Answer:

C. A neutron turns into a proton

D. An electron is ejected from the nucleus

Explanation:

  • Beta decay is a type of the three major types of decays, others being alpha decay and gamma decay.
  • During a beta decay the atomic number of an atom increases by one while the mass number remains the same.
  • Beta decay may be classified as; an electron emission, positron emission and electron capture.
  • <em><u>During electron emission an energetic electron is emitted from the nucleus, together with an antineutrino and a neutron in the nucleus turns into a proton. </u></em>

An enzyme with molecular weight of 310 kDa undergoes a change in shape when the substrate binds. This change can be characterize
oee [108]

Answer:

(a) r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

(b) r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

Explanation:

Using the sedimentation coefficient formula;

s =  M(1-Vρ) / Nf ; where s is sedimentation coefficient, M is molecular weight, V is specific volume of protein, p is density of the solvent, N is Avogadro number, f if frictional force = 6πnr, n is viscosity of the medium, r is radius of particle

s = M ( 1 - Vρ) / N*6πnr

making r sbjct of formula, r =  M (1 - Vρ) / N*6πnrs

Note: S = 10⁻¹³ sec, 1 KDalton = 1 *10³ g/mol, I cP = 0.01 g/cm/s

r = {(3.1 * 10⁵ g/mol)(1 - (0.732 cm³/g)(1 g/cm³)} / { (6.02 * 10²³)(6π)(0.01 g/cm/s)(11.7 * 10⁻¹³ sec)

r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

b. Using the formula r₂/r₁ = s₁/s₂

s₂ = 0.035 + 1s₁ = 1.035s₁

making r₂ subject of formula; r₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / s₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / 1.035s₁

r₂ = 6.3 * 10⁻⁷cm / 1.035

r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

Equal numbers of moles of He(g), Ar(g), and Ne(g) are placed in a glass vessel at room temperature. If the vessel has a pinhole-
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

VP as function of time => VP(Ar) > VP(Ne) > VP(He).

Explanation:

Effusion rate of the lighter particles will be higher than the heavier particles. That is, the lighter particles will leave the container faster than the heavier particles. Over time, the vapor pressure of the greater number of heavier particles will be higher than the vapor pressure of the lighter particles.

=> VP as function of time => VP(Ar) > VP(Ne) > VP(He).

Review Graham's Law => Effusion Rate ∝ 1/√formula mass.

What does it mean when a mineral has a definite chemical composition?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

For a substance to classify as a mineral, it must lie within certain parameters. It should be an inorganic solid, that is naturally occurring in nature (not synthesized), with an ordered internal structure and a definite chemical composition.

By definite chemical composition, geologists mean that the mineral must be have chemical constituents that have an unvarying chemical composition, or a chemical composition that oscillates withing a very limited and specific range.

An example is the mineral, halite. It has a chemical composition of one sodium atom and one chloride atom, represented as NaCl and is unchanging in this composition throughout nature.

The common constituent in all acid solutions is
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

H+/H3O , H2O

Explanation:

The ability to be a proton donor is the Bronsted-Lowry definition of acids. The Lewis definition of an acid is an electron pair acceptor, which covers molecules liKE BF3

The ability to accept a pair of electrons is what is common to all acids, not the ability to be a proton donor.

All acid solutions contain hydronium ions (H3O+), hydroxide ions (OH-) and water molecules. Each different acid solution will then have an anion that is exclusive to that acid. For example, hydrochloric acid solution will contain all of the above and chloride ions (Cl-).

All acids contain the acidic substance dissolved in water. Water naturally dissociates to a small amount, creating hydronium and hydroxide ions. But most of the water remains as water molecules.

Then when we add an acid, like HCl, the oxygen on the water attracts the hydrogen from the HCl. The electrons in the covalent bond remain with the chlorine, giving it a negative charge and thus it becomes the chloride ion (Cl-). The hydrogen now has a positive charge and as said before, is attracted to the water (specifically the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen) to create hydronium ions.

This creates extra hydronium ions, making the solution acidic. But remember, there are still water molecules, hydroxide ions and the negative ion all in solution for all acids.

What evidence do you have that atoms of certain elements produce a flame of a specific color?

Light acts as a wave so when you burn a certain element it generates a specific wavelength which represents a specific color light. ^-^
