Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Metals contain valence electrons and these electrons are free to move from one place to another.

Therefore, due to the presence of mobile electrons metals can easily conduct electricity.

Thus, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity because there are free moving atoms in metals that carry both heat and electric current.

Elimination of the pharmaceutical IV antibiotic gentamicin follows first-order kinetics. If the half-life of gentamicin is 1.5 h

Genrish500 [490]

Explanation:

The given data is:

The half-life of gentamicin is 1.5 hrs.

The reaction follows first-order kinetics.

The initial concentration of the reactants is 8.4 x 10-5 M.

The concentration of reactant after 8 hrs can be calculated as shown below:

The formula of the half-life of the first-order reaction is:

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_1_/_2}$

Where k = rate constant

t1/2=half-life

So, the rate constant k value is:

$k=\frac{0.693}{1.5 hrs}$

The expression for the rate constant is :

$k=\frac{2.303}{t} log \frac{initial concentration}{concentration after time "t"}$

Substitute the given values and the k value in this formula to get the concentration of the reactant after time 8 hrs is shown below:

$\frac{0.693}{1.5 hrs} =\frac{2.303}{8 hrs} x log \frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y} \\ log \frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y} =1.604\\\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y}=10^1^.^6^0^4\\\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y}=40.18\\y=\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{40.18} \\=>y=2.09x10^-^6$

Answer: The concentration of reactant remains after 8 hours is 2.09x10^-6M.

A 3.82L balloon filled with gas is warmed from 204.9K to 304.8 K.

likoan [24]

Given :

A 3.82L balloon filled with gas is warmed from 204.9K to 304.8 K.

To Find :

The volume of the gas after it is heated.

Solution :

Since, their is no information about pressure in the question statement let us assume that pressure is constant.

Now, we know by ideal gas equation at constant pressure :

$\dfrac{V_1}{V_2} = \dfrac{T_1}{T_2}\\\\\dfrac{3.82}{V_2}= \dfrac{204.9}{304.8}\\\\V_2 = \dfrac{304.8}{204.9} \times 3.82\\\\V_2 = 5.68 \ L$

Hence, this is the required solution.
