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

One number exceeds another by 5 the sum of the numbers is 37 . What are the numbers
Eduardwww [97]
One number = x
Another number = y

x = y + 5
x + y = 37

(y + 5) + y = 37
2y + 5 = 37
2y = 32
y = 16

x = (16) + 5
x = 21

The numbers are 16 and 21.

Solve the inequality. 7x − 9 > 2x + 6
Flura [38]
<h3><u>The value of x is greater than the value of 3.</u></h3>

We can treat inequalities like standard algebraic equations.

7x - 9 > 2x + 6

<em><u>Add 9 to both sides.</u></em>

7x > 2x + 15

<em><u>Subtract 2x from both sides.</u></em>

5x > 15

<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>

x > 3

The manufacturer of the ColorSmart-5000 television set claims 95 percent of its sets last at least five years without needing a
patriot [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Your study variable is X: "number of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use, in a sample of 390"

X~Bi (n;ρ)

ρ: population proportion of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use. ρ = 0.95

n= 390

x= 303

sample proportion ^ρ: x/n = 303/390 = 0.776 ≅ 0.78

Applying the Central Limit Theorem you approximate the distribution of the sample proportion to normal to obtain the statistic to use.

You are asked to estimate the population proportion of televisions that didn't require repairs with a confidence interval, the formula is:

^ρ±Z_{1-\alpha /2}* √[(^ρ(1-^ρ))/n]

Z_{1-\alpha /2} = Z_{0.995} = 2.58

0.78±2.58* √[(0.78(1-0.78))/390]

0.0541

[0.726;0.834]

With a confidence level of 99% you'd expect that the interval [0.726;0.834] contains the true value of the proportion of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use.

I hope it helps!
