Answer:

32 days

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time it takes to get to half of the starting concentration / amount.

Starting amount = 250 g

Half life = 8 days

Amount left = 15.625 g

How many days ? That is, how many half lives....

After first Half life;

Amount left = 250 / 2 = 125 g

After second half life;

Amount left = 125 / 2 = 62.5 g

After third half life;

Amount left = 62.5 / 2 = 31.25 g

After fourth half life;

Amount left = 31.25 g / 2 = 15.625 g

That is the radioactive iodine - 131 went though four half lives.

How many days = Number of half lives * Half life

How many days = 4 * 8 = 32 days

A solution is prepared by dissolving 0.23 mol of benzoic acid and 0.27 mol of sodium benzoate in water sufficient to yield 1.00
Monica [59]

Answer:

The pH does not decrease drastically because the NaOH reacts with the <u>D) Benzoic acid</u> present in the buffer solution.

Explanation:

The hydroxide ions will react with acidic part of the solutions, it means the benzoic acid, so it will form the conjugate base, the benzoate ion.

Substrate: N-benzoyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester (BTEE) 0.001M in 50% aqueous
andreev551 [17]

0.1 mL of the stock solution of the enzyme is taken and made up to 5.0 mL with 0.001M HCl in order to prepare a 50-fold diluted enzyme.

<h3>What is dilution?</h3>

Dilution is a process of making a solution of lower concentration from a solution of higher concentration by the addition of solvent to a given volume of the solution of higher concentration.

Dilution of solutions is done using the dilution formula in order to determine the given volume of diluent or stock solution required. The dilution formula is given below:

  • C1V1 = C2V2

where:

  • C1 = Initial concentration of enzyme
  • C2 = Final concentration of enzyme
  • V1 = Initial volume
  • V2 = Final volume

For the enzyme dilution;

C1 = 1 mg/mL

C2 = 1/50 mg/ml = 0.02 mg/ml

V= ?

V2 = 5 ml

V1 = C2V2/C1

V1 =  0.02 * 5/1 = 0.1 mL

Therefore, 0.1 mL of the stock solution of the enzyme is taken and made up to 5.0 mL with 0.001M HCl in order to prepare a 50-fold diluted enzyme.
