Answer:

<u>2 years</u> to decay to a mass of 50g.

Explanation:

given:

100g of substance with a half life of 2 years

to a mass of 50g

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

                          ln 2             0.693

Half life T1/2 = ----------  =  -----------

                              λ                  λ

where  λ = rate constant

The initial amount of 100 grams is decaying to a mass of 50 grams is half of its initial value.

Therefore, it will take 2 years for the decay.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

0.10M HCN  <  0.10 M HClO  <  0.10 M HNO₂  < 0.10 M HNO₃

Explanation:

We are comparing acids with the same concentration. So what we have to do first is to determine if we have any strong acid and for the rest ( weak acids ) compare them by their Ka´s ( look for them in reference tables ) since we know the larger the Ka, the more Hydronium concentration will be in these solutions at the same concentration.

HNO₃ is a strong acid and will have the largest hydronium concentration.

HCN  Ka = 6.2 x 10⁻¹⁰

HNO₂ Ka = 4.0 x 10⁻⁴

HClO  Ka = 3.0 x 10⁻⁸

The ranking from smallest to largest hydronium concentration will then be:

0.10M HCN  <  0.10 M HClO  <  0.10 M HNO₂  < 0.10 M HNO₃

Which of the following would NOT diffuse through the plasma membrane by means of simple diffusion?1 oxygen2 glucose3 a steroid h
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Option 2= Glucose

Explanation:

Cell membrane is made up of two phospholipid layers and each contain phosphate head and fatty acid or lipid tails. the head is present between the outer and inner boundaries and tail is present in between. The small non- polar molecules can pass the membrane through simple diffusion. This lipid tail restrict the passage of polar molecules including water soluble substances like glucose. However, transmembranes are present that allow the molecules to inter that are blocked by the tails.

Facilitated diffusion:

it is a type of diffusion in which caries protein without using the cellular energy shuttle the molecules to the cell membrane. Glucose is bind on the carrier protein ,change the shape and transport it from one to another side of membrane. In order to absorb the glucose red blood cells use this kind of diffusion.

Primary active transport:

The cells that are present along small intestine use this type of transport to pump the glucose inside the cell. The primary active transport require energy to transport the glucose inside.

Secondary active transport:

It is another method of transport of glucose into the cell. This method can not use ATP but it is based on concentration gradient of the sodium that provide electro chemical energy for the glucose transport.
