What are the products of beta-minus decay?
Beta minus decay results in the emission of an electron and an element with one additional proton when compared to the original
When can one expect to see effects of radiation within a community on cancer prevalence?
Mutations from radiation exposure can take an extended amount of time, over three years, to manifest and result in diagnosable cancer.
When sort of forces are experienced when an object is undergoing a turning acceleration?
A vertical normal force (F=mg) and a horizontal acceleration force (F=ma) that must be considered when determining the net force experienced by the turning object
How do you determine the number of moles of a substance present in an analyte solution?
An analyte solution refers to a solution undergoing a titration, so to know how many moles of a given substance were originally present, one must look to the equivalence point of the titration curve
What are the effects of a competitive inhibitor on an enzyme’s Km and Vmax?
When a competitive inhibitor is present, Km of an enzyme increases and Vmax of an enzyme is unchanged
What is an important quality of diatomic nitrogen gas?
Diatomic nitrogen is an extremely inert molecule and highly unreactive, and therefore can be used as the atmosphere during controlled experiments to minimize side reactions.
Where do the carbonyl, alcohol, and alkene functional groups have their peaks on an IR spectrum?
A carbonyl has an IR peak between 1700-1750 cm^-1; an alcohol has an IR peak between 3200-3500 cm^-1; an alkene has an IR peak between 1580-1640 cm^-1
When going through the electron transport chain, do electrons move to speies with more positive or less positive reduction potential?
Within the electron transport chain, electrons move from species with less positive electron potential to those with more positive reduction potential
What is useful work, and what happens to the energy available that is not utilized for useful work?
Useful work is that which is performing some sort of important biological process, and efficiency is the amount of useful work done compared to the energy available. What is not used for useful work is often lost as heat energy.
Does total internal reflection occur when a ray of light travels from high to low index of refraction or low to high index of refraction?
Total internal reflection only occurs when a ray of light begins in a higher index of a refraction and travels to a lower incidence of refraction.
What is the relationship between the energy required for a chemical reaction and the time the reaction takes to occur?
As the amount of energy required to perform a chemical reaction increases, so does the time that it takes for the chemical reaction to occur
What is the relationship between relative stabilization energy and the degree to which a substituent stabilizes a molecule?
As the relative stabilization energy of a substituent becomes more negative, the more stabilizing it is for the group it is bonded to
What is Hess’ Law?
ΔH reaction = (the sum of Hf for products) - (the sum of Hf for reactants)
Are electron withdrawing groups stabilizing or destabilizing to a carbocation and why?
Electron withdrawing groups are often destabilizing because of their electronegativity drawing electron density away from a carbocation.
How does increasing organization impact delta S?
The formation of a more organized compound from standard state materials corresponds to a decrease in entropy and therefore a negative delta S
How does minimum shear rate relate to the time it takes for a vesicle to detach from a wall?
The largest minimum shear rate value leads to a vesicle that will take the longest time to detach from a wall.
What state of matter are most metal oxides at standard temperature?
The majority of metal oxides are solid at standard temperature.
What cell structure helps to transport phagosomes to the lysosome?
Microtubules are necessary for transporting phagosomes to the lysosome.
What is the effect on entropy when the number of moles of gas within a system decreases?
When moving from a higher number of gas molecules to a lower number of gas molecules, a system becomes more ordered, and therefore entropy decreases and the entropy change is negative
What is sulfuric acid, and what anion does it use? What is sulfurous acid and what ion does it use? What is hydrosulfuric acid and what ion does it use?
Sulfuric acis id H2SO4, made from the sulfate ion. Sulfurous acid is H2SO3, made from the sulfite ion. Hydrosulfuric acid is H2S, from the sulfide (S2-) ion.
What happens to the pressure of a reaction vessel when inert gas is added? What happens to the partial pressures of the reactants and products? How does equilibrium shift?
When inert gas is added to a reaction vessel, the total pressure increases, but the partial pressure of all of the reactants and products is not changed. Therefore, the equilibrium is unaffected.
What are the potential values for Keq?
Keq is always a positive value because the concentrations of reactants and products are always positive.
What characteristic of a compound’s valence electrons makes it more likely to become a radical?
A radical species is a species with one or more unpaired electrons, and generally this requires there to be an odd number of valence electrons.
How do you determine the rate law from a slow step if the slow step involves and intermediate?
If the slow step of a reaction has an intermediate as a reactant or product, you must use the fast step to solve for the concentration of that intermediate in terms of the forward and reverse rate laws and the other compound present.
What is the equation for the kcat of an enzyme?
kcat = Vmax/[E]
Which amino acids will best mimic an amino acid with a phosphorylated hydroxyl group?
Negatively charged amino acid side chains, such as aspartate (ASP, D) and glutamate (Glu, E) are the best representation/most similar to a phosphorylated hydroxyl group
What is an atom’s coordination number?
A coordination number is the number of atoms, ions, or molecules that a central atom or ion holds as its neighbors
What is Ksp? What sort of chemical reaction does it correspond to?
Ksp is the solubility constant of a species, so the equation it comes from is the dissociation of a molecule into its constituent ions
What is systolic pressure? Is it the numerator of the denominator of a blood pressure reading?
The systolic pressure is determined from the first sound of blood flow that can be heard once the pressure exerted by the inflatable cuff falls below the pressure in the artery. Systolic pressure is the numerator of a blood pressure reading.
What is the equation for power consumed?
Power consumed = (change in Potential Energy) / time
What is the work required to stretch a string by a displacement of x?
Work for stretching a spring = (1/2)kx^2
Do diverging lenses have a positive or negative focal length?
Diverging lenses have a negative focal length.
What is an important consideration to make sure that the results from a kinetics experiment are valid?
For a kinetics experient, it is valuable to make sure that the colution maintains its homogenous state and that the enzyme does not adhere to the walls of the container or other surfaces which may limit its activity.
What direction does force need to occur in in order to promote fracture?
For a fracture to occur, the bone should be experiencing force along its axis
How do you find displacement in the y direction for a projectile motion problem with known t?
For projectile motion problems, to get final displacement in the y direction for a known distance, you can use only one kinematic equation instead of having to break it into before it reached its peak height and after. Use delta y = v(initial, y)*t +1/2at^2
What forces is an object experiencing while it is at equilibrium? What is the net force on it?
When an object is at rest or at equilibrium, the net force it experiences is 0N, but this takes into account all of the tensions/forces it is physically experiencing as well as gravity
What does the slope of a linear graph of displacement versus time represent?
The slope of a linear graph of displacement versus time is velocity.
If a car is traveling with constant velocity, is its acceleration constant, zero, both, or neither?
A constantly zero acceleration is still a constant acceleration, so an object moving with constant velocity has both a zero and a constant acceleration.
What does it mean for an object to be at rotational equilibrium? Where should the pivot point be placed?
When an object is at rotational equilibrium, its net torques are equal to zero. The pivot point must be placed somewhere where there can be both clockwise and counterclockwise torques experienced.
What effects do the biceps and triceps respectively have on the angle of the arm?
The biceps are the muscles which reduce the angle between the upper and lower portions of the arm. The triceps increase the angle of the arm.
What is the magnitude of the force of static friction that an object experiences when a force is applied to it that is lesser in magnitude than its maximal static friction?
When a force is applied to an object, the force of static friction that it experiences is only equal to the force applied, up until the force applied exceeds the maximum value for static friction (usN)
How is mass a factor in the transfer of energy between potential and kinetic?
If mass is unchanged during transfer of energy between potential and kinetic, it cancels out from both sides of the equation and is not relevant

-
What is conductance?
Conductance is the inverse of resistance, so its units can be derived accordinagly.
What occurs when a dielectric is added to a capacitor?
Introducing a dielectric into a capacitor decreases the total electric field strength between the two plates, which decreases the voltage, which increases the capacitance. It still stores the same amount of charge, but at a lower voltage.
How do you find the radius of a charge when it enters a magnetic field perpendicular to its path?
To find the relationship/movement of a charge when it enters a magnetic field perpendicular to its path which will lead it to begin circular motion, set the force of the magnetic field (qvB) equal to the centripetal force (mv^2/r) to find r=mv/qB
