-Dominant- [34]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The energy released in the decay process = 18.63 keV

Explanation:

To solve this question, we have to calculate the binding energy of each isotope and then take the difference.

The mass of Tritium = 3.016049 amu.

So,the binding energy of Tritium =  3.016049 *931.494 MeV

= 2809.43155 MeV.

The mass of Helium 3 = 3.016029 amu.

So, the binding energy of Helium 3 = 3.016029 * 931.494 MeV

= 2809.41292 MeV.

The difference between the binding energy of Tritium and the binding energy of Helium is: 32809.43155 - 2809.412 = 0.01863 MeV

1 MeV = 1000keV.

Thus, 0.01863 MeV = 0.01863*1000keV = 18.63 keV.

So, the energy released in the decay process = 18.63 keV.

In order to promote the common ion effect, the concentration of the common ion must first:_____.
Svet_ta [14]

We need to increase the concentration of common ion first, in order to promote the common ion effect

<h3>What is the Common ion effect?</h3>

It is an effect that suppresses the dissociation of salt due to the addition of another salt having common ions.

For example, a saturated solution of silver chloride in equilibrium has Ag⁺ and Cl⁻ . Sodium Chloride is added to the solution and has a common ion Cl⁻. As a result, the equilibrium shifts to the left to form more silver chloride. Thus, solubility of AgCl decreases.

The Equilibrium law states that if a process is in equilibrium and is subjected to a change

  • in temperature,
  • pressure,
  • the concentration of reactant or product,

then the equilibrium shifts in a particular direction, according to the condition.

Thus, an increase in the concentration of common ion promotes the common ion effect.

Salivary amylase is an enzyme produced by the salivary glands that breaks down carbohydrates. What will happen to this enzyme as
o-na [289]

Answer:

It will be denatured.

Explanation:

Salivary amylase works best at pH 6.8.

At pH 2.5, its activity will decrease enormously as it becomes denatured by the high acidity of the stomach contents.

Water vapor is not usually seen.
xeze [42]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Water vapor is totally invisible.

Without it, there would be no clouds or rain or snow, since all of these require water vapor in order to form. All of the water vapor that evaporates from the surface of the Earth eventually returns as precipitation - rain or snow.

Using the chemical equation below, how many moles of Al2O3 produce when 105 grams of Al are reacted? 2Al+Fe2O3 —&gt; Al2O3+2Fe
topjm [15]

Answer:

1.94

Explanation:

moles = mass/Mr so you have 3.889 moles of aluminium, but because the ratio in the equation is 2:1 you need to halve it.
