Although we did not mention it in Sec. 8.2, Eq.
In other words, the positive charges must equal the negative charges. Thus, when you compute the pH of a natural water body such as a lake, you must also account for other ions that may be present. For the case where these ions originate from nonreactive salts, the net negative minus positive charges due to these ions are lumped together in a quantity called alkalinity, and the equation is reformulated as

- Radium decomposes at a rate proportional to the amount present. If half of the original amount disappears after 923yrs, what is the percentage lost in 100 years?arrow_forwardYou are working in a biology lab during your summer break. Your supervisor asks you to perform an experiment to find the effective spring constant (in N/m) of a partial molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). You perform experiments and find that a single straight portion of a DNA molecule is 2.19 μm long. You then perform an activity that charges the ends of the molecule; each end becomes singly ionized: negative on one end, positive on the other. After the ends are charged, the molecule shrinks by 1.31% of its length. 1.21e-9arrow_forward6. If we approximate the atmosphere to be 79% Nitrogen (N2) by volume and 21% oxygen (O2), estimate the density of air (kg/m3) and ppmv at 1 atmosphere and ambient temperatures of 40 C and 450 C. (Atomic weight of nitrogen=14)arrow_forward
- Radium decomposes at a rate proportional to the amount present. If the half-life is 1,600 years, that is, half of any given amount is decomposed in 1,600 years, find the percentage remaining at the end of 200 years.arrow_forwardThe net potential energy EN between two adjacent ions is sometimes represented by the expression C ; - - - + Dexp(-6) (2.18) r EN in which r is the interionic separation and C, D, and p are constants whose values depend on the specific material. (a) Derive an expression for the bonding energy Eo in terms of the equilibrium interionic separation ro and the constants D and p using the following procedure: 1. Differentiate EN with respect to r and set the resulting expression equal to zero. 2. Solve for C in terms of D, p, and ro.arrow_forwardRC-2 A half ring of charge lies in the x-z plane with its center at the origin as shown to the right. There are λ coulombs per meter of charge evenly distributed along the ring, which has radius 'a'. a) Sketch on your paper figures like the figures shown to the right. On your figures show an arrow representing the electric field at the point P that is produced by source charge element dq. b) Use Coulomb's law to calculate the magnitude of the x, y and z components of the total electric field at P due to the half ring of charge. If any component is equal to zero, you may use the symmetry argument to explain why it is zero instead of doing the calculations. 3D view: ZI (C/m) X dq b View looking from point P toward the origin: Z dq 0arrow_forward
- Review Coulomb's Law in your text. Suppose a small ball has charge -3.8 PC is located at the origin, and a second small ball has charge 8.0 PC is located along the x-axis at +7.5 cm. if you need more help, try this (a) What is the x-component of the force on the ball at the origin? Be sure to use the correct sign to represent the direction of the component,+ for "to the right",- for "to the left". 48 64 N (b) What is the x-component of the force on the ball located at 7.5 cm? 4864N (c) Suppose that the second ball at 7.5 cm has charge -8 PC. In this case, what is the x-component of the force on the ball at the origin? (d) The ball is small if its diameter is much less than the separation of the two balls. In this case a ball with diameter 1 mm would be considered small. Such a ball made of ordinary materials would have a mass of no more than 0.01 g. What would the magnitude of the gravitational force of the earth be on such a ball? (Compare the electric and gravitational forces and you…arrow_forwardQuestion 3 We can make an energy dense capacitor by stacking layers of conductors separated with a dielectric, as shown below. Then, every other layer is connected together and held at the same voltage. V₁ V2 Suppose that all layers are identical and a single pair of plates has a capacitance of 21 F. What is the equivalent capacitance of this setup? Enter your answer in units of [Farads (F) ], rounded to the nearest one.arrow_forward3. Platinum and gold are completely soluble in both the liquid and solid states. The melting point of platinum is 3225°F and that of gold is 1945°F. An alloy containing 40% gold starts to solidify at 2910°F by separating crystals of 15 percent gold in solid. An alloy containing 70% gold starts to solidify at 2550°F by separating crystals of 37% gold in solid. Draw the equilibrium diagram to scale on a piece of graph paper and label all points, lines and areas.arrow_forward
- In the calculating of heat transferred in calorimeters, why is it that the equilibrium temperature is the one recorded and not the initial temperature? Why is it that if initial temperatures are the one used it would end up inaccurate and invalid? Please guide me in answering this. I am writing for my school newsletter's science monthly corner. Thank you in advance.arrow_forward3. Platinum and gold are completely soluble in both the liquid and solid states. The melting point of platinum is 3225°F and that of gold is 1945°F.
