No, the biosphere does not exhibit a clear boundary as life always comes to an end.

The biosphere comprises all the living things of the world, like all the plants and animals. It is considered as the global ecosystem, that is, the gathering of all the planet's ecosystems. It comprises the land and the atmosphere. It is usually considered as the zone of life, where all the species of the planet thrives.

If 12.5 grams of the original sample of cesium-137 remained after 90.6 years, what was the mass of the original sample?

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Mass of original sample = 100 g

Explanation:

Half life of cesium-137 = 30.17 years

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac{\ln2}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{\ln2}{30.17}\ year^{-1}$

The rate constant, k = 0.02297 year⁻¹

Time = 90.6 years

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Initial concentration $[A_0]$ = ?

Final concentration $[A_t]$ = 12.5 grams

Applying in the above equation, we get that:-

$12.5\ g=[A_0]e^{-0.02297\times 90.6}$

$[A_0]=\frac{12.5}{e^{-0.02297\times 90.6}}\ g=100\ g$

Mass of original sample = 100 g

Given that Δ H ∘ f [ Br ( g ) ] = 111.9 kJ ⋅ mol − 1 Δ H ∘ f [ C ( g ) ] = 716.7 kJ ⋅ mol − 1 Δ H ∘ f [ CBr 4 ( g ) ] = 29.4 kJ

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

283.725 kJ ⋅ mol − 1

Explanation:

C(s) + 2Br2(g) ⇒ CBr4(g) , Δ H ∘ = 29.4 kJ ⋅ mol − 1

$\frac{1}{2}$ Br2(g) ⇒ Br(g) , Δ H ∘ = 111.9 kJ ⋅ mol − 1

C(s) ⇒ C(g) , Δ H ∘ = 716.7 kJ ⋅ mol − 1

4*eqn(2) + eqn(3) ⇒ 2Br2(g) + C(s) ⇒ 4 Br(g) + C(g) , Δ H ∘ = 1164.3 kJ ⋅ mol − 1

eqn(1) - eqn(4) ⇒ 4 Br(g) + C(g) ⇒ CBr4(g) , Δ H ∘ = -1134.9 kJ ⋅ mol − 1

so,

average bond enthalpy is $\frac{1134.9}{4}$ = 283.725 kJ ⋅ mol − 1

What type of bond is made between amino acids in the ribosome?

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Peptide bonds form between the amino group of the amino acid attached to the A-site tRNA and the carboxyl group of the amino acid attached to the P-site tRNA. The formation of each peptide bond is catalyzed by peptidyl transferase, an RNA-based enzyme that is integrated into the 50S ribosomal subunit.
