7 0

Aspartamate is methyl ester of aspartic acid. It is used as an artificial sweetener in foods and beverages. The molecular formula of aspartamate is: C₁₄H₁₈N₂O₅. Molecular mass of aspartamate is 294.3 g/mol.

294.3 g of aspartamate contains 1 mol of aspartamate= 6.023 X 10²³ number of aspartamate molecules. So, 5 mg of aspartamate contains (5 X 6.023 X 10²³)/ (294.3 X 1000) = 1.023 X 10¹⁹ number of aspartamate molecules. Each molecule of aspartamate has 18 H-atoms, so, 5 mg i.e, 1.023 X 10¹⁹ number of aspartamate molecules contain 18 X 1.023 X 10¹⁹= 1.84 X 10²⁰ number of hydrogen atoms.

The ionization constant (Ka) of HF is 6.7 X 10 ^-4. Which of the following is true in a 0.1 M solution of this acid?

spin [16.1K]

The ionization equation is:

HF ⇄ H(+) + F(-)

The ionization constant is Ka = [H(+)] * [H(-)] / [HF]

=> [H(+)] * [F(-)] = Ka * [HF]

Given that Ka < 1

[H(+)] * [F(-)] < [HF]

Which is [HF] > [H(+)] * [F(-)] the option a. fo the list of choices.

An isotope of potassium with a half-life of roughly one billion years is often used in radioactive dating. This isotope decays t

melisa1 [442]

Answer : The chemical symbol for the element that results from this process is, (Ar) for argon.

Explanation :

Electron capture : In this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. Simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. Mass number does not change in this process.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^A\textrm{Y}$

The equation for the given reaction is,

$_{19}^{40}\textrm{K}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{18}^{40}\textrm{Ar}$

Thus, the chemical symbol for the element that results from this process is, argon (Ar).
