At the end of 2012, global population was about 7.0 billion people. What mass of glucose in kg would be needed to provide 1200 c

al/person/day of nourishment to the global population for one year? Assume that glucose is metabolized entirely to CO₂(g) and H₂O(l) according to the following thermo-chemical equation: C₆H₁₂O₆(s)+6O₂(g)⟶6CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l); ΔH₀ = −2803kJ

The radioactive isotope of lead, Pb-209, decays at a rate proportional to the amount present at time t and has a half-life of 3.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Therefore it will take 7.66 hours for 80% of the lead decay.

Explanation:

The differential equation for decay is

$\frac{dA}{dt}= kA$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dA}{A}=kdt$

Integrating both sides

ln A= kt+c₁

$\Rightarrow A= e^{kt+c_1}$

$\Rightarrow A=Ce^{kt}$ [ $e^{c_1}=C$ ]

The initial condition is A(0)= A₀,

$\therefore A_0=Ce^{0.k}$

$\Rightarrow C=A_0$

$\therefore A=A_0e^{kt}$ .........(1)

Given that the $Pb_{209}$ has half life of 3.3 hours.

For half life $A=\frac12 A_0$ putting this in equation (1)

$\frac12A_0=A_0e^{k\times3.3}$

$\Rightarrow ln(\frac12)= 3.3k$ [taking ln both sides, $ln \ e^a=a$ ]

$\Rightarrow k=\frac{ln \frac12}{3.3}$

⇒k= - 0.21

Now A₀= 1 gram, 80%=0.8

and A= (1-0.8)A₀ = (0.2×1) gram = 0.2 gram

Now putting the value of k,A and A₀in the equation (1)

$\therefore 0.2=1e^{(-0.21)\times t}$

$\Rightarrow e^{-0.21t}=0.2$

$\Rightarrow -0.21t= ln(0. 2)$

$\Rightarrow t= \frac{ln (0.2)}{-0.21}$

⇒ t≈7.66

Therefore it will take 7.66 hours for 80% of the lead decay.

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, C9H8O4) is a weak monoprotic acid. To determine its acid-dissociation constant, a student dissolv

Triss [41]

Answer:

1. $3.57\times 10^{-4}$ was the $K_a$ value calculated by the student.

2. $5.93\times 10^{-4}$ was the $K_b$ of ethylamine value calculated by the student.

Explanation:

1.

The $pH$ value of Aspirin solution = 2.62

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=10^{-2.62}=0.00240 M$

Moles of s asprin = $\frac{2.00 g}{180 g/mol}=0.01111 mol$

Volume of the solution = 0.600 L

The initial concentration of Aspirin = c = $\frac{0.01111 mol}{0.600 L}=0.0185 M$

$HAs\rightleftharpoons As^-+H^+$

initially

c 0 0

At equilibrium

(c-x) x x

The expression of dissociation constant :

$K_a=\frac{[As^-][H^+]}{[HAs]}$ :

$K_a=\frac{x\times x }{(c-x)}$

$=\frac{0.00240 M\times 0.00240 M}{(0.0185-0.00240 )}$

$K_a=3.57\times 10^{-4}$

$3.57\times 10^{-4}$ was the $K_a$ value calculated by the student.

2.

The $pH$ value of ethylamine = 11.87

$pH+pOH=14$

$pOH=14-11.87=2.13$

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=10^{-2.13}=0.00741 M$

The initial concentration of ethylamine = c = 0.100 M

$C_2H_5NH_2+H_2O\rightleftharpoons C_2H_5NH_3^{+}+OH^-$

initially

c 0 0

At equilibrium

(c-x) x x

The expression of dissociation constant :

$K_b=\frac{[C_2H_5NH_3^{+}][OH^-]}{[C_2H_5NH_2]}$ :

$K_b=\frac{x\times x}{(c-x)}$

$=\frac{0.00741\times 0.00741}{(0.100-0.00741)}$

$K_b=5.93\times 10^{-4}$

$5.93\times 10^{-4}$ was the $K_b$ of ethylamine value calculated by the student.

What is the balanced form of the following equation? Br 2 + S 2 O 3 2– + H 2 O → Br 1– + SO 4 2– + H +

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

4Br₂+ 5H₂O+ S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8Br⁻

Explanation:

Br₂ + S₂O₃²⁻ + H₂O → Br⁻ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺

This is a redox reaction:

Br₂ changes the oxidation state from 0 to -1, so it was reduced

In the S₂O₃⁻² anion S changes the oxidation state from +2 to +6 in sulfate anion. (S₂O₃⁻², it is called thiosulfate)

We have protons in the main equation, so we assume we are in acidic medium:

Br₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Br⁻ Reduction

We balanced the bromide with 2, so the bromine has gained 2 electrons.

<u>5H₂O</u> + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + <u>10H⁺</u> + <em>8e</em>- Oxidation

First of all, we add 2 to the sulfate anion in the product side, in order to balance the S.

As we have 8 O in right side, and 3 O in left side, we must add 5 O. We add 5 water in the place where the O are lower (reactant side).

Now, we have 10 H, in the reactant side, so we balance the product side with protons (10 H⁺).

Sulfur changed the oxidation state from +2 to +6, so it released 4 electrons, but, if you see thiosulfate anion you have 2 sulfurs so finally it has released 8 electrons.

Electrons are unbalanced so we multiply reduction x4, and oxidation x1.

(Br₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Br⁻) . 4 = 4Br₂ + 8e⁻ → 8Br⁻

(5H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + <em>8e</em>-) . 1 = STAYS THE SAME.

We sum both half reactions, to cancel the elecetrons:

4Br₂ + 8e⁻ + 5H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + <em>8e</em>- + 8Br⁻

Finally the balanced reaction is: 4Br₂+ 5H₂O+ S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8Br⁻

An object has a density of 10.00 g/mL. If the object has a volume of<br> 25.00 ml, what is the mass?

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>250 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume of object = 25 mL

Density = 10 g/mL

The mass of the object is

mass = 25 × 10

We have the final answer as

<h3>250 g</h3>

Hope this helps you
