Answer:

The correct answer would be = 0.1593 mCi.

Explanation:

The initial 123I = 2.55 mCi (given)

We know that the half-life of radioactive I-123 =  12 hours approximately.

So, we can say that in 48 hours there will be four half-lives of 123I,

Hence after four half-life or 48 hours, the final 123I would be:

= 2.55 * (1/2⁴)

= 2.55 * (1/16)

= 0.1593 mCi

Thus, the correct answer would be = 0.1593 mCi.

Explain the energetic benefits of making the enzyme active site complementary to the transition state rather than to the substra
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the enzyme active site is complementary to the substrate conformation rather than to the transition state, it is unlikely that the reaction will proceed and release a product, because the enzyme-substrate complex will be tightly bound (ΔG will raise).

On the other hand, when the enzyme active site is complementary to the transition state, the substrate will not be tightly bound and will be more prone to be transformed into the product (<u>ΔG will be lowered</u>) and afterward, be released.

The weak interactions (non-covalent bonds) will stabilize the energy of the transition state and reduce its energy, thus lowering the activation energy). If the transition state is stable, it will form more easily and<u> the reaction will be more likely to proceed.</u>

<span>Hydrogen can be obtained economically as a byproduct in the electrolysis of "brine".
</span>
A solution of sodium chloride (NaCl)and water (H2O) refers to the brine.The procedure of electrolysis includes utilizing an electric current to achieve a synthetic change and make new chemicals. The electrolysis of brine is a huge scale process used to make chlorine from salt, so  three important chemicals, NaOH, Cl2, H2, can be gotten by electrolyzing brine.

A scientist wants to make a solution of tribasic sodium phosphate, Na3PO4, for a laboratory experiment. How many grams of Na3PO4
Harman [31]
Na₃PO₄ -----> 3Na(+) + PO₄(3-)
y-y.......................3y...........y

3y = 1.2
y = 0,4M

Na₃PO₄ -----> 3Na(+) + PO₄(3-)
0,4-0,4..............1,2..........0,4
0.........................1,2..........0,4

C = n/V
n = C×V
n = 0,4×0,65L
n = 0,26 mol Na₃PO₄

mNa₃PO₄: (23×3)+31+(16×4) = 164 g/mol

164g ----- 1 mol
Xg -------- 0,26 mol
X = 164×0,26
X = 42,64g Na₂SO₄
