Answer:

a. 0.0192 ppm, and b. 8.70×10^{-7}

Explanation:

a. Calculation of parts per million (PPM) of SO2

The concentration of SO2 according to the question is 25 micrograms (ug) per 1 cubic meter (m3), so we need to convert both values to the same mass unit in order to calculate the parts per million. In this case, we will convert both values to grams:

25 ug = 25×10^{-6} g ......(i)

1 m3 = 1,000 L, but the density of the air is 1.3 g/L, so 1 L weighs 1.3 g. Using a rule of three:

1 L → 1.3 g

1,000 L → ?

? = 1,300 g

So, 1 m3 (cubic meter) of air weighs 1,300 g ......(ii)

Now we can calculate the parts per million by dividing the number of grams of SO2 (i) times the number of grams of air (ii) times 10^{6}:

PPM = (25×10^{-6} g)/(1,300 g)×10^{6} = 0.0192 ppm

b. Calculation of moles of SO2 per 100 mol of air

As we do not have any temperature mentioned in the question, we can not use the ideal gas equation to calculate the number of moles of air. So we will use the average weight of a mol of air, that is 28.97 g/mol

From (ii) we know that 1 m3 weighs 1,300 g, so we can apply a rule of three to get the number of moles we have in 1 m3:

28.97 g → 1 mol

1,300 g → ? moles of air

? = 1,300/28.97 = 44.874 moles of air

Also, from (i) we know that in 1 m3 of air we have 25×10^{-6} g of SO2. This amount can be expressed in moles by using the molar mass of SO2 that is 64 g/mol (S=32, O=16 and 32+2×16 = 64), using a rule of three:

64 g → 1 mol

25×10^{-6} g → ? moles of SO2

? = 3.91×10^{-7} moles of SO2

Now, we can calculate the moles of SO2 per 100 moles of air by doing the following:

moles of SO2 per 100 moles of air = (3.91×10^{-7})/(44.874)×100 = 8.70×10^{-7}

Demand decreases and competition increases are factors that cause a shift in the quantity supplied (true or false)
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer is: true.

Demand decreases and competition increases decrease the quantity supplied.

Quantity supplied is the quantity of a commodity that producers are willing to sell at a particular price at a particular point of time.

Quantity demanded is the quantity of a commodity that people are willing to buy at a particular price at a particular point of time.

Quantity demanded can change at the same price depending upon factors like recession, changes in the taste of the consumer.

Competition is rivalry between two or more economic groups.

A certain first-order reaction (a→products) has a rate constant of 9.60×10−3 s−1 at 45 ∘c. how many minutes does it take for the
Alexxandr [17]

The integrated rate law expression for a first order reaction is

ln\frac{[A_{0}]}{[A_{t}]}=kt

where

[A0]=100

[At]=6.25

[6.25% of 100 = 6.25]

k = 9.60X10⁻³s⁻¹

Putting values

ln\frac{100}{6.25}=9.6X10^{-3}t

taking log of 100/6.25

100/6.25 = 16

ln(16) = 2.7726

Time = 2.7726 / 0.0096 = 288.81  seconds

When a nucleus undergoes nuclear decay by gamma rays the atomic number of the element?
kifflom [539]
I believe that when a nucleus undergoes a nuclear decay by gamma rays the atomic number of element remains the same. Atomic number is the number of protons of a given atom of an element. Gamma decay unlike alpha and beta decay does not have an effect on the mass number and atomic number of an atom.
