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

If 2,035 cal of heat is added to a 500.0 g sample of water at 35.0°C, what is the final
Lynna [10]

Answer:

39.1 °C

Explanation:

Recall the equation for specific heat:

q=mc \Delta T\\

Where q is the heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat of the substance (in this case water), and delta T is the change in temperature.

You should know that the specific heat of water is 1 cal/g/C.

Using the information in the question:

2035=500(1)(T-35)\\2035=500T-17500\\500T=19535\\T=39.07

The final temperature is about 39.1 °C.

Describe a method to calculate the average atomic mass of the sample in the previous question using only the atomic masses of li
alexira [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate their average atomic masses which is otherwise known as the relative atomic mass, we simply multiply the given abundances of the atoms and the given atomic masses.

The abundace is the proportion or percentage or fraction by which each of the isotopes of an element occurs in nature.

This can be expressed below:

        RAM = Σmₙαₙ

where mₙ is the mass of isotope n

           αₙ is the abundance of isotope n

for this problem:

RAM of Li = m₆α₆ + m₇α₇

       m₆ is mass of isotope Li-6

        α₆ is the abundance of isotope Li-6

       m₇ is mass of isotope Li-7

        α₇ is the abundance of isotope Li-7
