The composite material is composed of carbon fiber and epoxy resins. Now, density is an intensive unit. So, to approach this problem, let's assume there is 1 gram of composite material. Thus, mass carbon + mass epoxy = 1 g.

Volume of composite material = 1 g / 1.615 g/cm³ = 0.619 cm³
Volume of carbon fibers = x g / 1.74 g/cm³ 
Volume of epoxy resin = (1 - x) g / 1.21 g/cm³ 

a.) V of composite = V of carbon fibers + V of epoxy resin
0.619 = x/1.74 + (1-x)/1.21
Solve for x,
x = 0.824 g carbon fibers
1-x = 0.176 g epoxy resins

Vol % of carbon fibers = [(0.824/1.74) ÷ 0.619]*100 =<em> 76.5%</em>

b.) Weight % of epoxy = 0.176 g epoxy/1 g composite * 100 = <em>17.6%</em>
     Weight % of carbon fibers = 0.824 g carbon/1 g composite * 100 = <em>82.4%</em>

Rubbing alcohol contains 615g of isopropanol (C3H7OH) per liter (aqueous solution). Calculate the molality of this solution. Giv
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Solution of isopropanol is 10.25 molal

Explanation:

615 g of isopropanol (C3H7OH) per liter

We gave the information that 615 g of solute (isopropanol) are contained in 1L of water. We need to find out the mass of solvent, so we use density.

Density of water 1g/mL → Density = Mass of water / 1000 mL of water

Notice we converted the L to mL

Mass of water = 1000 g (which is the same to say 1kg)

Molality are the moles of solute in 1kg of solvent, so let's convert the moles of isopropanol  → 615 g . 1mol / 60g = 10.25 moles

Molality (mol/kg) = 10.25 moles / 1kg = 10.25 m

The reaction A + B → 2 C has the rate law rate = k[A][B]³. By what factor does the rate of reaction increase when [A] remains co
lawyer [7]

Answer:

8

Explanation:

To solve this question, we just need to put the new number into the equation. If [A] remain constant then that mean [A2]= [A1]. If B doubled, then that mean [B2]= 2[B2]. To find what factor does the rate of reaction increases, we need to divide the first reaction rate with the second. The calculation will be:

rate2/rate1= k[A2][B2]³     /     k[A1][B1]³

rate2/rate1= [A1][2B1]³      /     [A1][B1]³

rate2/rate1=  A1*8B1³       /     A1*B1³

rate2/rate1= 8/1= 8

The rate of reaction will be 8 times faster.

The acid-dissociation constant, ka, for gallic acid is 4.57 ⋅ 10-3. what is the base-dissociation constant, kb, for the gallate
LiRa [457]
Hello!

To determine the Kb of gallic acid is actually very simple. 

The dissociation reaction of Gallic Acid (HGal) is the following:

HGal+H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + Gal⁻

The equation for converting from Ka to Kb is the following:

Ka*Kb=Kw \\  \\ Kb= \frac{Kw}{Ka}= \frac{1*10^{-14} }{4,57*10^{-3} }=2,19 * 10^{-12}

So, the Kb is 2,19*10⁻¹²
