presence of Vander waal forces.

As a result, butanol will have strongest intermolecular force of attraction because it contains more number of carbon atoms and also it has more electronegative oxygen atom.

Whereas n-pentane will have the weakest intermolecular force of attraction between its atoms.

What causes a gas to exert most pressure

wariber [46]

Molecules are continuously colliding with each other and with the walls of the container. When a molecule collides with the wall, they exert small force on the wall The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the sum of all these collision forces.The more particles that hit the walls, the higher the pressure.
