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).

Determine whether the reaction will be spontaneous at high temperatures only, at low temperatures only, at all temperatures, or
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The rusting of iron is spontaneous at low temperatures.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction is:

4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) ----> 2Fe2O3(s) [rust]

The rusting of iron is a chemical reaction in which iron reacts with oxygen in presence of moisture and forms iron oxide.

This reaction takes place in a faster rate when there is low temperatures in the atmosphere.

When temperature is low, the moisture in the atmosphere is more and hence, rate of rusting is more.

Arrange the compounds in order of decreasing magnitude of lattice energy:
Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is CaO > LiBr > KI.

Explanation:

Lattice energy is directly proportional to the charge and is inversely proportional to the size. The compound LiBr comprises Li+ and Br- ions, KI comprises K+ and I- ions, and CaO comprise Ca²⁺ and O²⁻ ions.  

With the increase in the charge, there will be an increase in lattice energy. In the given case, the lattice energy of CaO will be the highest due to the presence of +2 and -2 ions. K⁺ ions are larger than Li⁺ ion, and I⁻ ions are larger than Br⁻ ion.  

The distance between Li⁺ and Br⁻ ions in LiBr is less in comparison to the distance between K⁺ and I⁻ ions in KI. As a consequence, the lattice energy of LiBr is greater than KI. Therefore, CaO exhibits the largest lattice energy, while KI the smallest.

Identify the hybridization of the c atom in ch2br2.
Oliga [24]
Hello!

The hybridization of the C atom in CH₂Br₂ is sp3

When bonding, the orbitals "s" and "p" from C atoms interact to form hybridized orbitals. If the C atom has 4 sigma bonds, as is the case in CH₂Br₂, there are 4 hybridized orbitals required, so 1 "s" orbital and 3 "p" orbitals hybridize to form an sp3 hybrid orbital. This orbital has tetrahedral geometry and the bond angle is 109,5 °.

Have a nice day!
