Assume that you have developed a tracer with first-order kinetics and k = 0.1 s − 1 . For any given mass, how long will it take

anygoal [31]

Answer: It will take 6.93 sec for tracer concentration to drop by 50% and 13.9 sec for tracer concentration to drop by 75%

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $0.1s^{-1}$

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g

a - x = amount left after decay process

a) for tracer concentration to drop by 50%

a - x = amount left after decay process = 50

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{50}$

$t=\frac{0.693}{0.1}$

$t=6.93sec$

It will take 6.93 sec for tracer concentration to drop by 50%

b) for tracer concentration to drop by 75 %

a - x = amount left after decay process = 25

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-75}$

$t=\frac{2.303}{0.1}\times \log\frac{100}{25}$

$t=13.9sec$

It will take 13.9 sec for tracer concentration to drop by 75%.

The decomposition of nitrogen dioxide is described by the following chemical equation:

kow [346]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation will be " $NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O_{2}$ ".

Explanation:

The given equation is:

$2NO_{2}\rightarrow 2NO+O_{2}$

Step 1:

$2NO_{2}\rightarrow NO+O$ ...(equation 1)

Step 2:

$NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O_{2}$ ...(equation 2)

On adding "equation 1" and "equation 2", we get

⇒ $NO_{2}+NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O+NO+O_{2}$

⇒ $2NO_{2}\rightarrow 2NO+O_{2}$

The second step:

⇒ $NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O_{2}$

Are parts of the circulatory system .The , and

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The heart and the blood vessels are a part of the circulatory system. The blood vessels include the arteries, veins and capillaries. The lungs are considered to be the pulmonary part of the circulatory system. The heart is the cardiovascular part of the circulatory system and the vessels are the systemic part of the circulatory system. The main function of the circulatory system is to supply all parts of the body with oxygenated blood and to take away the deoxygenated blood from all parts of the body.

What is the pH of this solution?

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

pH = 11.216.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the ionization of ammonia in aqueous solution:

$NH_3+H_2O\rightleftharpoons NH_4^++OH^-$

We can set up its equilibrium expression in terms of x as the reaction extent equal to the concentration of each product at equilibrium:

$Kb=\frac{[NH_4^+][OH^-]}{[NH_3]} \\\\1.80x10^{-5}=\frac{x*x}{0.150-x}$

However, since Kb<<<1 we can neglect the x on bottom and easily compute it via:

$1.80x10^{-5}=\frac{x*x}{0.150}\\\\x=\sqrt{1.80x10^{-5}*0.150}=1.643x10^{-3}M$

Which is also:

$[OH^-]=1.643x10^{-3}M$

Thereafter we can compute the pOH first:

$pOH=-log(1.643x10^{-3}M)\\\\pOH=2.784$

Finally, the pH turns out:

$pH=14-2.784\\\\pH=11.216$

Regards!
