(10 points) A basement (with volume V) in a residence is found to be contaminated with radon coming from the ground through the floor drains. The concentration of radon in the room is [Co] under steady-state conditions. The room behaves as a CSTR, and the decay of radon is a firstorder reaction with a decay rate constant of [k]. a. Now the condition changes: The source of radon is closed off but there is no ventilation. What is the equation that describes the concentration of radon in the basement with time [Ct]

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\mathbf{C_{Out} = C_o \ exp \Big [ - \Big ( \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{V}{Q} } + k \Big) t \Big ] }[/tex]

Explanation:

The equation that describes the concentration of the radon in the basement with time Ct is;

[tex]\mathbf{C_{Out} = C_o \ exp \Big [ - \Big ( \dfrac{1}{\theta} + k \Big) t \Big ] }[/tex]

where;

[tex]C_o[/tex] = concentration of the radon

[tex]C _ {Out}[/tex] = allowable radon concentration

k = decay rate constant

= theoretical detention

t = time needed to lower the radon concentration

The theoretical detention [tex]\theta =\dfrac{V}{Q}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{C_{Out} = C_o \ exp \Big [ - \Big ( \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{V}{Q} } + k \Big) t \Big ] }[/tex]

A mixture of cyclopropane (C3H6) and oxygen (O2) is sometimes used as a general anesthetic. In a mixture, the partial pressures of cyclopropane and oxygen are 170. torr and 570. torr, respectively. Calculate the ratio of the moles of oxygen to the moles of cyclopropane in the mixture.

Answers

Answer:

0.30

Explanation:

Provided that the volume and pressure remains constant

[(Pressure of cyclopropane)/ (Pressure of Oxygen)] = [(no. Of moles of cyclopropane)/(no. Of moles of Oxygen)]

Pressure of cyclopropane= 170. torr

Pressure of Oxygen= 570. torr

If we substitute the values

[(no. Of moles of cyclopropane)/(no. Of moles of Oxygen)] = 170/570

[(no. Of moles of cyclopropane)/(no. Of moles of Oxygen)] = 0.30

Hence, the ratio of the moles of oxygen to the moles of cyclopropane in the mixture is 0.30

Trial 2 19.831 9.861 10.0
Trial 3 19.831 9.861 10.0
Trial 4 19.771 9.861 10.0
Trial 5 19.751 9.861 10.0

Required:
Calculate the average density for the gradudated cylinder measurements.

Answers

Answer:

Average density of the liquid = 0.992 g/mL

Explanation:

Density = mass/volume

mass of liquid = (mass of liquid + mass of cylinder) - mass of cylinder

Trial 1: mass of liquid = 19.731 - 9.861 = 9.87

volume of liquid = 10 mL

density of liquid = 9.87 g / 10 mL = 0.987 g/mL

Trial 2: mass of liquid = 19.831 - 9.861 = 9.97

volume of liquid = 10 mL

density of liquid = 9.97 g / 10 mL = 0.997 g/mL

Trial 3: mass of liquid = 19.831 - 9.861 = 9.97

volume of liquid = 10 mL

density of liquid = 9.97 g / 10 mL = 0.997 g/mL

Trial 4: mass of liquid = 19.771 - 9.861 = 9.91

volume of liquid = 10 mL

density of liquid = 9.91 g / 10 mL = 0.991 g/mL

Trial 5: mass of liquid = 19.751 - 9.861 = 9.89

volume of liquid = 10 mL

density of liquid = 9.89 g / 10 mL = 0.989 g/mL

Average density = (0.987 + 0.997 + 0.997 + 0.991 + 0.989)/5 = 4.961/5

Average density of the liquid = 0.992 g/mL

A sample of iron, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.449 Jg^-1℃^-1, is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 100.0 g of water. The iron sample starts off at container 93.3 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 22.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 25.7 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm.

Required:
Calculate the mass of the iron sample. Be sure your answer is rounded to 2 significant digits.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]m_{iron}=32.1g[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the interaction between hot iron and cold water allows the heat transfer from iron to water and therefore we can write up the following energetic equation:

[tex]Q_{iron}+Q_{water}=0[/tex]

Whereas the heat terms can be written in terms of mass, specific heat and temperature change:

[tex]m_{iron}C_{iron}(T_f-T_{iron}) + m_{water}C_{water}(T_f-T_{water}) = 0[/tex]

So we solve for the mass of iron as follows:

[tex]m_{iron} = \frac{m_{water}C_{water}(T_f-T_{water})}{C_{iron}(T_f-T_{iron}) }[/tex]

Now, we plug in the given data to obtain:

[tex]m_{iron} = \frac{-100g*0.449\frac{J}{g\°C} (25.7\°C-22.0\°C)}{0.449\frac{J}{g\°C} (25.7\°C-93.3\°C) }[/tex]

[tex]m_{iron}=32.1g[/tex]

Police investigating the scene of a sexual assault recover a large blanket that they believe may contain useful physical evidence. They take it to the laboratory of forensic serologist Scott Alden, asking him to test it for the presence of semen. Noticing faint pink stains on the blanket, Scott asks the investigating detective if he is aware of anything that might recently have been spilled on the blanket. The detective reports that an overturned bowl of grapes and watermelon was found at the scene, as well as a broken glass that had contained wine. After the detective departs, Scott chooses and administers what he considers the best test for analysing the piece of evidence in his possession. Three minutes after completion of the test, the blanket shows a positive reaction. What test did Scott choose, and what was his conclusion? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Acid Phosphatase (AP) Test

Explanation:

Acid phosphate is an enzyme that is found in the body. It is secreted majorly by the prostrate gland into the seminal fluid. The acid phosphatase test is used to test for the presence of semen in items.

Scott chose the acid phosphatase test because it is very useful in testing for semen on large items such as blankets. The reaction time for an acid phosphatase test for semen is less than 30 seconds. Seeing that the test was completed in three minutes, Scott concluded that the positive reaction was as a result of some other fluid.

The detectives reported that an overturned bowl of grapes and watermelon was found at the scene as well as a broken glass that had contained wine. Scott knew that some fruit juices like that of watermelon give a positive reaction to the acid phosphatase test but with  more time that of the semen fluid because the reaction is a very slow one.

Scott concluded that there was no presence of semen on the blanket and therefore there was no sexual assault.

Answers

Answer:

CO2

Molecular geometry- Linear

BF3

Electron pair geometry - Trigonal planar

Molecular geometry- trigonal planar

SO2

Electron geometry - Trigonal planar

Molecular geometry - bent

SiCl4

Electron geometry- tetrahedral

Molecular geometry - tetrahedral

PF3

Electron pair geometry - tetrahedral

Molecular geometry- trigonal pyramidal

OF2

Electron pair geometry- tetrahedral

Molecular geometry- bent

Explanation:

Considering the molecule CO2, there are two regions of electron density in the molecule positioned at an angle of 180 degrees from each other hence the molecule is linear.

For BF3, the three bond pairs are arranged at the corners of a triangle to give a trigonal planar geometry at a bond angle of 120 degrees.

SO2 has two bonding groups and one lone pair giving three regions of electron density and a trigonal planar electron pair geometry. Due to the distortion to geometry caused by the presence of a lone pair, the molecule is bent.

For SiCl4, the four bonding groups are arranged at the corners of a regular tetrahedron hence it is tetrahedral both in electron pair geometry and in molecular geometry.

PF3 molecule has four regions of electron density corresponding to tetrahedral electron pair geometry. The presence of the lone pair leads to a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.

For OF2, there are four regions of electron density around the central oxygen atom. Two bond pairs and two lone pairs leads to a tetrahedral electron pair geometry but a bent molecular geometry is observed due to the two lone pairs.

Why are acids called proton donors?

Answers

Acids are substances that can donate H+ ions to bases. Since a hydrogen atom is a proton and one electron, technically an H+ ion is just a proton. So an acid is a "proton donor", and a base is a "proton acceptor". The reaction between an acid and base is essentially a proton transfer.
The relationship between acids and bases is more aggressive than the donor/acceptor terminology implies. Bases don't passively "accept" protons; they rip hydrogen ions from acids. Acids don't "donate" hydrogen ions; they surrender them.

20 g of Allg is dissolved in water to produce a solution with a concentration of 2.007M. What is the volume of this solution in milliliters?

Answers

Answer:

369 ml

Explanation:

Mass of Aluminium (Al) = 20 g

Molar concentration =  2.007M

Molar concentration = Number of moles / Volume

The relationship between mass and number of moles;

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass

Number of moles = 20 / 27 = 0.741 mol

2.007  = 0.741  / Volume

Volume = 0.741 / 2.007 = 0.369 L

converting to millilitres by multiplying by 1000

Volume = 0.369 * 1000 = 369 ml

Explain the order of dielectric constants for the following pairs of liquids. a) Carbon tetrachloride (2.2), chloroform (4.8) b) Ethanol (24.3) and methanol (32.6) c) Acetone (20.7) and formamide (110.0)

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Let us have it behind our minds that the dielectric constant reveals the degree of polarity of a molecule. This implies that the more polar a molecule is, the greater its dielectric constant.

Chloroform is a polar molecule while carbon tetrachloride is a nonpolar molecule due to its symmetrical nature. Thus Chloroform has  a greater degree of polarity and consequently a higher dielectric constant.

Methanol is more polar than ethanol because polarity of the molecule decreases as more CH2s are added to the molecule, that is, polarity of the molecule decreases with increase in the length of the carbon chain. Since methanol is more polar than ethanol, it should have a greater dielectric constant.

Again, the presence of more akyl groups in acetone makes it less polar than formamide. Consequently, formamide has a greater dielectric constant than acetone.

A standard 10.00 g mass is weighed on an analytical balance 100 times. The average and standard deviation obtained gives 10.12 ± 0.03 g. A calibration service is called. After the balance is recalibrated, the new measurements show 10.00 ± 0.03 g. Did the recalibration result in improved accuracy or precision?

Answers

Answer:

There was an improvement in accuracy. There was no change in precision.

Explanation:

The average mass after recalibration is closer to the mass of the standard, so the recalibration improved the accuracy (the measurement is closer to an accepted 'true' value).

The standard deviation did not change, so the precision (or how disperse the measurements are) was not affected.

PLEASE HELPPP!!! Calculate the mass (in grams) of lithium hydroxide that would be needed to produce 8.03 mol of

2 LIOH + H2S04 -> Li2SO4 + 2 H20

Answers

Answer:

385g LiOH

Explanation:

Assuming the equation is balanced...

(8.03 mol Li2SO4) x (2 LiOH/ 1 Li2SO4)

= 16.1 mol LiOH ;

16.1 mol LiOH x (24g LiOH/ 1 mole LiOH) = 385g LiOH

The number of moles of LiOH needed to produce 8.03 moles is 16.06 moles. One mole of LiOH weighs, 23 g/mol. Hence, 16.06 moles weighs, 369.3 g.

What is lithium sulphate ?

Lithium sulphate is an ionic compound formed by the donation of electron from the lithium metal to the sulphate group. It is formed by the reaction of lithium hydroxide with sulphuric acid.

As per the given balanced chemical equation of the reaction, the 2 moles of lithium hydroxide LiOH gives one mole of lithium sulphate. Then, number of moles of LiOH needed to give 8.03 mol of the product is:

2 × 8.03 = 16.06 mol.

Molar mass of LiOH = 23 g/mol.

mass of 16.06 moles of LiOH = 23 ×16.06 = 369.3 g.

Therefore, the required mass LiOH is 369.3 g.

A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 894.0g sample of a pure substance from to −5.8°C to 17.5°C. The experiment shows that 4.90kJ of heat are needed. What can the chemist report for the specific heat capacity of the substance?

Answers

Answer:

C = 0.2349 J/ (g °C)

Explanation:

Mass, m = 894.0g

Initial Temperature = −5.8°C

Final Temperature =  17.5°C

Temperature change = 17.5°C - (−5.8°C) = 23.3

Heat, H = 4.90kJ = 4900 J

Specific heat capacit, C = ?

The relationship between these quantities is given by the equation;

H = mCΔT

C = H / mΔT

C = 4900 / (894)(23.3)

C = 0.2349 J/ (g °C)

Each year, savannas receive about 20 to 50 inches of rain in a span of six to eight months. The other months are dryer. There’s also a threat of wildfires because of the severe dryness during these months. Grasslands are true to their name because their vegetation is mostly grass. Savannas are home to a wide range of animals, including different species of beetles and insects, which many creatures consume. Squirrels, mice, elephants, gazelles, and antelopes are the plant-eating animals that live in the savanna. Hyenas, lions, and leopards are some of the meat-eating animals in these areas.
