Answer:

The time is 2.8 ms.

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitor = 0.12 μF

Resistance = 10 kohm

Voltage = 12 V

Charge Q = 0.9 Q₀

We need to calculate the time constant

Using formula of time constant

$T=RC$

Put the value into the formula

$T=10\times10^{3}\times0.12\times10^{-6}$

$T=0.0012\ sec$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

$Q=Q_{0}(1-e^{\frac{-t}{T}})$

Put the value into the formula

$0.9Q_{0}=Q_{0}(1-e^{\frac{-t}{0.0012}})$

$ln (0.1)=\dfrac{-t}{0.0012}$

$t=0.00276\ sec$

$t=2.8\ ms$

Hence, The time is 2.8 ms.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Resistance = 400000 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 1200 V

Current = 3 mA = 3/1000 = 0.003 A

To find the resistance;

Voltage = current * resistance

Resistance = 1200/0.003

Resistance = 400000 Ohms

A sample of Bismuth-212 has a mass of 2.64 grams (g) after 121 seconds (s). What was the initial mass of the sample if Bismuth-2

uysha [10]

The mass of a radioactive element at time t is given by
$m(t) = m_0 ( \frac{1}{2} )^{ \frac{t}{t_{1/2}} }$
where $m_0$ is the mass at time zero, while $t_{1/2}$ is the half-life of the element.

In our problem, $m(t)=2.64 g$ , t=121.0 s and $t_{1/2}=60.5 s$ , so we can find the initial mass $m_0$ :
$m_0= \frac{m(t)}{ (\frac{1}{2})^{t/t_{1/2}} } = \frac{2.64 g}{( \frac{1}{2} )^{121/60.5}} =4 \cdot 2.64 g=10.56 g$

xConsider the following reduction potentials: Cu2+ + 2e– Cu E° = 0.339 V Pb2+ + 2e– Pb E° = –0.130 V For a galvanic cell employi

slega [8]

Answer:

Approximately $\rm 90\; kJ$ .

Explanation:

Cathode is where reduction takes place and anode is where oxidation takes place. The potential of a electrochemical reaction ( $E^{\circ}(\text{cell})$ ) is equal to

$E^{\circ}(\text{cell}) = E^{\circ}(\text{cathode}) - E^{\circ}(\text{anode})$ .

There are two half-reactions in this question. $\rm Cu^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Cu$ and $\rm Pb^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Pb$ . Either could be the cathode (while the other acts as the anode.) However, for the reaction to be spontaneous, the value of $E^{\circ}(\text{cell})$ should be positive.

In this case, $E^{\circ}(\text{cell})$ is positive only if $\rm Cu^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Cu$ is the reaction takes place at the cathode. The net reaction would be

$\rm Cu^{2+} + Pb \to Cu + Pb^{2+}$ .

Its cell potential would be equal to $0.339 - (-0.130) = \rm 0.469\; V$ .

The maximum amount of electrical energy possible (under standard conditions) is equal to the free energy of this reaction:

$\Delta G^{\circ} = n \cdot F \cdot E^{\circ} (\text{cell})$ ,

where

$n$ is the number moles of electrons transferred for each mole of the reaction. In this case the value of $n$ is $2$ as in the half-reactions.
$F$ is Faraday's Constant (approximately $96485.33212\; \rm C \cdot mol^{-1}$ .)

$\begin{aligned}\Delta G^{\circ} &= n \cdot F \cdot E^{\circ} (\text{cell})\cr &= 2\times 96485.33212 \times (0.339 - (-0.130)) \cr &\approx 9.0 \times 10^{4} \; \rm J \cr &= 90\; \rm kJ\end{aligned}$ .
