under certain water​ conditions, the free chlorine​ (hypochlorous acid,​ hocl) in a swimming pool decomposes according to the la

w of uninhibited decay. after shocking a​ pool, the pool​ boy, geoff, tested the water and found the amount of free chlorine to be 2.6 parts per million​ (ppm). twenty-four hours​ later, geoff tested the water again and found the amount of free chlorine to be 2.1 ppm. what will be the reading after 2 days​ (that is, 48 ​hours)

Answer:

1.7 ppm

Explanation:

Original amount N' = 2.6 ppm

time to testing t = 24 hr

final amount N = 2.1 ppm

Using exponential inhibited decay, we have

N = N'e^(-kt)

Where

N is the new reading

N' is the original reading

t is the decay time

k is the decay constant

Substituting, we have

2.1 = 2.6 x e^(-k x 24)

2.1 = 2.6 x e^(-24k)

0.808 = e^(-24k)

We take the natural log of both sides of the equation

Ln 0.808 = Ln (e^(-24k))

-0.213 = - 24k

K = 0.213/24 = 0.00886

After 48 hrs, the reading of free chlorine will be

N = 2.6 x e^(-0.00886 x 48)

N = 2.6 x e^(-0.425)

N = 2.6 x 0.654

N = 1.7 ppm

Determine if the results of the following word problem adhere to the Law of Conservation of Mass. 1. A chemist combines 4.9 g of
KiRa [710]

Answer: The results agree with the law of conservation of mass

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. On the reactant side, the total mass of reactants is 14.3g and the total product masses is also 14.3g. That implies that no mass was !most in the reaction. The sum of masses on the left hand side corresponds with sum of masses on the right hand side of the reaction equation.

An ideal gas in a 1.25-gallon container is at a temperature of 125 degrees Celsius and pressure of 2.5 atmospheres. If the gas i
Tresset [83]
You will need the equation PV = nRT

P = Pressure in kPa
V = Volume in L
n = moles
R = 8.314 (constant)
T = Temperature in Kelvin 

First convert 2.5 atm into kPa:

2.5 X 101.3 = 253.25 kPa

Convert 125 Celsius into Kelvin:

125 + 273 = 398 K

Convert Gallons to Litres:

1.25  X 3.79 = 4.74 L

Plug your values into the equation to solve for n:

(253.25)(4.74) = n(8.314)(398)

n = (253.25)(4.74)/(8.314)(398)

n = 0.362 moles

Now use M = m/n to solve for the mass of O2

M = Molar Mass 
M = mass
n= moles

32 = m/(0.362)

m = (32)(0.362) 

m = 11.58g
