The mercury-201 nuclide radioactively decays by electron capture. Write a balanced nuclear chemical equation that describes this

process.
Chemistry

ICE Princess25 [194]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Electron capture is a form of beta decay in which the nucleus of a radionuclide captures an electron. In the case of mercury-201, the equation below illustrates that

²⁰¹₈₀Hg + ⁰₋₁e   ⇒  ²⁰¹₇₉Au

As can be seen above, the electron capture reduces the atomic number by one unit leading to the production of a new radioisotope (because of the change in atomic number).

How did agre use a simple osmosis experiment to prove the function of aquaporin?
ElenaW [278]
<span>Agre tested his hypothesis in a simple experiment where he compared cells which contained the protein in question with cells which did not have it. The trials were ran with artificial cells, liposomes, which are a type of soap bubble. He found that the liposomes became permeable if the protein was planted inside of the membrane.</span>

Ethylenediamine (en) forms an octahedral complex with Ni2+(aq) with the formula [Ni(en)3]2+. Ni2+(aq) + 3 en ⇌ [Ni(en)3]2+(aq) K
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

3.125\times 10^{-19} mol/L is the concentration of Ni^{2+}(aq) in the solution.

Explanation:

Ni^{2+}(aq) + 3 en\rightleftharpoons [Ni(en)_3]^{2+}(aq)

Concentration of nickel ion = [Ni^{2+}]=x

Concentration of nickel complex= [[Ni(en)_3]^{2+}]=\frac{0.16 mol}{2 L}=0.08 mol/L

Concentration of ethylenediamine = [en]=\frac{0.80 mol}{2 L}=0.40 mol/L

The formation constant of the complex = K_f=4.0\times 10^{18}

The expression of formation constant is given as:

K_f=\frac{[[Ni(en)_3]^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+}][en]^3}

4.0\times 10^{18}=\frac{0.08 mol/L}{x\times (0.40 mol/L)^3}

x=\frac{0.08 mol/L}{4.0\times 10^{18}\times (0.40 mol/L)^3}

x=3.125\times 10^{-19} mol/L

3.125\times 10^{-19} mol/L is the concentration of Ni^{2+}(aq) in the solution.
