Answer:

Wavelength (typically measured in nanometers) is the distance between two points in a wave.Frequency (typically measured in Hertz) is the number of waves in a specific time . Frequency and wavelength have both direct and inverse relationships. The crucial difference between frequency and wavelength is that frequency shows the total number of wave oscillations in a given time. As against wavelength specifies the distance between two specific points of a wave.

Explanation:

Frequency is how often something changes per second be it amplitude of a voltage on a wire or be it the bobbing back and forth of a bobblehead. Frequency is how often something moves up and down in a second. If a bobble head moves forward and backward in one second then it has a bobbling frequency of 1 Hertz (Hz). The unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz) or # of cycles or oscillations per second. A wavelength is measured in distance like meters (m). For photons or light or radiowaves the equation is wavelength=speed of light/frequency.

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

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

How and why do ionic bonds form?

babymother [125]

Ionic bonds are formed when one of the two atoms that are reacting has excess electrons and transfer the electrons to the atom that is deficient in electrons. During the formation of the ionic bond, one of the reacting atoms will donate electrons and form positive ion.
