Explanation:

The given data is:

The half-life of gentamicin is 1.5 hrs.

The reaction follows first-order kinetics.

The initial concentration of the reactants is 8.4 x 10-5 M.

The concentration of reactant after 8 hrs can be calculated as shown below:

The formula of the half-life of the first-order reaction is:

k=\frac{0.693}{t_1_/_2}

Where k = rate constant

t1/2=half-life

So, the rate constant k value is:

k=\frac{0.693}{1.5 hrs}

The expression for the rate constant is :

k=\frac{2.303}{t} log \frac{initial concentration}{concentration after time "t"}

Substitute the given values and the k value in this formula to get the concentration of the reactant after time 8 hrs is shown below:

\frac{0.693}{1.5 hrs} =\frac{2.303}{8 hrs} x log \frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y} \\ log \frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y} =1.604\\\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y}=10^1^.^6^0^4\\\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y}=40.18\\y=\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{40.18} \\=>y=2.09x10^-^6

Answer: The concentration of reactant remains after 8 hours is 2.09x10^-6M.

A 155.0 g piece of copper at 128 oC is dropped into 250.0 g of water at 17.9 oC. (The specific heat of copper is 0.385 J/goC.) C
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

T_{eq}=23.85^oC

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, as the copper's heat loss is gained by the water, the following energetic relationship is:

\Delta H_{Cu}=-\Delta H_{H_2O}

Therefore the equilibrium temperature shows up as:

m_{Cu}Cp_{Cu}(T_{Cu}-T{eq}) = m_{H_2O}Cp_{H_2O}(T_{eq}-T_{H_2O})\\\\T_{eq}=\frac{m_{Cu}Cp_{Cu}T_{Cu}-m_{H_2O}Cp_{H_2O}T_{H_2O}}{m_{Cu}Cp_{Cu}-m_{H_2O}Cp_{H_2O}} \\

Thus, by knowing that water's heat capacity is 4.18J/g°C, one obtains:

T_{eq}=\frac{155.0g*0.385\frac{J}{g^oC}*128^oC+250.0g*4.18\frac{J}{g^oC}*17.9^oC}{155.0g*0.385\frac{J}{g^oC}+250.0g*4.18\frac{J}{g^oC}}=23.85^oC

Best regards.

How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.360 kg of copper from 23.0 ∘C to 60.0 ∘C? The specific heat of co
AVprozaik [17]
MThe  heat  energy  required  to  raise  the  temperature   of  0.36Kg   of  copper   from   22 c   to  60  c  is  calculate  using  the  following  formula

MC delta T
m(mass)=  0.360kg  in  grams  =  0.360  x1000 = 360 g
  c(specific  heat  energy)  =  0.0920  cal/g.c
delta T =  60- 23  = 37  c

heat  energy is therefore=  360g   x0.0920 cal/g.c  x 37  c=  1225.44  cal
