Answer:

(a) 133.33nm

(b) 600nm

(c) 7,600nm

Explanation:

The concentration of Y can be determined by using the formula:

Y = \dfrac{[L]}{k_d+[L]}

where;

[L] = concentration of the binding ligand.

kd = 400 nm

Thus:

When Y = 0.25; we get :

0.25 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}

0.25 (400 + [L]) = [L]

100 + 0.25[L] = [L]

100 = [L] - 0.25 [L]

100 = 0.75 [L]

[L] = 100/0.75

[L] = 133.33 nm

At, Y = 0.6

0.6 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}

0.6 (400 + [L]) = [L]

240 + 0.6[L] = [L]

240 = [L] - 0.6 [L]

240 = 0.4 [L]

[L] = 240/0.4

[L] = 600 nm

At, Y = 0.95

0.95 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}

0.95 (400 + [L]) = [L]

380 + 0.95[L] = [L]

380 = [L] - 0.95 [L]

380 = 0.05 [L]

[L] = 380/0.05

[L] = 7600 nm

What is the half life of the graphed material?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

3 hours

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question given above, it is important we know the definition of half-life.

The half-life of a substance is simply defined as the time taken for half the substance to decay.

Considering the diagram given above, the initial mass of the substance is 100 g.

Half of the initial mass = 100 / 2 = 50 g

Now, we shall determine the time from the graph taken to get to 50 g.

Considering the diagram given above, the time taken to get to 50 g is 3 hours.

Therefore, the half-life of the material is 3 hours.
