Decay constant of the process 1×10^(-12) day^(-1).

<h3>What is decay constant?</h3>

A radioactive nuclide's probability of decay per unit time is known as its decay constant, which is expressed in units of s1 or a1. As a result, as shown by the equation dP/P dt =, the number of parent nuclides P declines with time t. Nuclear forces are about 1,000,000 times more powerful than electrical and molecular forces in their ability to bind protons and neutrons. The strength of the bonds holding the radioactive element are likewise indifferent to the decay probabilities and's, in addition to being unaffected by temperature and pressure. The decay constant is related to the nuclide's T 1/2 half-life by T 1/2 = ln 2/.

**Plz help with this asap who ever replies first with the right answer will get brainlists

Vesna [10]

Answer:first D. 88L

Second A 2*10^24

Explanation:

At stp 1 mole = 22.4L

mw Cl2= 70.9

280 g =280/70.9 moles, about 4

4*22.4 = about 88

aw Sr 87.6 —> 6.02214076*10^23 atoms = 1 mole

What causes some aqueous solutions to have a low PH?

noname [10]

Low pH means the solution is acidic; if the solution is acidic, that means that there are hydronium ions in solution (H3O+). For example, hydrochloric acid dissolves into H+ ions and Cl- ions, and the H+ ions rreact with water like this:
H+ + H2O --> H3O+

If you want to get mathematical, pH is defined as the negative log of the concentration of hydronium ions.
Thus, if there are a lot of hydronium ions, the solution will have a low, or acidic, pH. Hope this helps^-^

The chemical formula of ordinary sugar is C12H22O11. Calculate the mass of 7.35 mol of sugar.

ch4aika [34]

First, you need to find the mass of 1 mol of sugar. Mass, or molar mass, can simply be found by adding the masses of the individual elements. These are given to you on the periodic table.

$C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$

12 x 12.011 grams (molar mass of Carbon) = 144.132 g

22 x 1.008 grams (molar mass of Hydrogen) = 22.176 g

11 x 15.999 grams (molar mass of Oxygen) = 175.989 g

Add all of the pieces together.

144.132 g + 22.176 g + 175.989 g = 342.297 grams

So, if one mole has 342.297 grams, then 7.35 of that amount will be your answer.

342.297 g/mol x 7.35 mol = 2,515.88 grams

Why are digestive enzymes in a cell enclosed in a membrane

erastova [34]

The membrane keeps the digestive materials from leaking out into the cytoplasm and destroying the cell.
