Answer: It was obtained 8515 years ago

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) to find the rate constant:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

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

k=\frac{0.693}{5760}=0.00012years^{-1}

b) for completion of 36% of reaction

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{36}

t=\frac{2.303}{0.00012}\log\frac{100}{36}

t = 8515 years

The time was 8515 years.

What are two variables that form larger and heavier elements than hydrogen and helium in starts?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

fusion

A star's energy comes from combining light elements into heavier elements in a process known as fusion, or "nuclear burning". It is generally believed that most of the elements in the universe heavier than helium were created in stars when lighter nuclei fuse to make heavier nuclei.

1) Glycogen phosphorylase catalyzes the removal of glucose from glycogen. The ∆G°’ for this reaction is 3.1 kJ/mole 1. Calculate
Andru [333]

Answer:

1. G° = -RT ln (G1P/P)

3.1 = 8.314 × 310 × ln (G1P/P)

3.1 / 2577.34 = ln (G1P/P)

0.0012 = ln (G1P/P)

0.0012 = (log G1P/P)/log 2.71828

0.4342 × 0.0012 = log G1P/P

0.00052 = log G1P/P

G1P/P = 10^0.00052 = 1.0012

P/G1P = 1/1.0012 = 0.9988

2. The cleavage of glycogen phosphorolytically is beneficial for the cell to conduct the process as the discharged glucose is phosphorylated. A general hydrolytic cleavage would give rise to only a glucose, which has to be phosphorylated again with the help of ATP.  

Another merit of phosphorylated glucose is that it comprises the negative charge and cannot diffuse out of the muscle cell. Thus, the reaction will not be at equilibrium under the physiological conditions and always encourages the generation of the products. The formation of products will amend the change in free energy in such a manner that the reaction will always carry in the forward direction.  

3. Greater the ratio of [Pi]/[glucose-1-phosphate], higher will be the relative rate of glycogen phosphorylase in comparison to the phosphoglucomutase as the transformation of Glu-1-P becomes slow because of lesser accessibility of substrate.
