(a)
Interpretation:
Probable mode of decay for the given radioactive isotope has to be predicted and equation for the given radioactive isotope has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
In this radioactive decay process the unstable isotopes loses their energy by emitting radiation. It is converted to stable isotopes. The emitting radiations are positron emission, gamma emission, beta emission and electron capture.
In beta decay, there will be a lose of electron from nucleus (neutron turns into proton): there will be no change in mass number and
(b)
Interpretation:
Probable mode of decay for the given radioactive isotope has to be predicted and equation for the given radioactive isotope has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
In this radioactive decay process the unstable isotopes loses their energy by emitting radiation. It is converted to stable isotopes. The emitting radiations are positron emission, gamma emission, beta emission and electron capture.
In alpha decay, there will be lose of
(c)
Interpretation:
Probable mode of decay for the given radioactive isotope has to be predicted and equation for the given radioactive isotope has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
In this radioactive decay process the unstable isotopes loses their energy by emitting radiation. It is converted to stable isotopes. The emitting radiations are positron emission, gamma emission, beta emission and electron capture.
In beta decay, there will be a lose of electron from nucleus (neutron turns into proton): there will be no change in mass number and atomic number increases by one.
(d)
Interpretation:
Probable mode of decay for the given radioactive isotope has to be predicted and equation for the given radioactive isotope has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
In this radioactive decay process the unstable isotopes loses their energy by emitting radiation. It is converted to stable isotopes. The emitting radiations are positron emission, gamma emission, beta emission and electron capture.
A positron is like an electron but it has a positive charge.
During a positron emission a proton changes into a neutron and the excess positive charge is emitted.

- 5. Propose a Synthesis for the molecule below. You may use any starting materials containing 6 carbons or less (reagents that aren't incorporated into the final molecule such as PhзP do not count towards this total, and the starting material can have whatever non-carbon functional groups you want), and any of the reactions you have learned so far in organic chemistry I, II, and III. Your final answer should show each step separately, with intermediates and conditions clearly drawn.

- The molar absorptivity of a protein in water at 280 nm can be estimated within ~5-10% from its content of the amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan and from the number of disulfide linkages (R-S-S-R) between cysteine residues: Ε280 nm (M-1 cm-1) ≈ 5500 nTrp + 1490 nTyr + 125 nS-S where nTrp is the number of tryptophans, nTyr is the number of tyrosines, and nS-S is the number of disulfide linkages. The protein human serum transferrin has 678 amino acids including 8 tryptophans, 26 tyrosines, and 19 disulfide linkages. The molecular mass of the most dominant for is 79550. Predict the molar absorptivity of transferrin. Predict the absorbance of a solution that’s 1.000 g/L transferrin in a 1.000-cm-pathlength cuvet.
