Answer: The correct option is C.

Explanation: Beta minus ( $\beta ^-$ ) decay is the decay in which a neutron is converted into proton and releases beta particle or generally known as electron.

There is an increase in the Atomic number because one protons is being formed.

In the case of beta-minus decay of phosphorous, the P-nucleus gets changed to Sulfur nucleus. The balanced Chemical equation for this process is:

$^{32}_{15}\textrm{P}\rightarrow ^{32}_{16}\textrm{S}+^0_{-1}\beta$

Hence, the correct option is C.

Answer : Option C) $P^{32}_{15} ---> S^{32}_{16} +e^ {0}_{-1}$

Explanation : The balanced equation for the beta minus decay for emission of Phosphorus-32 is $P^{32}_{15} ---> S^{32}_{16} +e^ {0}_{-1}$

Where, it is clearly seen that in the beta minus emission a neutron decays into a proton, an electron, and an anti-neutrino.

So, in the phosphorus-32 beta minus decay the product is sulfur-32 along with an electron created from the anti-neutrino.

Therefore, option C is the correct option.

Muscle contraction is triggeredA) in response to an increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2+concentration.B) in response to a decrease i

natima [27]

Answer:

A) in response to an increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2+concentration.

Explanation:

Muscle contraction occurs in response to an increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2 + concentration.

This process occurs with the shortening of the sarcomeres resulting in a result, the actin filaments react with myosin, generating actomyosin. During this reaction, it is necessary to increase the cytoplasmic concentration of Ca + and ATP. In this, myosin will break down ATP, releasing energy so that the muscle can contract.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction 2NO(g)+Br2(g)⥫⥬==2NOBr(g) is Kc=1.3×10−2 at 1000 K. At this temperature does the equil

o-na [289]

Answer :

The equilibrium favors NO and $Br_2$ .

(1) The value of equilibrium constant for this reaction is, 76.9

(2) The value of equilibrium constant for this reaction is, 8.77

Explanation:

The given chemical equation is:

$2NO(g)+Br_2(g)\rightarrow 2NOBr(g)$

The value of equilibrium constant for the above equation is $K_c=1.3\times 10^{-2}$ .

The value of $K_c$ that means equilibrium lies to the left side. Thus, the equilibrium favors NO and $Br_2$ .

We need to calculate the equilibrium constant for the given equation of above chemical equation, which is:

(1) $2NOBr(g)\rightarrow 2NO(g)+Br_2(g)$

The equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction will be the reciprocal of the initial reaction.

The value of equilibrium constant for reverse reaction is:

$K_{c_1}=\frac{1}{K_c}$

$K_{c_1}=\frac{1}{1.3\times 10^{-2}}=76.9$

Thus, the value of equilibrium constant for this reaction is, 76.9

(2) $NOBr(g)\rightarrow NO(g)+\frac{1}{2}Br_2(g)$

The equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction will be the reciprocal of the initial reaction.

If the equation is multiplied by a factor of '1/2', the equilibrium constant of the reverse reaction will be the 1/2 power of the equilibrium constant of initial reaction.

The value of equilibrium constant for reverse reaction is:

$K_{c_2}=(\frac{1}{K_c})^{1/2}$

$K_{c_2}=(\frac{1}{1.3\times 10^{-2}})^{1/2}=8.77$

Thus, the value of equilibrium constant for this reaction is, 8.77
