What you need to do is find 1/8 of 50
you can just divide 50 by 8 to get 6.25
so now you have to find how many days it will take till there are 6.25 grams of iodine left
every 8.1 days its mass is split in half 
so start splitting it in half and every time you do, you add 8.1 days
50/2 =25                                               8.1
25/2 =12.5                                        +  8.1
12.5/2= 6.25                                      +8.1
now you have reached 1/8 of the original amount of Iodine-131
so to find how long it took just add 8.1+8.1+8.1
(this is the same as 8.1x3)
which equals 24.3
it will take 24.3 days for Iodine 131 to decay to 1/8  of its original mass.

(good luck on the regent if thats what your studying for :)

It doesn't matter what the original mass is. 1/8 is (1/2)-cubed, and 3 half-lives is 8.3 days.

When dissolved in water, a neutral molecule of calcium chloride dissociates into three ions - one calcium ion and two chloride i
Mashcka [7]

Explanation:

Calcium chloride is an ionic compound as it is formed by transfer of an electron to each chlorine atom.

So, being an ionic compound calcium chloride is able to dissociate completely into water.

Hence, the dissociation reaction will be as follows.

         CaCl_{2}(s) \rightarrow Ca^{2+}(aq) + 2Cl^{-}(aq)

Since, two electrons has been lost by single calcium atom. Therefore, calcium atom will have a charge of +2.

Thus, we can conclude that the charge on the calcium ion, in elementary units is +2.

The enzyme Y catalyzes the elementary reaction
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

0.7μM = 0.6 μM = 0.5 μM > 0.4 μM > 0.3 μM > 0.2 μM

Explanation:

An enzyme solution is saturated when all the active sites of the enzyme molecule are full.  When an enzyme solution is saturated, the reaction is occurring at the maximum rate.

From the given information, an enzyme concentration of 1.0 μM Y can convert a maximum of 0.5 μM AB to the products A and B per second means that a 1.0 M Y solution is saturated when an AB concentration of 0.5 M or greater is present.

The addition of more substrate to a solution that contains the enzyme required  for its catalysis will generally increase the rate of the reaction. However, if the enzyme is saturated with substrate, the addition of more substrate will have no effect on the rate of reaction.

<em>Therefore the reaction rates at substrate concentrations of 0.7μM, 0.6 μM, and 0.5 μM are equal. But the reaction rate at substrate concentrations of  0.2 μM is lower than at 0.3 μM, 0.3 μM is lower than 0.4 μM and 0.4 μM is lower than 0.5 μM, 0.6 μM and 0.7 μM.</em>

How is electromagnetic energy fromthe microwave transformed into heat energy
zysi [14]

Answer:


First, the microwaves transmit kinetic energy to the water molecules of the food, heating the water molecules. Only, those that are not very deep into the food.


Second, the hot water molecules transmit heat by conduction to the other parts of the food.


Explanation:


1) Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The same as any wave, they carry energy.


2) The wave length of microwaves are in the range of 0.001 mm to 1 m (shorter than radio waves and longer than infrared)


3) The microwaves of an oven, used to heat food, have a wave length aroun 12 cm.


4) The microwaves transmit energy to the water molecules in the food, by increasing the kinetic energy of water molecules. As result, the water molecules get hotter. Microwaves only penetrate about 1 cm inside the food (a potato for example) and from that the heat is transferred by conduction to the inner parts of the food.

Compare how entropy changes for the following two systems:
postnew [5]

System A undergoes an increase in entropy while system B undergoes a decrease in entropy.

Entropy is the degree of disorderliness of a system. The entropy of a system depends on the number of particles present in the system as well as the state of matter.

Entropy is increased when solid particles dissolve in water because more particles are produced thereby increasing the level of disorderliness in the system.

On the other hand, when vapor is condensed, the degree of disorderliness decreases as gases are converted to liquids.
