A Geiger counter measures 750 counts in 5.0 min. How long would you want to count to get a relative error of 1%?
A radioactive source is producing 1.50 MeV gamma rays. If two detectors are placed 4.00 m and 7.00 m away respectively, what is the ratio of the measured intensities of the near detector over the far detector (I2/I1)? Do NOT include units in your answer answer to 2 decimal places.
The rate of a simple enzyme reaction is given by the standard Michaelis–Menten equation:
rate = Vmax [s]/([s] + KM)
if the Vmax of an enzyme is 100 μmole/sec and the KM is 1 mM, at what substrate concentration is the rate 50 μmole/sec? Plot a graph of rate versus substrate (s) concentration for [s] = 0 to 10 mM. Convert this to a plot of 1/rate versus 1/[s]. Why is the latter plot a straight line?
