12 grams(g) of a chemical are added to a metal. The amount A, in grams, of the chemical remaining during a reaction with a metal

plate decreases by 0.5g per second. If instead the plate were dissolved, the amount A', in grams, of chemical remaining would decrease by half of itself every 4 seconds. How many grams greater is A than A' after 12 seconds?

Answer:

A is 4.5grams greater than A'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial amount of chemical, A₀ = 12g

In simple step by step terms,

If the chemical dissolves, the amount reduces by 0.5g/s.

In 12s, amount that has dissolved = 12 × 0.5 = 6g and the amount remaining, A = 12 - 6 = 6g.

If the metal dissolves, the amount reduces by half of its weight every 4 seconds. But 12 seconds has three 4 seconds.

In 4 seconds, 12 g of chemical reduces by half of 12 = 6g. And amount remaining, A' = 12 - 6 = 6g.

In another 4 seconds, 6g of chemical reduces by half of 6 = 3g. Amount of chemical remaining, A' = 6 - 3 = 3g

In the final 4 seconds, 3 g of chemical reduces by half of = 1.5g. Amount of chemical remaining finally, A' = 3 - 1.5 = 1.5g

difference in the amount left from the two cases = A - A' = 6 - 1.5 = 4.5g

If the rate of reaction analysis method to this question is required;

The two key pieces of information given in the question gives the rate of reaction in form of amount of reactant chemical remaining for the two cases.

If the chemical dissolves,

The amount of chemical left at any time is A.

The rate of reaction in g/s = -0.5g/s

dA/dt = -0.5

dA = -0.5dt

Integrating the left hand side from A₀ to A, and the right hand side from 0 to t

A - A₀ = -0.5t

A = A₀ - 0.5t

For the 2nd case if the metal plate is dissolving,

The amount of chemical left at any time is A'

Half-Life = 4 secs

k = (In 2)/(half life) = (In 2)/4 = 0.1733/s

dA'/dt = -0.1733A'

dA'/A' = -0.1733 dt

Integrating from A₀ to A' and from 0 to t

In (A'/A₀) = -0.1733t

A'/A₀ = e⁻⁰•¹⁷³³ᵗ

A' = A₀e⁻⁰•¹⁷³³ᵗ

After t = 12s,

A = A₀ - 0.5t = 12 - 0.5(12) = 12 - 6 = 6g

A' = A₀e⁻⁰•¹⁷³³ᵗ = 12e⁻⁰•¹⁷³³⁽¹²⁾ = 12 × 0.125 = 1.5g

The difference in mass = A - A' = 6 - 1.5 = 4.5g

Hope this helps!!!

Answer:

1/8 grams(g)

Step-by-step explanation: From the illustration, the amount, A, to decrease by 0.5g, can be given as: A = 12g - 0.5g = 11.5g

After 4 seconds: A = 11.5g/2

After 8 seconds: A = 11.5g/4

After 12 seconds: A = 11.5g/8

∴ 1/8 grams greater than A after 12 seconds

Jane is 5 times older than her sister. In 3 years, Jane’s sister will be 1/4 her age. Find the ages now
Korolek [52]

The present age of Jane is 45 years old and present age of her sister is 9 years old

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the present age of Jane be "x"

Let the present age of her sister be "y"

<em><u>Jane is 5 times older than her sister</u></em>

present age of Jane = 5(present age of her sister)

x = 5y ---------- eqn 1

<em><u>In 3 years, Jane’s sister will be 1/4 her age</u></em>

Age of sister after 3 years = 3 + y

Age of jane after 3 years = 3 + x

Age of sister after 3 years = 1/4(age of jane after 3 years)

3 + y = \frac{1}{4}(3 + x)

Substitute eqn 1 in above equation

3 + y = \frac{1}{4}(3 + 5y)\\\\12 + 4y = 3 + 5y\\\\5y - 4y = 12 - 3\\\\y = 9

Substitute y = 9 in eqn 1

x = 5(9)

x = 45

Thus present age of Jane is 45 years old and present age of her sister is 9 years old
