<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear control rods are defined as the rods which are used in nuclear reactor plants to control the fission rate of uranium and plutonium.

These rods are made up of few chemical elements like boron, silver, indium and cadmium. These rods have the capability of absorbing many neutrons without getting fissioned itself.

Thus, from the above information, the correct answer comes out to be Option D.

A) Calculate the standard free-energy change at 25 ∘C for the following reaction:
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

A) ΔG° = -3,80x10⁵ kJ

B) E° = 2,85V

Explanation:

A) It is possible to answer this problem using the standard ΔG's of formation. For the reaction:

Mg(s) + Fe²⁺(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + Fe(s)

The ΔG° of reaction is:

ΔG° = ΔGFe(s) + ΔGMg²⁺(aq) - (ΔGFe²⁺(aq) + ΔGMg(s) <em>(1)</em>

Where:

ΔGFe(s): 0kJ

ΔGMg²⁺(aq): -458,8 kJ

ΔGFe²⁺(aq): -78,9 kJ

ΔGMg(s): 0kJ

Replacing in (1):

ΔG° = 0kJ -458,8kJ - (-78,9kJ + okJ)

<em>ΔG° = -3,80x10² kJ ≡ -3,80x10⁵ kJ</em>

B) For the reaction:

X(s) + 2Y⁺(aq) → X²⁺(aq) + 2Y(s)

ΔG° = ΔH° - (T×ΔS°)

ΔG° = -629000J  - (298,15K×-263J/K)

ΔG° = -550587J

As ΔG° = - n×F×E⁰

Where n are electrons involved in the reaction (<em>2mol</em>), F is faraday constant (<em>96485 J/Vmol</em>) And E° is the standard cell potential

Replacing:

-550587J = - 2mol×96485J/Vmol×E⁰

<em>E° = 2,85V</em>

I hope it helps!

A nitric acid solution flows at a constant rate of 5L/min into a large tank that initially held 200L of a 0.5% nitric acid solut
leonid [27]

Answer:

x(t) = −39e

−0.03t + 40.

Explanation:

Let V (t) be the volume of solution (water and

nitric acid) measured in liters after t minutes. Let x(t) be the volume of nitric acid

measured in liters after t minutes, and let c(t) be the concentration (by volume) of

nitric acid in solution after t minutes.

The volume of solution V (t) doesn’t change over time since the inflow and outflow

of solution is equal. Thus V = 200 L. The concentration of nitric acid c(t) is

c(t) = x(t)

V (t)

=

x(t)

200

.

We model this problem as

dx

dt = I(t) − O(t),

where I(t) is the input rate of nitric acid and O(t) is the output rate of nitric acid,

both measured in liters of nitric acid per minute. The input rate is

I(t) = 6 Lsol.

1 min

·

20 Lnit.

100 Lsol.

=

120 Lnit.

100 min

= 1.2 Lnit./min.

The output rate is

O(t) = (6 Lsol./min)c(t) = 6 Lsol.

1 min

·

x(t) Lnit.

200 Lsol.

=

3x(t) Lnit.

100 min

= 0.03 x(t) Lnit./min.

The equation is then

dx

dt = 1.2 − 0.03x,

or

dx

dt + 0.03x = 1.2, (1)

which is a linear equation. The initial condition condition is found in the following

way:

c(0) = 0.5% = 5 Lnit.

1000 Lsol.

=

x(0) Lnit.

200 Lsol.

.

Thus x(0) = 1.

In Eq. (1) we let P(t) = 0.03 and Q(t) = 1.2. The integrating factor for Eq. (1) is

µ(t) = exp Z

P(t) dt

= exp

0.03 Z

dt

= e

0.03t

.

The solution is

x(t) = 1

µ(t)

Z

µ(t)Q(t) dt + C

= Ce−0.03t + 1.2e

−0.03t

dt

= Ce−0.03t +

0.03

e

−0.03t

e

0.03t

= Ce−0.03t +

1.2

0.03

= Ce−0.03t + 40.

The constant is found using x(t) = 1:

x(0) = Ce−0.03(0) + 40 = C + 40 = 1.

Thus C = −39, and the solution is

x(t) = −39e

−0.03t + 40.
