Explain what a concentration gradient is and what it means for a molecule to diffuse down its

Answer:

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

Explanation:

A gradient of concentration is the difference between in concentration of one place / area substance to different area. Having a molecule flow down its concentration gradient means moving the molecules from hypotonic areas to the concentration hypertonic areas

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

A certain first-order reaction is 58% complete in 95 s. What are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this proc

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$0.005734 s^{-1}$ and 20.86 seconds are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this process respectively..

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$a_o=a\times e^{-kt}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

$a_o$ = let initial amount of the reactant

a = amount left after decay process

We have :

$a_o=x$

$a=58\%\times x=0.58x$

t = 95 s

$0.58x=x\times e^{-k\times 95 s}$

$\k= 0.005734 s^{-1}$

Half life is given by for first order kinetics::

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$=\frac{0.693}{0.005734 s^{-1}}=120.86 s$

$0.005734 s^{-1}$ and 20.86 seconds are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this process respectively..

What happens to the gravitational force between two objects when their distance is changed?

kykrilka [37]

If they become closer, it is increased, and if the objects become farther away is decreased.

The momentum of a 0.1 kg object traveling at 2000 m/s is 20,000 kg·m/s. True or False

Alina [70]

That's false.

The definition of momentum is (mass) x (speed), so they must be multiplied.

"20,000 kg-m/s" has the correct units resulting from multiplication, but the number could only be the result of division.

What is the current in a 160V circuit if the resistance is 2Ω? V= I= R =

sveta [45]

Answer:

80 amperes

Explanation:

Current in the circuit = ?

Voltage in the circuit = 160 Volts

Resistance = 2 Ω

Voltage = Current x Resistance

V = IR

160V = I x 2 Ω

I = 160V / 2 Ω

I = 80 Amperes

Therefore the current in the circuit is 80 amperes :)
