Answer:

0.805 or 0.781 depending on the method used.

Explanation:

Data provided

half life ie t1/2= 8days.

No= 50g

t=48days

Nt=?

Method 1

Formula: Nt= No(1/2)^n

where n= number of half lives.

= t/t1/2 = 48/8

=6.

thus Nt= 50(1/2)^6= 0.781

Method 2

Formula: Nt= Noe^-(lambda)t

where lambda= decay constant

= ln2/ t1/2= ln2/ 8 = 0.086.

thus Nt= 50e^-(0.086×48)= 0.805.

Answer: a) 0.0144mol/L

b) $1.19\times 10^{-5}$

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as $K_{sp}$

The equation for the ionization of the $PbCl_2$ is given as:

We are given:

Solubility of $PbCl_2$ = $\frac{2.0g}{0.5L}=4g/L$

Molar Solubility of $PbCl_2$ = $\frac{4g/L}{278.1g/mol}=0.0144mol/L$

1 mole of $PbCl_2$ gives 1 mole of $Pb^{2+}$ and 2 moles of $Cl^-$ ions

Solubility product of $PbCl_2$ = $[Pb^{2+}][Cl^-]^2$

$K_{sp}=[0.0144][2\times 0.0144]^2$

$K_{sp}=1.19\times 10^{-5}$

Thus the solubility product constant is $1.19\times 10^{-5}$

What process allows a peptide bond to from?

worty [1.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

The bond that holds together the two amino acids is a peptide bond, or a covalent chemical bond between two compounds (in this case, two amino acids). It occurs when the carboxylic group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, linking the two molecules and releasing a water molecule.
