If a substance has a half life of 58 years and starts with 500 g radioactive, how much remains radioactive after 30 years?
1 answer:
Answer:
A = 349 g.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since the radioactive decay kinetic model is based on the first-order kinetics whose integrated rate law is:
We can firstly calculate the rate constant given the half-life as shown below:
Therefore, we can next plug in the rate constant, elapsed time and initial mass of the radioactive to obtain:

Answer:
The answer is E. All of the statements describe the anomeric carbon.
Explanation:
When a sugar switches from its open form to its ring form, the carbon from the carbonyl (aldehyde if it is an aldose, or a ketone in the case of a ketose) suffers a nucleophilic addition by one of the hydroxyls in the chain, preferably one that will form a 5 or 6 membered ring after the reaction.
As such, the anomeric carbon will have two oxygens attached (The original one and the one that bonded when the ring closed).
It will be chiral, given that it has 4 different groups attached. (-OR,-OH,-H and -R, where R is the carbon chain).
The hydroxyl group can be in any position (Above of below the ring), depending on with side the addition took place. (See attachment)
It is the carbon of the carbonyl in the open-chain form of the sugar, because it is the only one that can react with the Hydroxyls.
