Answer:
0.54 moles of N2
Explanation:
First remember to find the volume in moles, 1 mole equals 22.4 liters.
So now use the dimensional analysis to show your work.
12 liters of N2 * 1 mol /22.4 liters of N2
Now calculate this. 12 * 1/22.4 or 12/ 22.4
12/22.4 = 0.535714286.
12 has two significant digits.
With that, The answer rounds to 0.54.
So that the final answer is 0.54 moles.

Since the half life of the radioactive isotope is 4,000 years, after 4,000 years the amount of the isotope would decrease by half. (Hence the name, half life.) So, after 4,000 years, there would be half of the isotope left in the fossil.
hey there!:
A) Knowing theatre the protease is showing the highest activity at pH 4-6, implies that the amino acid that amino acid that it is acting in is an amino acid with a basic side chain. Therefore, the residues can be any one of the three basic amino acids being histidine, arginine or lysine , having basic side chains at neutral pH.
b) The mechanism of reaction of cysteine proteases is as follows:
First step in the reaction is the deprotonation of a thiol in the cysteine proteases's active site by an adjacent amino acid with a basic side chain, which might be a histidine residue. This is followed by a nucleophilic attack by the anionic sulfur of the deprotonated cysteine on the substrate carbonyl carbon.
Here, a part of the substrate is released with an amine terminus, restoring the His into a deprotonated form, thus forming a thioester intermediate, forming a link between the carboxy-terminal of the substrate and cysteine, resulting in thiol formation. Thus the name thiol proteases. The thioester bond is then hydrolyzed into a carboxylic acid moiety while again forming the free enzyme.
C) cysteine proteases have a pka of 8-9 but when they are deprotonated by a His residue, their pka would come down to 6-8, which would be their optimal pH for functioning. This is because there is a deprotonation of the thiol group , later restoring the HIS deprotonated form and then formation of a thioester bond. This thioester bond when hydrolysed will a carboxylate moeity , which is responsible for bringing the pH down towards a more acidic side.
d) at the optimal pH , the fraction of deprotonated cysteine and protonated B will be equal which will change with the change in pH.

This is one of the explanations I could think of,
Many reactions are incomplete and the reactants are not completely converted to products. Understandably due to loss in the process or inefficiency of the chemical reaction
