1. Under certain conditions, cane sugar with water is converted into dextrose at a rate which is proportional to the amount unconverted at any time t. If initially there was 75 grams of cane sugar with water and that 8 grams are converted during the first 30 minutes, find (a) the amount converted in 1.5 hours, in grams; (b) the time at which 99% of sugar cane with water had been converted to dextrose.

Drug Concentration A pharmaceutical companyclaims that the concentration of a drug in a patient’sbloodstream will be at least 10% for 8 hours. Supposeclinical tests show that the concentration of a drug (aspercent) t hours after injection is given byC(t) = 200t/2t2 + 32During what time period is the concentration at least10%? Is the company’s claim supported by the evidence?
In a study of the conversion of methyl isonitrile to acetonitrile in the gas phase at 250 °C CH3NC(g) CH3CN(g) the concentration of CH3NC was followed as a function of time. It was found that a graph of In[CH3NC] versus time in seconds gave a straight line with a slope of -4.20×10s and a y-intercept of -2.27 . Based on this plot, the reaction is vJorder in CH3NC and the rate constant for the reaction is
In a study of the conversion of methyl isonitrile to acetonitrile in the gas phase at 250 CH 3 NC(g) CH 3 CN(g) the concentration of CH 3 NC was followed as a function of time It was found that a graph of ln[CH 3 NC] versus time in seconds gave a straight line with a slope of - 4.17 * 10 ^ - 3 * s ^ - 1 and a y intercept of -4.05 Based on this plot , the reaction is order in CH 3 NC and the rate constant for the reaction is
The rate at which crickets chirp depends on the ambient temperature, because crickets are cold-blooded insects whose body temperature follows the temperature of their environment. It has been found that the Celsius temperature can be estimated by counting the number of chirps in 8 seconds and then adding 4. In other words, te= (number of chirps in 8 seconds) + 4. (a) Calculate the number of chirps in 8 seconds for the temperature 20°C. chirps eTextbook and Media (b) The number of chirps per unit of time is directly proportional to the rate constant for a biochemical reaction involved in the cricket's chirp. On the basis of this assumption, make a graph of In(# of chirps) versus (1/T). Calculate the activation energy for the biochemical reaction involved using the values of temperature 20°C and 35°C. E, = i J/mol (c) How many chirps would a cricket make in 8 seconds at a temperature of 40°C? chirps
Alabama Instruments Company has set up a production line to manufacture a new calculator. The rate of production of these calculators after t weeks is dx 180 dt (t + 24)2 calculators per week. Production approaches 5,700 per week as time goes on, but the initial production is lower because of the workers' unfamiliarity with the new techniques. Find the number of calculators produced from the beginning of the third week to the end of the fourth week. Round the answer to the nearest integer. а. 8281 b. 8781 c. 8881 d. 8681 е. 8581
4. Under a certain condition, cane sugar in water is converted into dextrose at a rate proportional to the amount that is unconverted at any time. If 75 kg at t = 0,8 kg are converted during the first 30 minutes, find the amount converted in 2 hours.
In a study of the conversion of methyl isonitrile to acetonitrile in the gas phase at 250 °C CH3NC(g)CH;CN(g) the concentration of CH,NC was followed as a function of time. It was found that a graph of In[CH3NC] versus time in seconds gave a straight line with a slope of -4.77x10-3 s1 and a y-intercept of -3.86 Based on this plot, the reaction is v order in CH,NC and the rate constant for the reaction is -1 zero first second
Dextran is an undesirable compound in sugar cane. They are produced by lactic acid bacteria from solutions that contain saccharide, but also by the dental plaque-forming species, Streptococcus mutans. Under certain conditions, cane sugar is converted into dextran at a rate proportional to the amount unconverted at any time, "t". For an initial amount of 75 kg, 8 kg were converted in the first 30 mins, find the amount converted in 2 hours.
