Answer:

1.25 gram of cesium-137 will remain.

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of cesium-137 = 30 year

Mass of cesium-137 = 5.0 g

Mass remain after 60 years = ?

Solution:

Number of half lives passed = Time elapsed / half life

Number of half lives passed = 60 year / 30 year

Number of half lives passed = 2

At time zero = 5.0 g

At first half life = 5.0 g/2 = 2.5 g

At 2nd half life = 2.5 g/ 2 = 1.25 g

Thus. 1.25 gram of cesium-137 will remain.

In a sample of oxygen gas at room temperature, the average kinetic energy of all the balls stays constant. Which postulate of ki
Levart [38]

Answer:

Collisions between gas particles are elastic; there is no net gain or loss of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

When a gas is paced in a container, the molecules of the gas have little or no intermolecular interaction between them. There is a lot of space between the molecules of the gas.

The gas molecules move at very high speed and collide with each other and with the walls of container.

The collision of these particles with each other is perfectly elastic hence the kinetic energy of the colliding gas particles do not change.

murzikaleks [220]

The given question is incomplete. The image present in the question for Reaction A is attached below along with the answer.

Explanation:

Pyruvate molecule reacts with Coenzyme A in the presence of oxygen and it results in the formation of acetyl Coenzyme A and carbon dioxide.

The enzyme pyruvae dehydrogenase helps in catalyzing this reaction. As in this biochemical reaction NAD^{+} gets converted into NADH.

This reaction is shown in the image attached below.
