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

The volume of a sample of oxygen is 200.0 mL when the pressure is 3.000 atm and the temperature is 37.0 oC. What is the new temp
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

V1 = 200 ml

T1 = 20 °C

= 20 + 273

= 293 K

P1 = 3 atm

P2 = 2 atm

V2 = 400 ml

Using ideal gas equation,

P1 × V1/T1 = P2 × V2/T2

T2 = (2 × 400 × 293)/200 × 3

= 234400/600

= 390.67 K

= 390.67 - 273

= 117.67 °C

What is a colligative property?
V125BC [204]
<span>Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend on the number of molecules [or ions] in a given volume of solvent and not on the properties (e.g. size or mass) of the compound. Colligative properties include: lowering of vapor pressure; elevation of boiling point; depression of freezing point and osmotic pressure.</span>

In order to reduce the exposure to organic solvents like turpentine, some art instructors recommend the students clean brushes a
kykrilka [37]
Generally speaking, organic molecules tend to dissolve in solvents that have similar physical properties. A good rule of thumb is that "like dissolves like". Meaning, polar compounds can dissolve polar compounds and nonpolar compounds can dissolve nonpolar compounds.

To apply this to the current problem, we are told that the brushes are being cleaned with vegetable oil or mineral oil. In this case, the oils are used as solvents. In order for these solvents to be effective, the compounds they are trying to dissolve must be similar in structure and properties to other oils. Therefore, vegetable oil or mineral oil will be most effective in removing oil-based paints, as these will have the similar properties needed to dissolve in the oil solvents.
