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

Which of the following statements regarding radiation are FALSE?
kari74 [83]

Answer:

All of the given statements are true.

Explanation:

All the elements are heavier than Bismuth (Bi) are radioactive.

The time for half of the original sample to spontaneous decay is called half life (t_{1/2})

t_{1/2}=\frac{ln\:2}{\lambda}\\\lambda\:is\:the\:radioactive\:decay\:constant

All radioactive elements are spontaneously decaying towards formation of a stable element.

Radioactive elements undergo decay in order to attain stability.

Radioactivity is a natural part of our environment. The earth also contains several primordial long-lived radioisotopes that have survived to the present in significant amounts.

Hence, all the given statements are true.
