Concept explainers
Chemical rate equations The reaction of chemical compounds can often be modeled by differential equations. Let y(t) be the concentration of a substance in reaction for t ≥ 0 (typical units of y are moles/L). The change in the concentration of the substance, under appropriate conditions, is
- a. Show that for a first-order reaction (n = 1), the concentration obeys an exponential decay law.
- b. Solve the initial value problem for a second-order reaction (n = 2) assuming y(0) = y0.
- c. Graph and compare the concentration for a first-order and second-order reaction with k = 0.1 and y0 = 1.

- Flea Beetles A study of flea beetles found that the change in the rate of flea beetles moving in and out of a patch of beetles could be described by the differential equation dNdt=mN+i where N is the number of beetles in a patch, m is the rate at which beetles move out of the patch, and i is the rate at which they move in. Source: Ecological Monographs. a. Solve the differential equation above with the initial condition N(0)=N0. b. After the researchers cleared a patch of beetles, so that N0, they would return 8 hours later and count the number of beetles. Show that the parameter i can then be estimated by the equation i=mN(8)e8m1 c. The researchers estimated m using the equation m=lnFsd, where Fsd is the fraction of beetles who remained in the patch in which they were released. For the beetles P, striolata released in July in the lush interior of patches 5 meters apart, the average values of Fsd and N(8) were 0.709 and 4.5, respectively. Find the values of m and i.arrow_forwardMultivariable Calculus Total Differentials and Approximations LIFE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS Heat Loss In Exercise 50 of Section 2 of this chapter, we found that the rate of heat loss in watts in harbor seal pups could be approximated by H(m,T,A)=15.2m0.67(TA)10.23lnm10.74 Where m is the body mass of the pup in kg, and T and A are the body core temperature and ambient water temperature, respectively in C. Suppose m is 25kg, T is 36.0, and A is 12.0, Approximate the change in H if m changes to 26kg,T to 36.5 and A to 10.0.arrow_forwardElectricity In a series resistance-capacitance DC circuit, the instantaneous charge Q on the capacitor as a function of time where t=0 is the moment the circuit is energized by closing a switch is given by the equation Qt=CV1-e-t/RC, where C,V, and R are constants. Further, the instantaneous charging current Ic is the rate of chage of charge on the capacitor, or Ic=dQ/dt. Source: Kevin Friedrich. a. Find the expression for Ic as a function of time. b. If C=10-5 farads, R=107 ohms, and V=10 volts, what is the vharging current after 200 seconds? Hint: When placed into the function in part a, the units can be combined into amps.arrow_forward
