Answer:

A) Partial Pressure of dry air = 13.32 KPa

Partial Pressure of water vapour = 1.332 KPa

B) Humidity ratio; X = 0.0691

C) V_p = 0.8384 m³/Kg

Explanation:

A) We are given;

Temperature = 75°F

Relative Humidity = 45%

Now,to calculate the partial pressure, we will use the relationship;

Relative Humidity = (Partial Pressure/Vapour Pressure) × 100%

Making partial pressure the subject;

Partial Pressure = Relative Humidity × Vapour Pressure/100%

From the first table attached, at temperature of 75°F, the vapor pressure is 29.6 × 10^(-3) bar = 29.6 KPa

Thus;

Partial Pressure of dry air = (45 × 29.6)/100

Partial Pressure of dry air = 13.32 KPa

From online values, vapour pressure of water vapour at 75°F = 2.96 KPa

Thus;

Partial Pressure of water vapour = (45 × 2.96)/100 = 1.332 KPa

B) humidity ratio of moist air is given as;

X = 0.62198 pw / (pa - pw)  

where;

pw = partial pressure of the water vapor in moist air

pa = atmospheric pressure of the moist air

Thus;

X = (0.62198 × 1.332)/(13.32 - 1.332)  

X = 0.0691

C) Formula for moist air specific volume is;

V_p = (1 + (xRw/Ra) × RaT/p

Where;

V_p is specific volume

T is temperature = 75°F = 297.039 K

p is barometric pressure which in this case is standard sea level pressure = 101.325 KPa

pw is partial pressure of the water vapor in moist air = 1.332 KPa

Rw is individual gas constant for water = 0.4614 KJ/Kg.K

Ra is individual gas constant for air = 0.2869 KJ/Kg.K

V_p = (1 + (0.0691 * 0.4614/0.2869)) × 0.286.9 * 297.039/101.325

V_p = 0.8384 m³/Kg

Calculate the molar mass for oxygen gas
Sladkaya [172]

For example, the atomic mass of an oxygen atom is 16.00 amu; that means the molar mass of an oxygen atom is 16.00 g/mol. Further, if you have 16.00 grams of oxygen atoms, you know from the definition of a mole that your sample contains 6.022 x 10^23 oxygen atoms.

Iodine-131 is administered orally in the form of NaI(aq) as a treatment for thyroid cancer. The half-life of iodine-131 is 8.04
evablogger [386]

Answer:

16.6 mg

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the rate constant (k) for Iodine-131 decay

We know the half-life is t1/2 = 8.04 day. We can calculate the rate constant using the following expression.

k = ln2 / t1/2 = ln2 / 8.04 day = 0.0862 day⁻¹

Step 2: Calculate the mass of iodine after 8.52 days

Iodine-131 decays following first-order kinetics. Given the initial mass (I₀ = 34.7 mg) and the time elapsed (t = 8.52 day), we can calculate the mass of iodine-131 using the following expression.

ln I = ln I₀ - k × t

ln I = ln 34.7 - 0.0862 day⁻¹ × 8.52 day

I = 16.6 mg
