Answer:  (3) gamma radiation

Explanation:

An isotope can decay in 4 process:

1.) Alpha decay: In this process, alpha particles is emitted when a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei. The alpha particle released has a charge of +2 units.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}+_2^4\alpha

2.)Beta-decay: In this process, a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron releasing a beta-particle. The beta particle released carries a charge of -1 units.

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

3.) Gamma ray emission: in this process, an unstable nuclei gives off excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process and releases \gamma -radiations. These radiations does not carry any charge and are electrically neutral.

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma

4.) Positron decay: In this process, a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino and releases positron particles. This particle carries a charge of +1 units.

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

In the question, it is given that when an isotope decays, it emits only energy. It is released when an isotope undergoes gamma decay and therefore, the correct answer is gamma radiation.

3. A student carries out the clay-catalyzed dehydration of cyclohexanol starting with 10 moles of cyclohexanol and obtains 500 m
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

49.45~%

Explanation:

In this case, we have to start with the <u>chemical reaction</u>:

C_6H_1_2O~->~C_6H_1_0~+~H_2O

So, if we start with <u>10 mol of cyclohexanol</u> (C_6H_1_2O) we will obtain 10 mol of cyclohexanol (C_6H_1_0). So, we can calculate the grams of cyclohexanol if we<u> calculate the molar mass:</u>

(6*12)+(10*1)=82~g/mol

With this value we can calculate the grams:

10~mol~C_6H_1_0\frac{82~g~C_6H_1_0}{1~mol~C_6H_1_0}=820~g~C_6H_1_0

Now, we have as a product 500 mL of C_6H_1_0. If we use the <u>density value</u> (0.811 g/mL). We can calculate the grams of product:

500~mL\frac{0.811~g}{1~mL}=405.5~g

Finally, with these values we can calculate the <u>yield</u>:

%~=~\frac{405.5}{820}x100~=~49.45%%= (405.5/820)*100 = 49.45 %

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

In uncompetitive inhibition, the inhibitor can bind to the enzyme only after the substrate binds first. (T/F)
Veronika [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In an uncompetitive inhibition, initially the substrate [S] binds to the active site of the enzyme [E] and forms an enzyme-substrate activated complex [ES].

The inhibitor molecule then binds to the enzyme- substrate complex [ES], resulting in the formation of [ESI] complex, thereby inhibiting the reaction.

This inhibition is called uncompetitive because the inhibitor does not compete with the substrate to bind on the active site of the enzyme.

Therefore, in an uncompetitive inhibition, the inhibitor molecule can not bind on the active site of the enzyme directly. The inhibitor can only bind to the enzyme-substrate complex formed.
