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

Which is the most likely to be reduced?
NISA [10]

Answer : The correct option is, Zn^{2+}

Explanation :

  • Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. That means, the loss of electrons takes place.

Or we can say that, oxidation reaction occurs when a reactant losses electrons in the reaction.

  • Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. That means, the gain of electrons takes place.

Or we can say that, reduction reaction occurs when a reactant gains electrons in the reaction.

According to the electrochemical series, Zn^{2+} most likely to be reduced because

Hence, the ion most likely to be reduced is Zn^{2+}.

If 25 mL of a HCl solution of unknown concentration was neutralized with 10 mL of a 0.30 M NaOH solution, what was the original
QveST [7]

Answer:

0.12 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

NaOH + HCl ⇒ NaCl + H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of NaOH

10 mL of a 0.30 M NaOH solution react.

0.010L \times \frac{0.30mol}{L} = 3.0 \times 10^{-3} mol

Step 3: Calculate the reacting moles of HCl

The molar ratio of NaOH to HCl is 1:1. The reacting moles of HCl are 1/1 × 3.0 × 10⁻³ mol = 3.0 × 10⁻³ mol.

Step 4: Calculate the concentration of HCl

3.0 × 10⁻³ mol of HCl are in 25 mL of solution.

M = \frac{3.0 \times 10^{-3} mol}{0.025L} = 0.12 M
