The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Silicon reacts with carbon dioxide to form silicon carbide and silicon dioxide. Write the balanced chemical equation.

Answer: The balanced chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.

A balanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on product side.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of silicon and carbon dioxide follows:

$2Si+CO_2\rightarrow SiC+SiO_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of silicon reacts with 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas to produce 1 mole of silicon carbide and 1 mole of silicon dioxide

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.

Iodine-131 is administered orally in the form of NaI(aq) as a treatment for thyroid cancer. The half-life of iodine-131 is 8.04

evablogger [386]

Answer:

16.6 mg

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the rate constant (k) for Iodine-131 decay

We know the half-life is t1/2 = 8.04 day. We can calculate the rate constant using the following expression.

k = ln2 / t1/2 = ln2 / 8.04 day = 0.0862 day⁻¹

Step 2: Calculate the mass of iodine after 8.52 days

Iodine-131 decays following first-order kinetics. Given the initial mass (I₀ = 34.7 mg) and the time elapsed (t = 8.52 day), we can calculate the mass of iodine-131 using the following expression.

ln I = ln I₀ - k × t

ln I = ln 34.7 - 0.0862 day⁻¹ × 8.52 day

I = 16.6 mg

The hydrogen-line emission spectrum includes a line at a wavelength of 434 nm. What is the energy of this radiation? (h= 6.626 x

Andrews [41]

Wavelength = 434nm = 434 x 10⁻⁹m
planck's constant = h= 6.626 x 10 ⁻³⁴ J
E =?
by using the formula;
E = hc /λ
value for c is 3 x 10⁸ m/s
E = (6.626 x 10 ⁻³⁴ J)(3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 434 x 10⁻⁹m
E = 1.9878 x 10⁻²⁵ / 434 x 10⁻⁹m
E = 4.58 x 10⁻¹⁹ joules

Cytochromes are critical participants in the electron transport chains used in photosynthesis and cellular respiration. How do c

goblinko [34]

Answer:

4) Each cytochrome has an iron‑containing heme group that accepts electrons and then donates the electrons to a more electronegative substance.

Explanation:

The cytochromes are proteins that contain heme prosthetic groups. Cytochromes undergo oxidation and reduction through loss or gain of a single electron by the iron atom in the heme of the cytochrome:

$Cytochrome-Fe²⁺ ⇄ cytochrome-Fe³⁺-e⁻$

The reduced form of ubiquinone (QH₂), an extraordinarily mobile transporter, transfers electrons to cytochrome reductase, a complex that contains cytochromes b and c₁, and a Fe-S center. This second complex reduces cytochrome c, a water-soluble membrane peripheral protein. Cytochrome c, like ubiquinone (Q), is a mobile electron transporter, which is transferred to cytochrome oxidase. This third complex contains the cytochromes a, a₃ and two copper ions. Heme iron and a copper ion of this oxidase transfer electrons to O₂, as the last acceptor, to form water.

Each transporter "downstream" is more electronegative than its neighbor "upstream"; oxygen is located in the inferior part of the chain. Thus, the electrons fall in an energetic gradient in the electron chain transport to a more stable localization in the electronegative oxygen atom.
