Answer: The correct answer is Option c.

Explanation:

Alpha particle is released when an atom undergoes alpha decay. This particle carries a charge of +2 units and has a mass of 4 units. This is also considered as a helium nucleus.

In the question:

An atom of N-14 is bombarded with alpha particle, so the equation for this reaction follows:

$_7^{14}\textrm{N}+_2^4\alpha \rightarrow _9^{18}\textrm{F}$

Hence, the correct answer is Option c.

For the answer to the question above asking when an atom of n-14 is bombarded by an alpha particle, the single product is?

 You're starting with 14/7 N, correct?

An alpha particle is two protons, two neutrons, which is 4/2, correct?
So I think the answer to your question is the third one which is c. 18/9 f

For the following example, list the given and unknown information (including gratis or moles)

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

9.6 moles O2

Explanation:

I'll assume it is 345 grams, not gratis, of water. Hydrogen's molar mass is 1.01, not 101.

The molar mass of water is 18.0 grams/mole.

Therefore: (345g)/(18.0 g/mole) = 19.17 or 19.2 moles water (3 sig figs).

The balanced equation states that: 2H20 ⇒ 2H2 +02

It promises that we'll get 1 mole of oxygen for every 2 moles of H2O, a molar ratio of 1/2.

get (1 mole O2/2 moles H2O)*(19.2 moles H2O) or 9.6 moles O2

Describe and compare the building blocks, general structires and biological functions of carbohydrates lipids proteins and nucle

Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are basically composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen having the general formula CnH2nOn.

There are 3 types of carbohydrates which are dependent on the number of "n"

Monosaccharides which are n>3 (Triose) are the aldose and ketose.

They are the simpleat and smallest form and they are Glucose, fructose and galactose

Disaccharides are structure of the combination of the monosaccharides by glycosidic bond and they are sucrose, lactose, maltose etc

Polysaccharides are the largest and insoluble form of carbohydrates. They are cellulose, starch, glycogen etc.

Lipids(triglycerides) are solid fats or series of repeated fats at room temperature, they are insoluble in water both soluble in some organic solvents. They are also composed of glycerides (3 molecules). Its structure is composed of two parts, the soluble part composing of the -COOH group and the insoluble part that can be saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon chain

Saturated fats - CH3(CH2)nCOOH

Their types are phospholipids, glycolipids etc

Proteins are polymers of peptides called polypeptides. The bond linking the structure together is called a peptide bond (-CONH-). They form chains of amino acid.

There are 4 levels of protein structures and they are

The primary structure defines the basic straight chain structure of an amino acid. They form the basis of genetic mutation.

Secondary structure involves the folding of this chain into alpha helix or beta pleated.

Tertiary structure is a 3-D structure that involves the hydrophobic and Hydrophilic parts pf the structure. The hydrophobic part apreads outwards while the hydrophyllic parts curve inwards by the action of van der waals forces.

Tertiary structure in this case is the example of the Haemoglobin

Nucleic acids is the building block for RNA and DNA (ribo- and Deoxyribonucleic acid). This is composed of a nitrogenous base which can either be purine or pyrimidine bases, a ribose sugar (5- Carbon sugar and phosphate group

The bond holding the nucleotides together is called phosphodiester bond.

How will you separate a solution of benzene and chloroform?

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf Distillation}$

Explanation:

State of benzene at RTP = liquid
State of chloroform at RTP = liquid
Boiling point of benzene = 80.1 °C
Boiling point of chloroform = 61.2 °C

Since, both of the chemicals are liquids, we can separate it by the process of distillation.

Distillation:

is the process in which we separate two liquids on the basis of their difference in boiling points.

How it works:

Since chloroform has less boiling point, it will evaporate and collected first and benzene will follow it after sometime.

- Apparatus of distillation is in the attached file.

In an aqueous solution of a certain acid the acid is 4.4% dissociated and the pH is 3.03. Calculate the acid dissociation consta

NeX [460]

Answer:

4.1x10⁻⁵

Explanation:

The dissociation of an acid is a reversible reaction, and, because of that, it has an equilibrium constant, Ka. For a generic acid (HA), the dissociation happens by:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

So, if x moles of the acid dissociates, x moles of H⁺ and x moles of A⁻ is formed. the percent of dissociation of the acid is:

% = (dissociated/total)*100%

4.4% = (x/[HA])*100%

But x = [A⁻], so:

[A⁻]/[HA] = 0.044

The pH of the acid can be calcualted by the Handersson-Halsebach equation:

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

3.03 = pKa + log 0.044

pKa = 3.03 - log 0.044

pKa = 4.39

pKa = -logKa

logKa = -pKa

Ka = $10^{-pKa}$

Ka = $10^{-4.39}$

Ka = 4.1x10⁻⁵
