Diagram of the nuclear composition, electron configuration, chemical data, and valence orbitals of an atom of neodymium-144 (atomic number: 60), an isotope of this element. The nucleus consists of 60 protons (red) and 84 neutrons (orange). 60 electrons (white) successively occupy available electron shells (rings).
Answer: Lysosomes
Explanation: The lysosome is an organelle that contains digestive enzymes and acts as the organelle-recycling facility of an animal cell. It breaks down old and unnecessary structures so their molecules can be reused. Lysosomes are part of the endomembrane system, and some vesicles that leave the Golgi are bound for the lysosome.
Correct answer: A. Alpha particles are 20 times safer than other types of radiation.
Alpha, beta, gamma, and X-rays are the forms of ionizing radiations. Alpha radiations are emitted when an atom emits alpha particles with 2 neutrons and 2 protons. These particles ionize matter due to their charge and mass. Alpha particles cannot penetrate the outer layers of the skin, but when present inside the cell they can be very damaging as they lose their energy within short distances ionizing the matter present around. Therefore, alpha particles cause more damage than other forms of radiations.
Radioactive decay => C = Co { e ^ (- kt) |
Data:
Co = 2.00 mg
C = 0.25 mg
t = 4 hr 39 min
Time conversion: 4 hr 39 min = 4.65 hr
1) Replace the data in the equation to find k
C = Co { e ^ (-kt) } => C / Co = e ^ (-kt) => -kt = ln { C / Co} => kt = ln {Co / C}
=> k = ln {Co / C} / t = ln {2.00mg / 0.25mg} / 4.65 hr = 0.44719
2) Use C / Co = 1/2 to find the hallf-life
C / Co = e ^ (-kt) => -kt = ln (C / Co)
=> -kt = ln (1/2) => kt = ln(2) => t = ln (2) / k
t = ln(2) / 0.44719 = 1.55 hr.
Answer: 1.55 hr
Answer:
Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 I⁻(aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) + SO₂(g)
Explanation:
<em>Give the complete ionic equation for the reaction (if any) that occurs when aqueous solutions of MgSO₃ and HI are mixed.</em>
When MgSO₃ reacts with HI they experience a double displacement reaction, in which the cations and anions of each compound are exchanged, forming H₂SO₃ and MgI₂. At the same time, H₂SO₃ tends to decompose to H₂O and SO₂. The complete molecular equation is:
MgSO₃(aq) + 2 HI(aq) ⇄ MgI₂(aq) + H₂O(l) + SO₂(g)
In the complete ionic equation, species with ionic bonds dissociate into ions.
Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 I⁻(aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) + SO₂(g)
