Answer:

3.125 grams.

Explanation:

  • It is known that the decay of a radioactive isotope isotope obeys first order kinetics.
  • Half-life time is the time needed for the reactants to be in its half concentration.
  • If reactant has initial concentration [A₀], after half-life time its concentration will be ([A₀]/2).
  • Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.

∵ Thulium-167 has a half life of 9.0 days.

∴ The time is needed to calculate the grams are left after (36.0 days) represents (36.0 days / 9.0 days) = 4.0 half-lives.

50.0 grams → (first half life) 25.0 grams → (second half life) 12.5 grams → (third half life) 6.25 grams → (fourth half life) 3.125 grams.

So, the grams are left after 36.0 days = 3.125 grams.

zepelin [54]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

Carboxypeptidases are enzymes which function in the digestion of short peptides known as oligopeptides in the small intestine. Oligopeptides contain between 10 to 50 amino acid residues.

The two carboxypeptidases A and B involved in the digestion of proteins in the small intestine are secreted by the exocrine glands of the pancreas.They are both zinc-containing enzymes which remove successive carboxyl-terminal  (C-terminal) residues from oligopeptides until free amino acids are obtained.

Since they function in this way, they can be used to determine the entire sequence of short peptides or oligopeptides.

If a gas at 20.0 °C occupies 3.60 liters at a pressure of 1.00 atm, what will be its volume at a
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

1.44L

Explanation:

P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2

since the temperature didn’t change, stay at 20celsius, we can ignore T1 and T2.T1=T2

(1.00atm)(3.60L)=(2.50 atm)V2

V2=(1.00atm)(3.60L)/(2.50atm)

=1.44L

How many of the following are true concerning balanced chemical equations? I. The number of molecules is conserved. II. The coef
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:  I. The number of molecules is conserved.

III. Atoms are neither created nor destroyed

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products formed must be equal to the mass of reactants taken.

In order to get the same mass on both sides, the atoms of each element must be balanced on both sides of the chemical equation.

For example: 2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_2

Thus in the reactants, there are 4 atoms of hydrogen , 2 atoms of oxygen and 2 atoms of sodium.Thus there will be 4 atoms of hydrogen, 2 atoms of oxygen and 2 atoms of sodium in the product as well.
