Hypochlorous acid decays in the presence of ultraviolet radiation. Assume that degradation occurs accord- ing to first-order kin

etics and the rate of degradation was measured to be 0.12 day−1 (at a particular sun- light intensity and temperature). Given this, how long does it take for the concentration of hypochlorous acid to reach nondetectable levels (0.05 mg · L−1) if the initial concentration were 3.65 mg · L−1?

Answer:

35.75 days

Explanation:

From the given information:

For first-order kinetics, the rate law can be expressed as:

\mathsf{In \dfrac{C}{C_o} = -kt}

Given that:

the rate degradation constant = 0.12 / day

current concentration C = 0.05 mg/L

initial concentration C₀ = 3.65 mg/L

\mathsf{In( \dfrac{0.05}{3.65})= -(0.12) t}

㏑(0.01369863014) = -(0.12) t

-4.29 = -(0.12)

t = -4.29/-0.12

t = 35.75 days

Answer: Boyle's Law

-----

Boyle's Law is the pressure-volume law and it relates pressure and volume at constant temperature. Boyle's law states that pressure and volume vary inversely, meaning that as one goes up, the other one goes down.

Density is a derived unit of mass / volume.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

1kg/L

Explanation:

1.) convert grams to kilograms

1000g÷1000=1kg

2.)use formula to find density

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}

= 1kg/1.0L

=1kg/L
