The first-order decay of radon has a half-life of 3.823 days. How many grams of radon decomposes after 5.55 days if the sample i
1 answer:
Answer:
The mass of radon that decompose = 63. 4 g
Explanation:
R.R = P.E/(2ᵇ/ⁿ)
Where R.R = radioactive remain, P.E = parent element, b = Time, n = half life.
Where P.E = 100 g , b = 5.55 days, n = 3.823 days.
∴ R.R = 100/
R.R = 100/
R.R = 100/2.73
R.R = 36.63 g.
The mass of radon that decompose = Initial mass of radon - Remaining mass of radon after radioactivity.
Mass of radon that decompose = 100 - 36.63
= 63.37 ≈ 63.4 g
The mass of radon that decompose = 63. 4 g

Answer:
Hydride ion
Explanation:
You often see the reduction with NADH written as
NADH ⟶ NAD⁺ + H⁺ + 2e⁻
If you think about it, H⁺ + 2e⁻ is equivalent to H:⁻, so we could write the reaction as
NADH ⟶ NAD⁺ + H:⁻
In terms of a mechanism, the dihydropyridine ring of NADH transfers a hydrogen atom with its pair of electrons (a hydride ion) to the substrate and becomes the more stable, aromatic pyridinium ion in NAD⁺.
