Oxygen is the element with electronic configuration of 16
Answer:
The correct answer is - alpha particle and positron.
Explanation:
In this question, it is given that, 38^88Sr decays to 34^84Kr, which means there is an atomic number decrease by 4, 38 to 34, and atomic mass decreases by 4 as well 88 to 84.
A decrease in the atomic mass is possible only when there is an emission of the alpha particle as an alpha particle is made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. If an atom emits an alpha particle, there is a change in atomic number as it decreases by two, and its mass number decreases by four.
So after the emission of an alpha particle, the new atom would be
38^88Sr=> 36^84X => 34^84Kr
so there is also two positron emission that leads to decrease in atomic number by one with each emission:
38^88Sr=> 2^4He+ 36^84X => 36^84X + 2(1^0β+) => 34^84Kr
Positron decay is the conversion of a proton into a neutron with the emission of a positron that causes the atomic number is decreased by one, which causes a change in the elemental identity of the daughter isotope.
The answer is number three because when electrons get excited they move up to the higher energy levels, and they emit light as the come back down to the lower quanta.
Answer:
Phenolphthalein is an indicator. It is pink in alkaline solutions and turns colourless as the pH decreases.
It can be used to measure the activity of the enzyme lipase on the breakdown of lipids.
Samples of milk containing phenolphthalein were incubated with lipase at different temperatures.
The time taken for the phenolphthalein to turn colourless was recorded and used to calculate the rate of enzyme activity.
Figure 10 shows these results.
Picture
(a) (i) Explain why phenolphthalein turns colourless when lipase breaks down the lipids in milk. (2)
(ii) Describe the effect of temperature on the activity of lipase, as shown in Figure 10. (2)
(iii) Explain why the activity of lipase changes above a temperature of 40°C. (2)
(b) A student investigated the time taken for amylase to breakdown a 10% starch solution into glucose at 37°C. The student repeated the investigation five times.
