Answer:

\rm _{27}^{60}\text{Co} \longrightarrow \,  _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, _{28}^{60}\text{Ni}

Explanation:

The unbalanced nuclear equation is

\rm _{27}^{60}\text{Co} \longrightarrow \,  _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, ?

Let's write the question mark as a nuclear symbol.

\rm _{27}^{60}\text{Co} \longrightarrow \,  _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \,  _{Z}^{A}\text{X}

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that the sums of the superscripts and the subscripts must be the same on each side of the equation.  

Then

60 = 0 + A, so A = 60 - 0 = 60, and

27 = -1 + Z, so Z  = 27 + 1 = 28

Your nuclear equation becomes

\rm _{27}^{60}\text{Co} \longrightarrow \,  _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, _{28}^{60}\text{X}

Element 28 is nickel, so the balanced nuclear equation is

\rm _{27}^{60}\text{Co} \longrightarrow \,  _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, _{28}^{60}\text{Ni}

A histidine is involved in an interaction with a glutamic acid that stabilizes the charged form of the histidine, such that the
Greeley [361]

Answer:

pKa of the histidine = 9.67

Explanation:

The relation between standard Gibbs energy and equilibrium constant is shown below as:

\Delta{G^0} =-RT \ln \frac{[His]}{[His+]}

R is Gas constant having value = 0.008314 kJ / K mol  

Given temperature, T = 293 K

Given, \Delta{G^0}=15\ kJ/mol

So,  Applying in the equation as:-

15\ kJ/mol=-0.008314\ kJ/Kmol\times 293\ K\times \ln \frac{[His]}{[His+]}

Thus,

15\ kJ/mol=-0.008314\ kJ/Kmol\times 293\ K\times \ln \frac{[His]}{[His+]}

\frac{[His]}{[His+]}=e^{\frac{15}{-0.008314\times 293}

\frac{[His]}{[His+]}=0.00211

Also, considering:-

pH=pKa+log\frac{[His]}{[His+]}

Given that:- pH = 7.0

So, 7.0=pKa+log0.00211

<u>pKa of the histidine = 9.67</u>

The density of concentrated ammonia, which is 28.0% w/w nh3, is 0.899 g/ml. what volume of this reagent should be diluted to 1.0
vlada-n [284]

Answer: 2.4 ml

Solution :

Molar mass of NH_3 = 17 g/mole

Given,: 28% w/w of NH_3 solution means 28 g of ammonia in 100 g of solution.

Mass of solution = 100 g

Now we have to calculate the volume of solution.

Volume=\frac{Mass}{Density}=\frac{100g}{0.899g/ml}=111.2ml  

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of solution.

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute NH_3=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{28}{17}=1.65moles

V_s = volume of solution in liter = 0.11 L

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

Molarity=\frac{1.65moles}{0.11L}=15mole/L

Using molarity equation:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

15\times V_1=0.036\times 1.0\times 10^{3}

V_1=2.4ml

Explain the two parts of a scientific name?
enot [183]

Answer:The binomial nomenclature system combines two names into one to give all species unique scientific names. The first part of a scientific name is called the genus. The second part of a species name is the specific epithet. Species are also organized into higher levels of classification.

A buffer is a solution that is a mixture of either a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Whe
leva [86]

Answer:

a. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution.

b. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base.

e. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution.

Explanation:

<em>Which of the statements correctly describe the properties of a buffer?</em>

a. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. TRUE. The conjugate base neutralizes the excess of hydrogen protons.

b. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. TRUE.

c. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak base and its conjugate acid. FALSE. This is a basic buffer solution.

d. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. FALSE. The weak acid will react with the hydroxyl ions from the added base.

e. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. TRUE. These hydrogen protons will form water.

f. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. FALSE. It will accept hydrogen protons.
