Answer:

Yes, they are isotopes.

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number Z and a different mass number (A). That is, they differ in the number of neutrons (eg carbon 12, has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 6 neutrons, carbon 13, 7 neutrons, and carbon 14 8 neutrons).

Identify and label the Brønsted-Lowry acid, its conjugate base, the Brønsted-Lowry base, and its conjugate acid in each of the f

julia-pushkina [17]

Explanation:

As per Brønsted-Lowry concept of acids and bases, chemical species which donate proton are called Brønsted-Lowry acids.

The chemical species which accept proton are called Brønsted-Lowry base.

(a) $HNO_3 + H_2O \rightarrow H_3O^+ + NO_3^-$

$HNO_3$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $NO_3^-$ is its conjugate base.

$H_2O$ is Bronsted lowry base and $H_3O^+$ is its conjugate acid.

(b)

$CN^- + H_2O \rightarrow HCN + OH^-$

$CN^-$ is Bronsted lowry base and HCN is its conjugate acid.

$H_2O$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $OH^-$ is its conjugate base.

(c)

$H_2SO_4 + Cl^- \rightarrow HCl + HSO_4^-$

$H_2SO_4$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $HSO_4^-$ is its conjugate base.

Cl^- is Bronsted lowry base and HCl is its conjugate acid.

(d)

$HSO_4^-+OH^- \rightarrow SO_4^{2-}+H_2O$

$HSO_4^-$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $SO_4^{2-}$ is its conjugate base.

OH^- is Bronsted lowry base and $H_2O$ is its conjugate acid.

(e)

$O_{2-}+H_2O \rightarrow 2OH^-$

$O_{2-}$ is Bronsted lowry base and OH- is its conjugate acid.

$H_2O$ is Bronsted lowry acid and OH- is its conjugate base.

Explain the composition of dna nucleotides and the structure of the dna molecule need help

Kaylis [27]

A nucleotide is composed of a phosphate group, sugar, and nitrogen base. DNA is made of 2 strands of nucleotides linked together by covalent bonds between the phosphate and sugar of each nucleotide. The strands of nucleotides are linked together by hydrogen bonds creating DNA. Hope this helps and sorry if I made a mistake.

Four springs are stretched to the same distance from the equilibrium position. The spring constants are listed in the table. A 2

svp [43]

Answer:

The correct option is;

X, W, Y, Z

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Spring (S), Spring Constant (N/m)

W, 24

X, 35

Y, 22

Z, 15

The equation for elastic potential energy, $E_e$ , is $E_e = 0.5 \times k \times x^2$

The above equation can also be written as $E_e =\dfrac{1}{2} \times k \times x^2$

Where:

k = The spring constant in (N/m)

x = The spring extension

Therefore, since the elastic potential energy, $E_e$ , of the spring is directly proportional to the spring constant, k, we have the springs with higher spring constant will have higher elastic potential energy, $E_e$ , therefore the correct order is as follows;

X > W > Y > Z
