The balanced nuclear equations for the following:(b) Formation of polonium-218 through α decay is (210,83)Bi -> (4,2)alpha + (210,81)Po

<h3>What is balanced nuclear equation?</h3>

A nuclear reaction is generally expressed by a nuclear equation, which has the general form, where T is the target nucleus, B is the bombarding particle, R is the residual product nucleus, and E is the ejected particle, and Ai and Zi (where I = 1, 2, 3, 4) are the mass number and atomic number, respectively. Finding a well balanced equation is critical for understanding nuclear reactions. Balanced nuclear equations provide excellent information about the energy released in nuclear reactions. Balancing the nuclear equation requires equating the total atomic number as well as the total mass number before and after the reaction using the rules of atomic number and mass number conservation in a nuclear reaction.

_____________________________________________|____________

[ES] is much       |                                 | Almost all active

 lower than         |                                 | sites are filled

[E_{free}]                  |                                 |

Explanation:

Generally the combined enzyme[ES] is mathematically represented as

                   [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M + [S]}----(1)

for Michaelis-Menten equation

Where [S] is the substrate concentration and K_M is the Michaelis constant

Considering the statement [S] < < K_M

  Looking at the equation [S] is denominator so it can be ignored(it is far too small compared to K_M)  hence the above equation becomes

               [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M}

Since [S] is less than K_M it means that \frac{[S]}{K_M}  < < 1

so it means that [ES] < < [E_{total}]

  What this means is that the  number of combined enzymes[ES] i.e the number of occupied site is very small compared to the the total sites [E_{total}]  i.e the total enzymes concentration which means that the free sites [E_{free}]  i.e the concentration of free enzymes is almost equal to [E_{total}]

Considering the second statement

      [S] = K_M

So  this means that equation one would now become

           [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{2[S]} = \frac{[E_{total}]}{2}

So this means that half of the active sites that is the total enzyme concentration are filled with S

Considering the Third Statement

      [S] >>K_M

In this case the K_M in the denominator of equation 1 would be neglected and the equation becomes

       [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}] [S]}{[S]} = [E_{total}]

This means that almost all the sites are occupied with substrate

 The rate of this reaction is mathematically defined as

             v =\frac{V_{max}[S]}{K_M [S]}

Where v is the rate of the reaction(also know as the velocity of the reaction at a given time t) and V_{max}  is he maximum velocity of the reaction

In this case also the K_M at the denominator would be neglected as a result of the statement hence the equation becomes

                v = \frac{V_{max}[S]}{[S]} = V_{max}

So it means that the reaction does not depend on the concentration of substrate [S]

For the final statement(Not True ) it would match with condition that states that increasing [E_{total}] will lower K_M

This is because K_M does not depend on enzyme concentration it is a property of a enzyme

T/F___ At the eutectic composition, an alloy can solidify at a constant temperature.___ For effective dispersion strengthening,
azamat

Answer:

  • TRUE
  • FALSE
  • TRUE
  • FALSE
  • FALSE
  • TRUE

Explanation:

  • At the eutectic composition, an alloy can solidify at a constant temperature : TRUE . this is because at eutectic composition the type of reaction that takes place there is invariant reaction in its thermal equilibrium
  • For effective dispersion strengthening, the dispersed phase should be needle-like, as opposed to round : FALSE. because the rounded shape will not cause a crack.
  • Intermetallic compounds are usually hard and brittle : TRUE. because Intermetallic compounds prevents dislocation movements and this makes them brittle and hard
  • For the effective dispersion and strengthening, the dispersed phase should be continuous : FALSE. this is because the dispersed precipitate must be small and not continuous
  • Stoichiometric intermetallic compounds exist over a range of compositions : FALSE
  • Faster solidification results in smaller interlamellar spacing : TRUE
