(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]

Explanation:

2-81) When a hydrocarbon fuel is burned, almost all of the carbon in the fuel burns completely to form CO2 (carbon dioxide), which is the principal gas causing the greenhouse effect and thus global climate change. On average, 0.59 kg of CO2 is produced for each kWh of electricity generated from a power plant that burns natural gas. A typical new household refrigerator uses about 700 kWh of electricity per year. Deter- mine the amount of CO2 production that is due to the refrigerators in a city with 300,000 households.

Answers

Answer:

12.39 x 10⁷ kg

Explanation:

A typical new household refrigerator uses about 700 kWh of electricity per year.

No of household = 300000

Total energy  used up = 300000 x 700 kWh

= 21 x 10⁷ kWh .

Production of each kWh energy produces .59 kg of CO₂

Production of 21 x 10⁷  kWh energy produces .59 x 21 x 10⁷ kg of CO₂

CO₂ produced =  .59 x 21 x 10⁷ kg

= 12.39 x 10⁷ kg

How many moles of O2, form as 80 g of KClO3 are totally consumed?
M(KCIO3)= 122.45 g/mol.

Answers

Answer:

0.975 mole of O₂

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 80 g of KClO₃. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of KClO₃ = 122.45 g/mol.

Mass of KClO₃ = 80 g

Mole of KClO₃ =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of KClO₃ = 80 / 122.45

Mole of KClO₃ = 0.65 mole

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2KClO₃ —> 2KCl + 3O₂

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of KClO₃ decomposed to produce 3 moles of O₂.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole O₂ produced by the decomposition of 80 g (i.e 0.65 mole) of KClO₃. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of KClO₃ decomposed to produce 3 moles of O₂.

Therefore, 0.65 mole of KClO₃ will decompose to produce = (0.65 × 3)/2 = 0.975 mole of O₂.

Thus, 0.975 mole of O₂ was obtained from the reaction.

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.

Answers

Answer:

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.

At STP, adding salt to a 200 mL sample of water produces a saturated 1.7 M solution. How many grams of salt (NaCl) must be added to 200 mL to produce this solution?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]m_{NaCl}=19.9gNaCl[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the formula for the calculation of molarity is:

[tex]M=\frac{n}{V}[/tex]

Whereas we can compute the moles of the solute as shown below, making sure the volume is in liters:

[tex]n=M*V[/tex]

Thus, by plugging in we obtain:

[tex]n=0.200L*1.70mol/L=0.170molNaCl[/tex]

Next, since the molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol, we obtain the following mass:

[tex]m_{NaCl}=0.170molNaCl*\frac{58.44gNaCl}{1molNaCl}\\\\m_{NaCl}=19.9gNaCl[/tex]

Answer:

b. tendency for a substance to achieve maximum disorder (i.e., randomly distribute).

Explanation:

Entropy can be defined as the tendency for a substance to achieve maximum disorder (i.e., randomly distribute).

This ultimately implies that, entropy is a thermodynamic quantity that measures the degree of maximum order or randomness of a system.

The S.I unit used for the measurement of the degree of maximum order or randomness of a system is Joules per Kelvin (JK¯¹). An example of entropy is the mixing of ideal gases.

How does the appearance of a substance change when it
changes phase?

Answers

Answer:

Melting: the substance changes back from the solid to the liquid. Condensation: the substance changes from a gas to a liquid. Vaporization: the substance changes from a liquid to a gas. Sublimation: the substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase.

Explanation:

The change in appearance of a substance when it changes its phase includes :

Change in volume Change in texture and Change in shape

Change in volume : when a liquid substance is heated to its boiling point ( vaporization) the volume of the liquid substance will change when it turns into gas because gases have no definite volume or shape.

Change in Texture: When water freezes it changes its state from a liquid state to a solid state, also the appearance of the liquid water will undergo changes in its texture when it is in its' solid state ( i.e. the texture of ice is not exactly the texture of liquid water )  

Change in shape : when a solid substance changes its state from solid to gas ( sublimation ) the shape of the solid substance will be lost during the phase change.

Hence we can conclude that the change in the appearance of a substance when it changes its phase include. Change in volume, Change in texture and Change in shape.

What type of chemical reaction is this? CH4 + O2 + CO2 + H20 ?

Answers

Answer:

combustion reaction. hope this helps!

Geosmin is an aroma compound found in raindrops. It's chemical formula is C12H22O. The molar mass is 182 g/mol. If you perform combustion analysis of 1.77 grams of this compound, how many grams of carbon should be isolated as CO2 during the analysis?

Answers

Answer:

5.13 g of CO₂.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

C₁₂H₂₂O + 17O₂ —> 12CO₂ + 11H₂O

Next, we shall determine the mass of C₁₂H₂₂O that reacted and the mass of CO₂ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of C₁₂H₂₂O = 182 g/mol.

Mass of C₁₂H₂₂O from the balanced equation = 1 × 182 = 182 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (2×16)

= 12 + 32

= 44 g/mol

Mass of CO₂ from the balanced equation = 12 × 44 = 528 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

182 g of C₁₂H₂₂O reacted to produce 528 g of CO₂.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CO₂ produced from the reaction. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

182 g of C₁₂H₂₂O reacted to produce 528 g of CO₂.

Therefore, 1.77 g of C₁₂H₂₂O will react to produce = (1.77 × 528)/182 = 5.13 g of CO₂.

Thus, 5.13 g of CO₂ were obtained from the reaction.
