Each helix corresponds to a nucleotide chain, and the two chains are joined throughout their length by adenine-thymine or guanine-cytosine pairs. These base pairs are STACKED one above the other with their planes perpendicular to the axis of the two spirals. This places the hydrophobic base pairs inside the structure and allows the hydrophilic sugar and phosphate groups to contact water on the exterior. The whole helix will just fit inside a cylinder 2000 pm in diameter.

the double helix is hydrogen bonded through the bases only so the bases are inside the helix only

as adenine combines with thymine and guanine with cytosine

phosphate are in the exterior of it

sugar groups constitute the double helix.

The combustion of Ibuprofen C13H18O2 produces water and carbon
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

277.7 g of CO2

Explanation:

Equation of reaction

C13H18O2 + 11O2 ---> 13CO2 + 9H2O

From the equation of reaction

1 mole of ibuprofen produces 13 moles of CO2

Molar mass of ibuprofen is 206g

Molar mass of CO2 is 44g

13 moles of CO2 weighs 572g

Therefore, 100g of ibuprofen will produce (100×572)/206 of CO2

= 277.7g

Identify the family to which the compound (h3c−ch2oh) belongs. identify the family to which the compound (a) belongs. alcohol et
OLga [1]
Each of the organic compounds mentioned has a general formula so that we can identify the classification of a certain substance. The compound CH₃CH₂OH is an alcohol because it follows the general formula R-OH, where R is a hydrocarbon chain. In this case, the hydrocarbon chain is ethane. When a hydroxyl functional group is attached, it becomes an alcohol whose name is ethanol.
