Explanation:

A good surfactant is going to have a hydrophilic head and a long hydrophobic tail. As a result, a surfactant molecule contains both an insoluble water (or an oil-soluble component) and a water-soluble component. Surfactant molecules will migrate to the surface of the water, where the insoluble hydrophobic group may extend out of the bulk phase of the water, either into the air or, if the water is mixed with oil, into the oil Phase, while the water-soluble head group remains in the water phase. This alignment and aggregation of surfactant molecules at the surface is intended to alter the surface properties of water at the water / air or water / oil interface.

Do predators really kill only the old and sick prey? What evidence is there for this statement
nalin [4]
There are many factors that determine what a predator will prey on. For instance if the predator is starving or if they are hunting in a pack. Predators will usually prey on animals that are easiest to be captured without using too much energy. The sick, young, old, small and unaware animals will often times fall prey since they are easiest to be caught. Predators don't necessarily prey only on the ill/ injured. Sick prey may be overlooked because their bodies may not provide the necessary sustence for the predator and others it may be feeding. Healthy large slow moving animals may be difficult to kill but the payoff is greater, especially if a pack is involved.

g Indium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 113In with an atomic weight of 112.904 amu, and 115In with an atomic weight of 11
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Fraction-of-occurrences of 115In isotope = 0.957

Explanation:

As we know  weight of 113 In  isotope is equal to the sum of product of fraction-of-occurrences of two constituents isotopes and their atomic weight

^{115}In_w = f_{113}*A_{113} + f_{115}*A_{115} ------(1)

As we know sum of fraction-of-occurrences of two constituents isotopes is equal to one.

f_{113} + f_{115} = 1\\f_{113} = 1- f_{115}---------(2)

Substituting the given values in equation 1, we get

^{115}In_w = f_{113}*A_{113} + f_{115}*A_{115}\\114.818 = (1 - f_{115}) * 112.904 + f_{115} * 114.904\\f_{115} = 0.957

Substituting this value in equation 2 we get -

f_{113} = 1- f_{115}\\f_{113} =  1- 0.957 \\f_{113} = 0.043
