Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

The concentration of  high-pressure side is  C_1 =   0.722 \ kg/m^3

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The thickness of the polyethylene is  d  =  1.5 \ mm = 0.0015 \ m

     The  temperature is  T  =  600 \   K

      The flux is  JA  =  2.48 *10^{-5} \  kg/m^2\cdot s

      The concentration on the low-pressure side is  C_2 =  0.5 \ kg/m^3

       The initial diffusivity  is  D_o  =  6.2 *10^{-4} \ m^2 /s

       The activation energy for  diffusion is   Q_d  =  41 \ kJ /mol  =  41*10^3 J /mol

Generally the diffusivity  of the oxygen at 600 K can be  mathematically evaluated  as

        D   = D_o * e^{- \frac{Q_d}{R * T  } }  

substituting values  

         D   = 6.2*10^{-4} * e^{- \frac{41 *10^3}{8.314 * 600  } }  

          D   = 1.671 *10^{-7} \ m^2 /s  

Generally the flux is mathematically represented as

          JA  =  D  *  \frac{C_1 -C_2}{d}

Where C_1 is the concentration of oxygen at the higher side

       So  

             C_1 =    d  * \frac{JA}{D}  + C_2

substituting values  

             C_1 =    0.0015   * \frac{2.48*10^{-5}}{1.671*10^{-7}}  + 0.5

              C_1 =   0.722 \ kg/m^3

The radioisotope radon-222 has a half life of 3.8 days. How much of a 10 gram sample of radon-222 would be left after 15.2 days?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

0.625 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of radon-222 = 3.8 days

Total mass of sample = 10 g

Mass left after 15.2 days = ?

Solution:

Number of half lives = T elapsed / Half life

Number of half lives = 15.2 / 3.8

Number of half lives = 4

At time zero = 10 g

At first half life = 10 g/2 = 5 g

At 2nd half life = 5 g/ 2= 2.5 g

At third half life = 2.5 g/2 = 1.25 g

At 4th half life = 1.25 g/2 = 0.625 g
