A chemical breaks down in a flow-balanced, steady-state CFMR according to first-order reaction kinetics. At steady state, the upstream and downstream concentration of the chemical are 15 mg/L and 5 g/m3. Water is being treated at a rate of 0.42 m3/sec. The volume of the tank is 500,000 liters. Assuming a first-order reaction, what is the rate constant

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]k =0.101 \ min^{-1}[/tex]

Explanation:

From the given information:

The initial concentration of a chemical [tex]C_{AO} = 15 \ mg/L[/tex]

The final concentration is [tex]C_A = 5 \ g/m^3[/tex] = 5 mg/L

Volume flow rate [tex]V_o = 0.42 \ m^3/sec[/tex]

Volume of the tank V = 500 000 L = 500 m³

The time t is determined by using the formula:

[tex]t= \dfrac{V}{V_o}[/tex]

[tex]t= \dfrac{500 \ m^3}{0.42 \ m^3/sec}[/tex]

t = 1190.47 sec

t ≅ 19.8 min

The rate of the decay constant is:

[tex]kt= \dfrac{C_{AO}-C_{A}}{C_A} \\ \\ k = \dfrac{1}{19.8}( \dfrac{15-5}{5})[/tex]

[tex]k =0.101 \ min^{-1}[/tex]

An isolated atom of a certain element emits light of wavelength 655 nm when the atom falls from its fifth excited state into its second excited state. The atom emits a photon of wavelength 435 nm when it drops from its sixth excited state into its second excited state. Find the wavelength of the light radiated when the atom makes a transition from its sixth to its fifth excited state.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{6-5}} \approx 752nm[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Light wavelength  [tex]\lambda_l=655nm[/tex]

Light wavelength atom fall [tex]x_L=5th-2nd[/tex]

Photon wavelength  [tex]\lambda_p=435nm[/tex]

Photon wavelength atom fall [tex]x_P=^th-2nd[/tex]

Generally the equation for the reciprocal of wavelength of emitted photon is is mathematically given by

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda}=R(\frac{1}{ \lambda _f^2}-\frac{1}{\lambda _i^2} )[/tex]

Therefore for initial drop of 5th to 2nd

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-2}}=R(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{5^2} )[/tex]

Therefore for initial drop of 6th to 2nd

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{6-2}}=R(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{6^2} )[/tex]

Generally we subtract (5th to 2nd) from (6th to 2nd)

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-2}}- \frac{1}{\lambda_{6-2}}=R(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{5^2} )-\frac{1}R(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{6^2} )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-2}}- \frac{1}{\lambda_{6-2}}=R(\frac{1}{5^2}-\frac{1}{6^2} )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-2}}- \frac{1}{\lambda_{6-2}}=\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-6}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-6}}=\frac{1}{4350nm}-\frac{1}{655nm}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-6}}=1.33*10^{-3}[/tex]

Therefore for 6th to 5th stage is mathematically given by

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{6-5}}=(1.33*10^{-3})^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{6-5}}=751.879nm[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{6-5}} \approx 752nm[/tex]

Imine formation from an aldehyde and an amine proceeds reversibly under slightly acidic conditions. The reaction is reversible due to acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the imine. Imine formation generates an equivalent of water. Given these facts, explain why the imine can be isolated from the reaction mixture.

Answers

Answer:

Imine can be isolated from the reaction mixture as water is continuously removed from the reaction chamber

Explanation:

In this reaction, a non -aqueous solvent  is not used (not mentioned in the question). Thus, we can say that there is continuous removal water under suitable reacting conditions and hence the imine formed is left behind.

A 108.9 g sample of water absorbs 114.6 calories of heat. The specific heat capacity of water is 1 cal/(g·°C). By how much did the temperature of this sample change, in degrees Celsius?

Answers

Answer:

The temperature of this sample changes by 1.052 degrees Celsius

Explanation:

As we know

[tex]Q = mc\Delta T[/tex]

Where m is the mass of the substance

c is the specific heat of the substance

and [tex]\Delta T[/tex] is the change in temperature

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

The temperature of this sample changes by 1.052 degrees Celsius

A 31.25 mL aliquot of weak base that has a concentration of 0.683 M will be titrated with 0.434 M HCl. Calculate the pH of of the solution upon neutralization of half of the weak base. The Kb of the base is 1.5×10-6.

Answers

Answer:

pH = 8.18

Explanation:

The weak base, X, reacts with HCl as follows:

X + HCl → HX⁺ + Cl⁻

Where 1 mole of X with 1 mole of HCl produce 1 mole of HX⁺ (The conjugate acid of the weak base).

Now, using H-H equation for bases:

pOH = pKb + log [XH⁺] / [X]

Where pOH is the pOH of the buffer (pH = 14 -pOH)

pKb is -log Kb = 5.824

And [X] [HX⁺] are the molar concentrations of each specie

Now, at the neutralization of the half of HX⁺, the other half is as X, that means:

[X] = [HX⁺]

And:

pOH = pKb + log [HX⁺] / [X]

pOH = 5.824 + log 1

pOH = 5.824

pH = 14-pOH

pH = 8.18

The half-life of argon-39 is 269 years. It decays into krypton-39. After 1,076 years, what fraction of the original amount of argon-39 in a sample will still be argon

1/16
1/4
1/2
1/8

Answers

Answer:

1/16

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Half-life (t½) = 269 years

Time (t) = 1076 years

Fraction remaining =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 269 years

Time (t) = 1076 years

Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 1076 / 269

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the fraction of the original amount remaining. This can be obtained as follow:

Let N₀ be the original amount.

Let N be the amount remaining.

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Fraction remaining (N/N₀ ) =?

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2⁴ × N₀

N = 1/16 × N₀

Divide both side by N₀

N/N₀ = 1/16

Thus, the fraction of the original amount remaining is 1/16

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the the variable temperature and pressure and constant volume, it turns out possible for us to calculate the new temperature via the Gay-Lussac's law as shown below:

[tex]\frac{T_2}{P_2} =\frac{T_1}{P_1}[/tex]

Thus, by solving for the final temperature, T2, we obtain:

If I have 7.0 x 10^24 formula units of magnesium chloride, how many grams of chlorine would I have?

Answers

824 g

Explanation:

First we convert 7.0 x 10²⁴ formula units of magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) into moles, using Avogadro's number:

7.0 x 10²⁴ formula units ÷ 6.023x10²³ formula units/mol = 11.62 mol MgCl₂

There are two Cl moles per MgCl₂ moles, meaning that we have (2 * 11.62) 23.24 moles of Cl

Finally we convert 23.24 moles of chlorine into grams, using chlorine's molar mass:

23.24 mol * 35.45 g/mol = 824 g

A 15.0 mL solution of Sr(OH)₂ is neutralized with 21.1 mL of 0.350 M HCl. What is the concentration of the original Sr(OH)₂ solution?

Answers

Answer:

0.246 M

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

Sr(OH)₂ + 2HCl → SrCl₂ + 2H₂O

First we calculate how many HCl moles reacted, using the given volume and concentration:

0.350 M * 21.1 mL = 7.385 mmol HCl

Then we convert HCl moles into Sr(OH)₂ moles, using the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction:

7.385 mmol HCl * [tex]\frac{1mmolSr(OH)_2}{2mmolHCl}[/tex] = 3.692 mmol Sr(OH)₂

Finally we calculate the concentration of the original Sr(OH)₂ solution:

Answers

Answer: a. Cathode

b. Galvanic cell

c. Anode

d. Electrolytic cell

e. half reaction

Explanation:

Galvanic cell or Electrochemical cell is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produced in a spontaneous redox reaction into the electrical energy.

Electrolytic cell is a device where electrical energy is used to drive a non spontaneous chemical reaction.

In the electrochemical cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.  Thus the electrons are produced at anode and travel towards cathode.

The balanced two-half reactions will be:

Oxidation half reaction : [tex]M\rightarrow M^{n+}+ne^-[/tex]

Reduction half reaction : [tex]N^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow N[/tex]

Thus the overall reaction will be: [tex]M+N^{n+}\rghtarrow M^{n+}+N[/tex]

Using the following Enthalpy of Reactions:

AH = +184.6 KJ
2H2(g) + 1/2 N2(g) + 1/2 Cl2(g) → NH4Cl(s) deltaH = -314.4 kJ
N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g)
deltaH = +184.6 kJ​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We have the three equations:

[tex]NH_{3(g)} + HCl_{(g)} => NH_4Cl_{(s)} ..... \Delta H = ? (1)\\2HCl_{(g)} => H_{2(g)} + Cl_{2(g)} .... \Delta H = +184.6 kJ (2)\\2H_{2(g)} + 1/2N_{2(g)} + 1/2Cl_{2(g)} => NH_4Cl_{(s)} ..... \Delta H = -314.2 kJ (3)\\ N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} => 2NH_{3(g)} .... \Delta H = +184.6kJ (4)[/tex]

(can you double check that it is 184.6kJ for both equations 2 and 4 because it seems unlikely). We need to solve for equation 1 by addition and changing equations 2, 3 and 4. After possibly some trial and error, we can find that if we flip equations 4, multiply equation 3 by 2, add the equations together, and then finally divide by 2, we can get equation 1. We will get the answer of -314.2 kJ. However, I am again skeptical about the delta H values for equation 2 and 4 so double check that. This method might be super confusing and it is really hard to explain. So what I would suggest you to watch videos on Hess' law.
