The Intensity $\mathrm { L } ( \mathrm { x } )$

question 46

Multiple Choice

The intensity $\mathrm { L } ( \mathrm { x } )$ of light $\mathrm { x } \mathrm { ft }$ beneath the surface of a lake satisfies the differential equation $\frac { \mathrm { dL } } { \mathrm { dx } } = - 0.05 \mathrm {~L}$ . At what depth, to the nearest foot, is the intensity one tenth the intensity at the surface?

• A) 46 ft
• B) 31 ft
• C) 23 ft
• D) 69 ft

Definitions:

Isomeric

Molecules that have the same molecular formula but differ in the arrangement of their atoms or in the spatial orientation of their atoms.

Boron Trifluoride

A binary compound composed of boron and fluorine with the formula BF3, known for its role as a strong Lewis acid in organic and inorganic chemical reactions.

Hybridized

A concept in chemistry where atomic orbitals mix to form new hybrid orbitals for bonding, providing a more accurate description of molecular bonding and geometry.

FBF Bond Angle

Refers specifically to the bond angle in a molecule of BF3 (Boron Trifluoride), where the three atoms of fluorine are bonded to a central boron atom, typically close to 120 degrees due to the trigonal planar shape.
