<u>Answer:</u> The sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

where,

t_{1/2} = half life of the reaction = 5730 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{0.693}{5730yrs}=1.21\times 10^{-4}yrs^{-1}

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}yr^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process = ? yr

[A_o] = initial amount of the sample = 100 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process =  (100 - 25) = 75 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.21\times 10^{-4}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{100}{75}\\\\t=2377.9yrs

Hence, the sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %

Describe 2 ways of salting out proteins ​
liubo4ka [24]

The phenomenon known as "salting-out" occurs at very high ionic strengths, when protein solubility declines as ionic strength rises. As a result, salting out may be used to segregate proteins according to how soluble they are in salt solutions.

Because large levels of sodium chloride disturb the bonds and structure of the active site, the rate of enzyme activity will gradually decrease as the concentration of sodium chloride rises. As a result, some of the active sites get denaturized and the starch loses its ability to attach to them. As more enzymes get denatured and eventually cease to function, enzyme activity will steadily wane.

How many moles of atoms are in 9.00 g of 13c?
Blababa [14]
<span>The atomic weight of 13C should be pretty close to 13.0. (If you have the exact mass, use it in the problem.) So, 9.00 g / 13.0 g/mol = 0.692 moles Therefore, the answer should be 0.692 moles are in 9.00 g of 13C.</span>

During the combustion of a peanut that weighed 0.341 g, the temperature of the 100 mL of water in the calorimeter rose from 23.4
blondinia [14]

Answer:

119 kCal per serving.

Explanation:

The heat energy necessary to elevates water's temperature from 23.4°C to 37.9°C can be calculated by the equation below:

Q = mcΔT

Q: heat energy

m: mass in g

c: specific heat capacity in cal/g°C

ΔT = temperature variation in °C

m is the mass of water, considering the density of water to be 1g/mL, 100 mL of water weights  100g. Therefore:

Q = 100 g x 1.00 cal/g°C x (37.9 - 23.4)°C

Q = 1450 cal

1450 cal ____ 0.341 g peanuts

x             ____  28 g peanuts

x = 119061.58 cal

This means that the cal from fat per serving of peanuts is at least 119 kCal.
