You conduct an experiment where everything but the number of cigarettes a person smokes is held constant You discover that a person smoking two packs of cigarettes a day quadruples (4x) the rate of aging over that of a one-pack-a-day smoker. Based on the data you have been given what is the value for n in the rate equation? Rate of aging = k [packs of cigarettes smoked]

Consider the accompanying diagram. Ball A is allowed to fall and strike ball B. Assume that all of ball As energy is transferred to ball B at point I, and that there is no loss of energy to other sources. What is the kinetic energy and the potential energy of ball B at point II? The potential energy is given by PE = mgz, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the gravitational constant (9.81 m/s2), and z is the distance in meters.
The second law of thermodynamics has been called the arrow of time. Explain why this is so.
For each of the following, suggest an appropriate rate unit. (a) Heart beating (b) Videotape rewinding (c) Automobile wheels rotating (d) Gas evolving in a very fast chemical reaction
Just as the depletion of stratospheric ozone threatens life on Earth today, its accumulation was one of the crucial processes that allowed life to develop in prehistoric times: 3O2 (g) ---> 2O3 (g) At a given instant, the reaction rate in terms of [O2] is 2.3x10^-5 mol/Lxs. What is it in terms of [O3]? Be sure to use the correct number of significant figures.
Scientists can determine the age of ancient objects by the method of radiocarbon dating. The bombardment of the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays converts nitrogen to a radioactive isotope of carbon, 14C, with a half-life of about 5,730 years. Vegetation absorbs carbon dioxide through the atmosphere, and animal life assimilates 14C through food chains. When a plant or animal dies, it stops replacing its carbon, and the amount of 14C present begins to decrease through radioactive decay. Therefore, the level of radioactivity must also decay exponentially. a) Dinosaur fossils are too old to be reliably dated using carbon-14. Suppose we had a 67 million year old dinosaur fossil. What percent of the living dinosaur's 14C would be remaining today? (Round your answer to five decimal places.) b) Suppose the minimum detectable amount is 0.7%. What is the maximum age (in years) of a fossil that we could date using 14C? (Round your answer to the nearest year.)

Therefore, the level of radioactivity must also decay exponentially. Dinosaur fossils are often dated by using an element other than carbon, like potassium-40, that has a longer half-life (in this case, approximately 1.25 billion years). Suppose the minimum detectable mass is 0.4% and a dinosaur is dated with 40K to be 67 million years old. Is such a dating possible? What is the maximum age (in millions of years) of a fossil that could be dated using 40K? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) (Can you…
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill released approx. 35000 barrels of crude oil per day into the Gulf of Mexico for 87 days. An oil barrel is defined as 42 gal. Calculate the rate of crude oil released in L/hour. (Assume 24 hr in one day.)
A student is preparing a solution of sucrose at a specific concentration. They are doing this by weighing out sucrose on a scale, placing it in a volumetric flask, dissolving it in water, and then diluting it up to the mark on the volumetric flask with water. How would the experimental (actual) molar concentration for C12H22O11 differ from the calculated concentration ( higher, lower, or the same) given the following scenarios? Explain.
The decomposition of aqueous sucrose to form the isomers glucose and fructose is a common organic reaction, which requires a strong catalyst: C12H22O11(aq) + H2O(l) → 2C6H12O6(aq). The following data were collected during the process: Time (min) [C12H22O11] (mol/L) 0 0.316 39 0.274 80 0.238 140 0.190 210 0.146 Use the following grids to plot three separate graphs of [C12H22O11], ln[C12H22O11], and 1/[C12H22O11] against time to determine the reaction order. (a)Write the rate law expression in its general form (water should not be included). (b)Determine the rate constant with units. (c)Determine the half-life. (d)If we performed a new trial with an initial concentration of sucrose of 0.400 mol/L, what concentration would remain after 4.0 h has passed?
To determine how much of a drug is absorbed into the body, researchers measure the difference between the dosage D and the amount of the drug excreted from the body. The total amount excreted is found by integrating the excretion rate r(t) from 0 to ∞. Therefore, the amount of the drug absorbed by the body is D − ∞ 0 r(t) dt. If the initial dose is D = 450 milligrams (mg), and the excretion rate is r(t) = 50e−0.5t mg per hour, find the amount of the drug absorbed by the body.
The following growth equation was derived for color-dyed rock candy: (R - 1.8 * 10^-3 mm/min)/(3 * 10^-3 mm/min - R) = 1/(AC^m) where R is growth rate in units [mm/min] and C is concentration of dye in parts per million (ppm). Growth rate data was collected for the following concentrations: C (ppm) 50 75 100 125 150 R (mm/min) 0.0025 0.0022 0.00204 0.00195 0.0019 What are the numerical values and units of A and m, which are both constants in the equation? For a dye concentration of 400ppm, what is the estimated growth rate? Are you confident in this estimate, why or why not?
