When Americium (Am-241) undergoes alpha decay(He-4) it forms neptunium (Np-237) based on the following pathway:
²⁴¹Am₉₅ → ²³⁷Np₉₃ + ⁴He₂
The energy released in given as:
ΔE = Δmc²
where Δm = mass of products - mass of reactants
= [m(Np-237) + m(He-4)] - [m(Am-241)]
= 237.0482+4.0015-241.0568 = -0.0073 g/mol = -7.3 * 10⁻⁶ kg/mol
ΔE = -7.3*10⁻⁶ kg/mol * (3*10⁸ m/s)² = -5.84*10¹¹ J/mol
Answer:
The sum of an object's potential and kinetic energies is called the object's mechanical energy. As an object falls its potential energy decreases, while its kinetic energy increases. The decrease in potential energy is exactly equal to the increase in kinetic energy
Thank you and please rate me as brainliest as it will help me to level up
Answer:
Serine will be on the exterior of the globular protein while leucine on the interior of the globular proteins
Explanation:
The nature or solubility of the side cham determines the poition of amino acid on the globular protein and it is either hydrophilic or hydrophobic.
Serine is an hydrophilic amino acid and so it is position on the surface of the globular protein (Exterior)
While Leucine side chain is hydrophobic in nature is positioned on the interior of the globular protein.
When an atom of the unstable isotope Na-24 decays, it becomes an atom of Mg-24 because the Na-24 atom spontaneously releases (2) a<span> beta particle</span>.
