Answer;

2 half lives

Explanation;

-Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay to half of the original amount.

-For example; if the original mass is 100% the time it takes to decay to 50% is the half life.

-Therefore, in our case; for the element to decay from 1 whole to a half of the element, is one half life, then decaying from a half to one-fourth of the element will be another half life, which means there are two half lives for an element to decay to one-fourth of the element.

For which δg°rxn = –30.5 kj/mol at 37.0 °c and ph 7.0. calculate the value of δgrxn in a biological cell in which [atp] = 5.0 mm
mario62 [17]
We are given ΔG°rxn = -30.5 kJ/mol for the following reaction:

ATP + H₂O → ADP + HPO₄²⁻

We are given a series of concentrations for each of the species and are asked to find the value of ΔG for the reaction. We can use the following formula:

ΔGrxn = ΔG°rxn + RTlnQ

We can use R = 0.008314 kJ/molK; T = 335.15 K and Q is the reaction quotient which can be found as follows, and be sure to first convert each concentration of mM to M:

Q = [ADP][HPO₄²⁻]/[ATP]
Q= [0.00010][0.005]/[0.005]
Q = 0.0001

Now we can use the above formula to solve for ΔGrxn.

ΔGrxn = -30.5 kJ/mol + (0.008314)(310.15)ln(0.00010)
ΔGrxn = -54.3 kJ/mol

The value of ΔGrxn = -54.3 kJ/mol.

The reaction O3 + NO → O2 + NO2 has Ea = 10.7 kJ/mole and ΔH = – 199.8 kJ/mole. What is the activation energy for the following
inysia [295]

Answer:

Ea = 210.5kJ/mole

Explanation:

When the reaction:

O3 + NO → O2 + NO2

Occurs, requires 10.7kJ/mole and releases -199.8kJ/mole.

For the forward reaction:

O2 + NO2 → O3 + NO

The Ea is the sum of Ea of the forward reaction and - ΔH, that is:

Ea = Ea - (-ΔH)

Ea = 10.7kJ/mol - (-199.8kJ/mol)

Ea = 210.5kJ/mole
