Anastaziya [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

228

Explanation:

alpha decay is removing alpha particle _2^{4}He

2 number of protons, 4 mass number = 2 protons + 2 neutrons

We have

      90 protons and 142 neutrons

<u>       - 2 protons         -  2 neutrons</u>

      88 protons         140 neutrons

Mass number of new (daughter) atom = 88 +140 = 228

What fraction of the enzymes will be active at ph=4.07 explain?
Ratling [72]
PH is the scale of measurement to check either the solution is acidic or basic. if the pH value is greater than 7, the solution is towards basicity and if the pH value is less than 7, the solution is towards acidity.
pKa is the dissociation constant and it is used to describe the change in pH value, when pKa is equal to pH: 50% of the ionizable group is protonated and 50% of the enzymes will be active.
So 50% of the enzymes will be active.

(a) a sample of solid ca(oh)2 is stirred in water at 30°c until the solution contains as much dissolved ca(oh)2 as it can hold.
nordsb [41]

The neutralization reaction is:

Ca(OH)2 + 2HBr ---------- CaBr2 + 2H2O

Therefore based on the reaction stoichiometry, the ratio of Ca(OH)2 : HBr = 1:2

Titration data:

Concentration of HBr = 5.00 *10^-2 M

Volume of HBr required  = 48.8 ml = 0.0488 L

# moles of HBr = 5.00 *10^-2 moles L-1 * 0.0488 L = 0.00244 moles

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

Moles of Ca(OH)2 = 1/2 * Moles of HBr = 1/2 * 0.00244 = 0.00122 moles

Volume of Ca(OH)2 taken = 100 ml = 0.1 L

Concentration of Ca(OH)2 = 0.00122/0.1

 = 0.0122 M = 1.22 * 10^-2 M
