Answer:

Elements-

  1. Oxygen is essential for living organisms to survive.
  2. Carbon dioxide is essential for the survival, growth and reproduction of living things. Plants obtain carbon from the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide, which they need for photosynthesis. They convert inorganic carbon into organic carbon in the form of sugar and starch, which they add to their tissues.

Compounds-

  1. Water is essential for living organisms to stay hydrated.
  2. Carbohydrate and protein- These compound are used to form new cells and tissues and to repair.

Mixtures-

  1. Blood is very much important for the transportation of oxygen in living organisms.
  2. Blood plasma is an example of a homogeneous mixture. This is a colourless fluid that holds the blood cells in suspension. It makes up a little more than half of the volume of human blood.

elements:

calcium : for strong bones

Iron : maintaining haemoglobin for metabolism

compunds

sodium chloride : to maintain blood pressure and other life processes

Adenosine Triphosphate: for metabolism, to maintain rate of inhalation and exhalation of oxygen and to supply energy

Mixture:

I) gasoline : used as fuel

ii) cement : used in construction

Increasing the concentration of a reactant shifts the position of a chemical equilibrium towards formation of more products. wha
Natalija [7]
<h2>The required "option is e)".</h2>

Explanation:

  • The Rate of formation of products depends on the concentration of reactants or the forward reaction increases on increasing the rate of the concentration.
  • There is no effect on the equilibrium rate when the concentration of reactants and products is constant.
  • Forward reaction slows down when the reactant concentration is decreased.
  • On increasing the amount or concentration of reactant the chemical  equilibrium shifts towards formation of more products.
  • Hence, the forward reaction speeds up.

What is the product if an atom of Po-209<br> undergoes alpha decay?
g100num [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Lead-205 (Pb-205)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • An atom of Po-209

We are supposed to identify its product after an alpha decay;

  • Polonium-209 has a mass number of 209 and an atomic number of 84.
  • When an element undergoes an alpha decay, the mass number decreases by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
  • Therefore, when Po-209 undergoes alpha decay it results to the formation of a product with a mass number of 205 and atomic number of 82.
  • The product from this decay is Pb-205, because Pb-205 has a mass number of 205 and atomic number 82.
  • The equation for the decay is;

²⁰⁹₈₄Po → ²⁰⁵₈₂Pb + ⁴₂He

  • Note; An alpha particle is represented by a helium nucleus, ⁴₂He.
