Two chemicals A and B are combined to form a chemical C. The rate, or velocity, of the reaction is proportional to the product o

f the instantaneous amounts of A and B not converted to chemical C. Initially, there are 40 grams of A and 50 grams of B, and for each gram of B, 2 grams of A is used. It is observed that 20 grams of C is formed in 10 minutes. How much (in grams) is formed in 20 minutes? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answer:

  32.1 g

Step-by-step explanation:

In each 3 grams of C, there are 2 grams of A and 1 gram of B. So, for some amount C, the amount remaining of A is 40 -(2C/3), and the amount remaining of B is (50 -C/3). Since the reaction rate is proportional to the product of these amounts, we have ...

  C' = k(40 -2C/3)(50 -C/3) = (2k/9)(60 -C)(150 -C) . . . for some constant k

This is separable differential equation with a solution of the form ...

  ln((150 -C)/(60 -C)) = at + b

We know that C(0) = 0, so b=ln(150/60) = ln(2.5). And we know that C(10) = 20, so ln(130/40) = 10a +ln(2.5) ⇒ a = ln(1.3)/10

Then our equation for C is ...

  ln((150 -C)/(60 -C)) = t·ln(1.3)/10 +ln(2.5)

__

For t=20, this is ...

  ln((150 -C)/(60 -C)) = 2ln(1.3) +ln(2.5) = ln(2.5·1.3²) = ln(4.225)

Taking antilogs, we have ...

  (150 -C)/(60 -C) = 4.225

  1 +90/(60 -C) = 4.225

  C = 60 -90/3.225 ≈ 32.093 . . . . . grams of product in 20 minutes

In 20 minutes, about 32.1 grams of C are formed.

QveST [7]
Umm this should be in physics but F is proportional to 1/r^2 I am assuming you want to just take the derivative in respect to r of both sides of the equation

 F = (2.99x10^16)/r^2
So you do that and you get 
dF/dr = -2(2.99 * 10 ^16)/ (r^3)

is this for calc class?

Examine the linear equation. 8x – y = –6 Choose the slope-intercept form of the equivalent equation:
alexdok [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form can be obtained by solving for y.

8x-y=-6

-8x

-y=-8x-6

divide by negative 1 to turn y positive.

y=8x+6

Can someone smart help me with this question plz:)
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

K = 50

L = 90

KML = 40

LMN = 140

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle will always be 180 degrees, and in the triangle pictured, we know the value of each angle. We can say that

5x + 4x + 9x = 180

18x = 180

x = 10

Now that we know the value of x, we can figure out the value of the angles.

K = 5x = 50

L = 9x = 90

KML = 4x = 40

A straight line is 180 degrees, so to find angle KMN, you have to subtract KML (4x) from 180

180 - 4x = 180 - 40 = 140

Consider the given function.
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

D)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 -14x -72

0=x^2 - 14x-72

0=x^2 - 18x+4x-72

0=x(x-18)+4(x-18)

0=(x-18)(x+4)

x-18=0 or x+4=0

x1=18 or x2=-4

asis of symmetry: x=(x1+x2)/2

x=(18+(-4))/2

x=14/2

x=7
