Answer:

2 unpaired electrons

Explanation:

Carbon's bonding state electron configuration is 1s2 2s1 2s1 2p1 2p1. So, there are 4 unpaired electrons in the orbitals of carbon in bonding state.

After 11.5 days, 12.5% of a sample of radon-222 that originally weighed 42g remains. What is the half-life of this isotope?

Bond [772]

Half-life is defined as the amount of time it takes a given quantity to decrease to half of its initial value. The equation to describe the decay is
Nt=N0(1/2) $^{t/t(1/2)}$ where N0 is the initial quantity, Nt is the remaining quantity after time t, t1/2 is the half-time. So work out the equation, t1/2 = t (-ln2)/ln(Nt/N0) = 11.5*(-ln2)/ln(12.5/100) = 3.83 days

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Calculate the solubility of each of the following compounds in moles per liter. Ignore any acid-base properties.

CaCO₃, Ksp = 8.7 × 10⁻⁹

Answer : The solubility of CaCO₃ is, $9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

Explanation :

As we know that CaCO₃ dissociates to give $Ca^{2+}$ ion and $CO_3^{2-}$ ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

$CaCO_3\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+CO_3^{2-}$

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

$K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}]$

Let solubility of CaCO₃ be, 's'

$K_{sp}=(s)\times (s)$

$K_{sp}=s^2$

$8.7\times 10^{-9}=s^2$

$s=9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

Therefore, the solubility of CaCO₃ is, $9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The correct option is b. an amino-terminal signal

Explanation:

A polypeptide that will eventually fold to become an ion channel protein, it means a kind of integral membrane protein, has an amino terminal signal that indicates its delivery to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and then to the membrane. This type of signal usually consist in a nucleus of 6 to 12 aminoacids and one or more basic aminoacids. Once the polypeptide enters the ER, this signal is removed.
