There are 4 ways: first letter, first 2 letters, first and third letter, or a derivative of the original element name

The chemical symbol of an element is determined by the language used to abbreviate the element. Most chemical symbols use abbreviations of the English name for the element, such as "O" for oxygen, "H" for hydrogen or "Ar" for argon.

Air containing 0.04% carbon dioxide is pumped into a room whose volume is 6000 ft3. The air is pumped in at a rate of 2000 ft3/m

koban [17]

Here is the full question:

Air containing 0.04% carbon dioxide is pumped into a room whose volume is 6000 ft3. The air is pumped in at a rate of 2000 ft3/min, and the circulated air is then pumped out at the same rate. If there is an initial concentration of 0.2% carbon dioxide, determine the subsequent amount in the room at any time.

What is the concentration at 10 minutes? (Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

0.046 %

Explanation:

The rate-in;

$R_{in}$ $= \frac{0.04}{100}*2000$

$R_{in}$ = 0.8

The rate-out

$R_{out}$ = $\frac{A}{6000}*2000$

$R_{out}$ = $\frac{A}{3}$

We can say that:

$\frac{dA}{dt}=$ $0.8-\frac{A}{3}$

where;

A(0)= 0.2% × 6000

A(0)= 0.002 × 6000

A(0)= 12

$\frac{dA}{dt} +\frac{A}{3} =0.8$

Integration of the above linear equation =

$e^{\int\limits \frac {1}{3}dt } =$ $e^{\frac{1}{3}t$

so we have:

$e^{\frac{1}{3}t}\frac{dA}{dt}} +\frac{1}{3}e^{\frac{1}{3}t}A$ $= 0.8e^{\frac{1}{3}t$

$\frac{d}{dt}[e^{\frac{1}{3}t}A]$ $= 0.8e^{\frac{1}{3}t$

$Ae^{\frac{1}{3}t} =2.4e\frac{1}{3}t +C$

∴ $A(t) = 2.4 +Ce^{-\frac{1}{3}t$

Since A(0) = 12

Then;

$12 =2.4 + Ce^{-\frac{1}{3}}(0)$

$C= 12-2.4$

$C =9.6$

Hence;

$A(t) = 2.4 +9.6e^{-\frac{t}{3}}$

$A(0) = 2.4 +9.6e^{-\frac{10}{3}}$

$A(t) = 2.74$

∴ the concentration at 10 minutes is ;

= $\frac{2.74}{6000}*100$ %

= 0.0456667 %

= 0.046% to three decimal places

A radioactive material, with half-life of six months, has 100 thousand unstable nuclei.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given that;

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

Where;

No = amount of radioactive isotope originally present

N = A mount of radioactive isotope present at time t

t = time taken

t1/2 = half life

N/1000=(1/2)^3/6

N/1000=(1/2)^0.5

N = (1/2)^0.5 * 1000

N= 707 unstable nuclei

Since the value of the initial activity of the radioactive material was not given, the activity of the radioactive material after three months is given by;

Decay constant = 0.693/t1/2 = 0.693/6 months = 0.1155 month^-1

Hence;

A=Aoe^-kt

Where;

A = Activity after a time t

Ao = initial activity

k = decay constant

t = time taken

A = Aoe^-3 *0.1155

A=Aoe^-0.3465
