Labels of many food products have expiration dates, at which point they are typically removed from the supermarket shelves. A pa

rticular natural yogurt degrades (reacts) with a half-life of 45 days. The manufacturer of the yogurt wants unsold product pulled from the shelves when it degrades to no more than 80% (0.8) of its original quality. Assume the degradation process is first order. What should be the "best if used before" date on the container with respect to the date the yogurt was packaged?

Answer:

Explanation:

Since it first order, we use order rate equation

In ( \frac{A1}{A0}) = -kt where A1 is the final quality = 0.8 (80%), A0 is the initial quality = 1 ( 100%)

also, t half life = \frac{In2}{k} where k is rate constant

k = \frac{In 2}{45 days} = 0.0154

In ( \frac{0.8}{1}) = - 0.0154 t

-0.223 / -0.0154 = t

t = 14.49 approx 14.5 days from the date the yogurt was packaged

How many molecules of ammonia (NH3) are contained in 10 moles of NH3? Please provide the work if you could :)
nlexa [21]
<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles. We do as follows:

 </span>10 mol NH3 ( 6.022 x 10^23 molecules / 1 mol ) = 6.022x10^24 molecules NH3

Why doesn’t the KHP concentration have to be exactly 0.100M? Explain using complete sentences.
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The answer is in the explanation.

Explanation:

The KHP is an acid used as standard in titrations to find concentration of bases as NaOH.

The reaction that explain this use is:

KHP + NaOH → KNaP + H2O

<em>where 1 mole of KHP reacts per mole of NaOH</em>

That means, at equivalence point of a titration in which titrant is NaOH, the moles of KHP = Moles of NaOH added

With the moles of KHP = Moles of NaOH and the volume used by titrant we can find the molar concentration of NaOH.

The moles of KHP are obtained from the volume and the concentration as follows:

Volume(L)*Concentration (Molarity,M) = moles of KHP

If the concentration is more or less than 0.100M, the moles will be higher or lower. For that reason, we need to know the concentration of KHP but is not necessary to be 0.100M.

what is the concentration in ppm of a solution which is prepared by dissolving in 15mg of nacl in 200ml water
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

In weight/volume (w/v) terms,

   1 ppm = 1g m-3 = 1 mg L-1 = 1 μg mL-1

200 mL = 0.2 L

15 / 0.2 mg L-1 =75 ppm

An element forms an oxide, E₂O₃, and a fluoride, EF₃.(b) How does the group to which E belongs affect the properties of the oxid
xz_007 [3.2K]

Of all the elements, fluorine is the most electronegative and reactive. Fluorine is a diatomic, pale yellow, extremely corrosive, combustible gas with a strong smell. The lightest halogen is it. It produces oxygen and the incredibly corrosive hydrofluoric acid when it combines strongly with water.

<h3>The properties of the oxide and the fluoride?</h3>
  • 1. A mixture of oxygen fluorides with an atomic ratio OF in the range of 1.1-2.04 is generated when fluorine and oxygen mixes are easily circulated through a silent electric discharge.
  • Depending on where you reside in the UK, fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that is present in water in variable concentrations. It is added to many types of toothpaste and, in some locations, the water supply through a procedure known as fluoridation because it can aid in the prevention of tooth decay.
  • Fluoride stops tooth decay by strengthening the enamel's resistance to acid attack. They also quicken the process of good minerals accumulating in the enamel, further delaying the onset of deterioration. Studies also suggest that fluoride may occasionally be able to stop tooth decay that has already begun.
