Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5715 years. It is used to determine the age of
ancient objects. If a sample today contains 0.060 mg of carbon-14, how much
carbon-14 will be present after 28,575?

Answers

Answer 1

The sample of Carbon-14 after 28,575 years=0.001875 mg

Further explanation

General formulas used in decay:  

[tex]\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}[/tex]

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5715 years, so t1/2=5715 years

A sample today contains 0.060 mg of carbon-14, so No=0.06 mg, then :

[tex]\tt Nt=0.06(\dfrac{1}{2})^{28575/5715}\\\\Nt=0.06(\dfrac{1}{2})^5\\\\Nt=0.001875~mg[/tex]

b) 235.2 x 10^23 atoms
c) 5.89 x 10^23 atoms
d) 40.08 x 10^23 atoms

Answers

Answer:

5.89× 10²³ atoms of Ca

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Ca = 39.2 g

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of Ca:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 39.2 g/40.078 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.978 mol

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

0.978 mol ×  6.022 × 10²³ atoms / 1 mol

5.89× 10²³ atoms of Ca

How many moles of nitrogen gas would be produced if 3.27 moles of copper(II) oxide were reacted with excess ammonia in the following chemical reaction? 2 NH3(g) + 3 CuO (s) – 3 Cu(s) + N2(g) + 3 H2O(g)​

Answers

Moles of Nitrogen(N₂) gas would be produced : 1.09

Further explanation

The reaction coefficient in a chemical equation shows the mole ratio of the components of the reactants and products

If one mole of the reactant or product is known, then we can determine the moles of the other compounds involved in the reaction

Reaction

2NH₃(g) + 3CuO (s) ⇒ 3Cu(s) + N₂(g) + 3 H₂O(g)​

Copper(II) oxide was reacted with excess Ammonia, so CuO as a limiting reactant and moles of the product is based on moles of CuO

moles of CuO = 3.27

From the equation, the mol ratio of CuO : mol N₂ = 3 : 1, so mol  N₂ :

[tex]\tt \dfrac{1}{3}\times 3.27=1.09[/tex]

Silver nitrate and magnesium chloride react according to the following equation:
2AgNO3(aq) + MgCl2(aq) — 2AgCl(s) + Mg(NO3)2(aq)
What volume (in ml) of 0.247M MgCl2(aq) is required to react with 63.2 mL of 0.192M AgNO3(aq)?

Answers

Answer:

V=24,3mL

Explanation:

1)n(AgNO3)=Cm*V=0.063l*0.192M=0.012

2)n(AgNO3)/2=n(MgCl2) => MgCl2=0.012/2=0.006

3)V(MgCl2)=n/Cm=0.006/0.247=0.0243L=24,3ml
