Answer:
1694 days
Explanation:
In first-order kinetics, the rate is proportional to the amount.
dA/dt = kA
For first-order kinetics, the rate k can be found using the half-life:
t₁,₂ = (ln 2) / k
In other words, the half-life is inversely proportional with the rate.
At the lower temperature, the rate is reduced to a third, so the half-life increases by a factor of 3. Meaning that the new half-life is 170 × 3 = 510 days.
The "shelf life" is the time it takes to reduce the initial amount to 10%. We can solve for this using the half-life equation.
A = A₀ (½)^(t / t₁,₂)
A₀/10 = A₀ (½)^(t / 510)
1/10 = (½)^(t / 510)
ln(1/10) = (t / 510) ln(½)
ln(10) = (t / 510) ln(2)
ln(10) / ln(2) = t / 510
t = 510 ln(10) / ln(2)
t ≈ 1694
Answer: Because of the fine bore of the tube.
Explanation:
Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness. And thermometer is the instrument use to measure temperature.
The two most common types of themometric fluids for thermometer are alcohol and mercury.
What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature is because of the fine bore of the tube which makes it possible for small temperature changes to cause large changes in the length of mercury columns, making the thermometer very sensitive to temperature changes.
The most prominent feature of the thermometer is the kink or constriction of bore near the bulb.
Answer:
Explanation:
Take at look to the picture I attached you, using Kirchhoff's current law we get:
This is a separable first order differential equation, let's solve it step by step:
Express the equation this way:
integrate both sides, the left side will be integrated from an initial voltage v to a final voltage V, and the right side from an initial time 0 to a final time t:
Evaluating the integrals:
natural logarithm to both sides in order to isolate V:
Where the term RC is called time constant and is given by:
i'm stuck on that question also
