TEST YOUR UNDERSTANDING Suppose we start with 9 milligrams of pollutant per liter of water, as in the example. Assume that the cleaning process decreases the concentration of pollutant by 30 each hour. What is the pollutant concentration after each of the first 3 hours? EXAMPLE 1.9 PURIFYING WATER Water that is initially contaminated with a concentration of 9 milligrams of pollutant per liter of water is subjected to a cleaning process. The cleaning process is able to reduce the pollutant concentration by 25 each hour. Let C=C(t) denote the concentration, in milligrams per liter, of pollutant in the water r hours after the purification process begins. Part 1 What is the concentration of pollutant in the water after 3 hours? Part2 Compare the results predicted by the verbal description at the end of each of the first 3 hours with those given by the formula C=90.75t. Part 3 The formula given in part 2 is, in fact, the correct one. Use it to find the concentration of pollutant after 414 hours of cleaning.
A driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?
Work The work W required to lift an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the height h that the object is lifted. The work required to lift a 120-kilogram object 1.8 meters is 2116.8 joules. Find the amount of work required to lift a 100-kilogram object 1.5 meters.
Carbon Dating The ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in a piece of paper buried in a tomb is R=1/1311. Estimate the age of the piece of paper.
The Ideal Gas Law A mole of a chemical is a fixed number, like a dozen, of molecules or atoms in the case of an element of that compound. A mole of water, for example, is about 18 grams, or just over half an ounce in your kitchen. Chemists often use the mole as the measure of the amount of a chemical compound. A mole of carbon dioxide has a fixed mass, but the volume V that it occupies depends on pressure p and temperature T; greater pressure tends to compress the gas into a smaller volume, whereas increasing temperature tends to make the gas expand into a larger volume. If we measure the pressure in atmospheres 1 atm is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere at sea level, the temperature in kelvins, and the volume in liters, then the relationship is given by the ideal gas law: pV=0.082T. a. Solve the ideal gas law for the volume V. b. What is the volume of 1 mole of carbon dioxide under 3 atm of pressure at a temperature of 300 kelvins? c. Solve the ideal gas law for pressure. d. What is the pressure on 1 mole of carbon dioxide if it occupies a volume of 0.4 liter at a temperature of 350 kelvins? e. Solve the ideal gas law for temperature. f. At what temperature will 1 mole of carbon dioxide occupy a volume of 2 liters under a pressure of 0.3 atm?
