A city's water supply is contaminated with a toxin at a concentration of 0.63 mg/L. For the water to be safe for drinking, the c

oncentration of this toxin must be below 1.5 x 10-3 mg/L. Fortunately, this toxin decomposes to a safe mixture of products by first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.27 day–1 . How long will it take for the water to be safe to drink?

Answer:

Approximately 22.37 days, will it take for the water to be safe to drink.

Explanation:

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

k is rate constant

Given that:- k = 0.27 (day)⁻¹

[A_0] = 0.63 mg/L

[A_t]=1.5\times 10^{-3} mg/L

Applying in the above equation as:-

1.5\times 10^{-3}=0.63e^{-0.27\times t}

63e^{-0.27t}=150\times \:10^{-3}

e^{-0.27t}=\frac{1}{420}

t=\frac{100\ln \left(420\right)}{27}=22.37

<u>Approximately 22.37 days, will it take for the water to be safe to drink.</u>

Explain how the structure and bonding in bromine account for it's relatively low melting point.
svetlana [45]

Melting point is dependent on the intermolecular forces which means the bonds between the molecules of bromine as it is a simple molecular structure

Finger [1]
TLDR: the answer is C. 22,920 years.

Half-life describes the amount of time for a radioactive substance to decay to one-half of the original substance’s weight. So, if we had 100g of C-14, after 5,730 years, only 50g remain; after another 5,730 years, only 25g would remain, and so on.

In this problem, we are meant to assume that the original amount of C-14 was 64g, and that, through decay, it forms N-14. We can figure out how many half lives have passed by figuring out how much 4 is out of 64 by dividing 64 by two repeatedly. Each time, count a half life.

64 - 32 (1 HL) - 16 (2 HL) - 8 (3 HL) - 4 (4 HL)

In this problem, 4 half lives have passed. We can now multiply this by the time for one half life to find how many years have passed.

4 x 5,730 = 22,920 years

Approximately 22,920 years have passed since the drawing was created.

Although the element hydrogen is a non-metal, it is located on the left side
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Hydrogen's location is related to it's electron configuration not it's properties.

Even though hydrogen is gas it can be used as fuel in automobile because it is flammable

Match the following vocabulary 1. A hydrocarbon that contain no double or triple bonds alkene 2. A hydrocarbon that contain a do
dimaraw [331]
Hello! 

The matching is as follows

1) A carbon that contains no double or triple bonds - Alkane

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. "Saturated" means that each carbon atom has the maximum amount of hydrogen atoms possible and that no double or triple bonds exist. These are the most simple hydrocarbons. The general molecular formula for an alkane is C(n)H(2n+2). Some common alkanes include methane, ethane, propane, and butane. 

2) A hydrocarbon that contains a double bond-Alkene

Alkenes 
are unsaturated hydrocarbons ("unsaturated" in this case meaning that they have double bonds). Alkenes have a C=C bond. They are also called Olephines and are highly reactive, undergoing addition and elimination reactions. The general formula for alkenes is CnH2n. Some common alkenes include ethene (ethylene), propene and butadiene. 

3) A hydrocarbon that contains a triple bond-Alkyne

Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons ("unsaturated" in this case meaning that they have triple bonds). Alkenes have a C≡C bond and are soluble in nonpolar solvents They are more stable than alkenes. The general formula for alkynes is CnH2n-2. A common alkyne is acetylene (ethyne) which is used in the manufacturing of plastics and is a fuel for blowtorches. 

4) 
A characteristic atom or group of atoms that bond to hydrocarbons-Substituent.

Substituents are different from Functional groups in the sense that Substituents doesn't necessarily include atoms other than hydrogen and oxygen. Some common substituents are hydrocarbons too, for example, the tert-butyl group, or the phenyl group. When two functional groups are present in a molecule, the most oxidized one will act as the functional group and the less oxidized one will act as a substituent. 

5) 
An atom or group of atoms that replaces a hydrogen in a hydrocarbon-Functional Group

A Functional Group represents the difference between a hydrocarbon and other kinds of Organic Compounds. Functional groups allow compounds to react in different ways, by including atoms other than Carbon and Hydrogen. Some common functional groups include the Hydroxyl Group (-OH), the Oxo Group ( =O), the thiol group (-SH) or the amine group (-NH₂)

6) A compound made entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms-Hydrocarbon

The name "Hydrocarbon" says it all: These compounds are only composed of Hydrogen ("Hydro") and Carbon ("Carbon"). Keep in mind that this doesn't mean that hydrocarbons can't have complex structures since there are many with multiple branching or cycles, as Benzene, Naphthalene, Azulene and many more. Hydrocarbons are commonly found in crude oil. 

7) A fragment of a hydrocarbon formed by removing a hydrogen-Alkyl group

When removing an hydrogen, the hydrocarbon becomes a negative ion, and this ion has the ability to bond with positive (electrophilic) sites. For example, the most simple hydrocarbon, methane (CH₄), can lose a hydrogen atom to become methyl (CH₃⁻). Note the change in the nomenclature from alkanes to alkyl groups (The termination -ane changes for -yl). Some common alkyl groups are isopropyl, sec-butyl, and ethyl.
