Answer:

Explanation:

No of atoms of Ra in 1 g of sample = 6.023 x 10²³ / 226

N = 2.66 x 10²¹

disintegration constant λ = .693 / half life

half life = 1620 x 365 x 60 x 60 x 24 = 5.1 x 10¹⁰ s

disintegration constant λ = .693 / 5.1 x 10¹⁰

radioactivity dn / dt = λN

= (.693 / 5.1 x 10¹⁰ )  x 2.66 x 10²¹

= .3614 x 10¹¹ per sec

= 3.614 x 10¹⁰ / s

The graph illustrates the activity level of three common digestive enzymes, across a range of pH values. Which enzyme is likely
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(A) Pepsin

Explanation:

From the graph it is clear that pepsin is the only enzyme which works in highly acidic condintion in the digestive system.

  • less than 7 the liquid is acidic
  • above 7 the liquid is basic
  • at 7 the liquid is neutral

It has an optimum pH of about 1.5 at which its activity level is 8.5 as shown in graph.

Why are the lunar mountains smoothly rounded rather than having sharp, pointed peaks (as they were almost always depicted in sci
omeli [17]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Lunar mountains are smoothly rounded rather than having sharp, pointed peaks because the lunar moons are formed because of the impact of asteroids and comets on its surface whereas the Earth mountains are formed because of the surface activity of volcanos, collision of land masses and activity of plate tectonics that is why they have sharp and pointed tops.
