Answer: Mercury-194 is an unstable isotope and hence is radioactive.

Explanation: Mercury-194 is an isotope of mercury, having formula _{80}^{194}\textrm{Hg}

Number of protons in this isotope = 80

Number of neutrons in this isotope = 114

This isotope is radioactive in nature and under decay process by Electron Capture.

Electron capture reactions are the reactions in which a proton in a nucleus absorbs an electron and convert it into neutron. The resulting nucleus will have a decreased atomic number and same atomic mass.

Reaction for electron capture of mercury-194 follows:

_{80}^{194}\textrm{Hg}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{79}^{194}\textrm{Au}

You wish to add 5 mg/l naocl as cl2 to a solution in a disinfection test, and you have a stock solution (household bleach) that
Alecsey [184]

Answer: -

0.1 ml of bleach should be added to each liter of test solution.

Explanation:-

Let the volume of bleach to be added is B ml.

Density of stock solution = 1.0 g/ml

Mass of stock solution = Volume of stock x density of stock

                                     = B ml x 1.0 g/ml

                                     = B g

Amount of NaOCl in this stock solution = 5% of B g

                                     = \frac{5}{100} x B g

                                     = 0.05 B g

Now each test solution must be added 5 mg/l NaOCl.

Thus each liter of test solution must have 5 mg.

Thus 0.05 B g = 5 mg

                        = 0.005 g

B = \frac{0.005}{0.05}

  = 0.1

Thus 0.1 ml of bleach should be added to each liter of test solution.

According to collision theory, the rate of reaction depends on atoms colliding in the correct _________ with enough ________ for
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: orientation , energy , frequency

Explanation:

According to the collision theory , the number of collisions that take place per unit volume of the reaction mixture is called collision frequency. The effective collisions are ones which result into the formation of products.

Effective collisions depends on the following  two factors:-

1. Orientation factor: The colliding molecules must have proper orientation at the time of collision to result into formation of products.

2. Energy factor:  For collision to be effective,  the colliding molecules must have energy more than a particular value called as threshold energy.

The nutritional energy content (in Calories) present in 86g of broccoli with 6g of carbohydrates, 2.6g of protein, and 0.3g of f
asambeis [7]

Answer:

37.1 calories.

Approximately, 37.1 = 40 calories.

Explanation:

So, without mincing words let's dive straight into the solution to the question above.

We are given the following parameters which are going to help in solving this particular Question.

The mass of broccoli = 86g of broccoli, mass of carbohydrates present = 6g of carbohydrates, the mass of protein present = 2.6g of protein and the mass of fat present = 0.3g of fat.

Therefore, the nutritional energy content (in Calories) = (6 × 4) + (2.6 × 4) + (0.3 × 9) = 10.4 + 24 + 2.7 = 37.1

Hence, the nutritional energy content (in Calories) = 37.1 calories.

Approximately, 37.1 = 40 calories.
