B. The answer is: All nucleotides have a phosphorus atom that can be replaced with 32P.

Nucleotides contain a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and, at least, one phosphate group. Exactly that phosphate group in the nucleotide has the phosphorus atom. Therefore, the phosphorus atom in the nucleotide can be replaced with radioactive phosphorus-32 (32P).

Convert 6.93 x 1024 atoms of carbon to moles of carbon.
Aleksandr [31]

Answer: 11.5 moles of carbon

Explanation:

Based on Avogadro's law:

1 mole of any substance has 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

So, 1 mole of carbon = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

Z moles = 6.93 x 10^24 atoms

To get the value of Z, cross multiply:

(6.93 x 10^24 atoms x 1mole) = (6.02 x 10^23 atoms x Z moles)

6.93 x 10^24 = (6.02 x 10^23 x Z)

Z = (6.93 x 10^24) ➗ (6.02 x 10^23)

Z = 1.15 x 10

Z = 11.5 moles

Thus, there are 11.5 moles of carbon.
