For this problem, we use the integrated rate law for first order radioactive decay which is expressed as follows:<span>

An = Aoe^-kt

where An is the amount left after time t, Ao is the initial amount and k is a constant. 

We need to calculate first the value of k from the given ration An/Ao and the time it reached that ration. We do as follows:

An = Aoe^-kt
0.46= e^-k(9)
k = 0.0863 / day

At half life, the remaining substance would be equal to one-half of the original so that An/Ao would be equal to 1/2 or 0.50. We calculate the half-life as follows:</span>

<span>
An = Aoe^-kt
0.50 = e^-0.0863(t)
<span>t = 8.03 days</span></span>

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

H_{comb}=-4406kJ/mol

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the enthalpy of combustion is understood as the energy released when one mole of fuel, in this case octene, is burned in the presence of oxygen and is computed with the enthalpies of formation of the fuel, carbon dioxide and water as shown below (oxygen is circumvented as it is a pure element):

H_{comb}=8*\Delta _fH_{CO_2}+5\Delta _fH_{H_2O}-\Delta _fH_{C_8H_{10}}

Thus, since we already know the enthalpy of combustion of the fuel, for carbon and water we have -393.5 and -241.8 kJ/mol respectively, thereby, the enthalpy of combustion turns out:

H_{comb}=8*(-393.5kJ/mol)+5(-241.8kJ/mol)-49.0kJ/mol\\\\H_{comb}=-4406kJ/mol

Best regards.

. Guillermo was finding it difficult to walk up the steps to his family’s apartment. His doctor thinks that his cells might not
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Because oxygen is the combustion  fuel and glucose  is the substrate needed for synthesis of energy as ATPs during cellular respiration.Therefore Guillermo lacks enough energy as ATPs in her  body cells, especially skeletal muscles cells to complete the task of ascending the s steps.

For all the mitochondrial in cells(sites of energy production)   to receive needed glucose,and other metabolites needed for  energy synthesis; an efficient transport system is needed, so that  these materials   are available  immediately, in required amount. This system is called circulatory system.

And for the the supply of combustion fuel (oxygen) needed for the completion of the ATP synthesis mechanisms;  respiratory systems which  convey oxygen from the external environments to the circulatory system through breathing mechanisms, for distribution is needed.

Thus the  doctor needs to test both the circulatory and respiratory systems.
