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

What occurs along a convergent plate boundary ?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Two plates pull towards each other

Explanation:

Along a convergent plate boundary, two plates moves towards each other as the move in the same direction.

This results in different forms of plate interactions depending on the plate types.

  • At an ocean - ocean and continental - ocean convergent front, subduction of the oceanic plate occurs. This is because the oceanic plate below is denser than the asthenosphere.
  • At a continental - continental convergent front, the continental crust is pulls upward and build up as a mountain.
  • The subduction produces trenches and some volcanic islands.

Choose the solvent below that would show the greatest boiling point elevation when used to make a 0.10 m nonelectrolyte solution
postnew [5]

Answer is: 1) ccl4, kb = 29.9°c/m, carbon tetrachloride has the greatest boiling point elevation.

The boiling point elevation is directly proportional to the molality of the solution according to the equation: ΔTb = Kb · b.

<span> ΔTb -  the boiling point elevation.
Kb - the ebullioscopic constant.
b - molality of the solution.
So the highest boiling poing elevation will be for solution with highest ebullioscopic constant because molality is the same.</span>

How many milliliters of a 3.0 M HCL solution are required to make 250.0 millimeters of 1.2 M HCL?
White raven [17]
The problem above can be solved using M1V1=M2V2  where M1 is the concentration of the concentrated, V1 is the volume of the concentrated solution, M2 is the concentration of the Dilute Solution, V2 is the Volume of the dilute solution. Hence,

(3.0 M)(V2)=(250 mL)(1.2M)
V2 (3.0)= 300
V2= 100 mL

Therefore, you need 100 mL of 3.0 M HCl to form a 250 mL of 1.2 M HCl.
