The amount of radioactive carbon-14 in a sample is measured using a Geiger counter, which records each disintegration of an atom. Living tissue disintegrates at a rate of about 13.5 atoms per minute per gram of carbon. In 1977 a charcoal fragment found at Stonehenge, England, recorded 8.2 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon. Assuming that the half-life of carbon14 is 5730 years and that the charcoal was formed during the building of the site, estimate the date when Stonehenge was built

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4121 years

Explanation:

From;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log No/N

t1/2= half life of the carbon-14

No= count rate of the living tissue

N= count rate of the sample

t = age of the sample

0.693/5730 =2.303/t log (13.5/8.2)

1.21 * 10^-4 = 2.303/t * 0.2165

1.21 * 10^-4 = 0.4986/t

t = 0.4986/1.21 * 10^-4

t = 4121 years

When calcium carbonate is heated strongly, carbon dioxide gas is evolved. CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2 (g) If 4.74 g of calcium carbonate is heated, what volume of CO2 (g) would be produced when collected at STP?

Answers

Answer:

1.06 liters of gas are produced

Explanation:

Our reaction is:

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂ (g)

This is the decomposition of calcium carbonate.

Ratio is 1:1:1

1 mol of carbonate can decompose to 1 mol of oxide and 1 mol of oxygen.

We convert mass to moles:

4.74 g . 1 mol /100.08g = 0.0474 moles

These are the moles of oxygen produced.

We know that 1 mol of any gas at STP is contained in 22.4L

0.0474 mol . 22.4L /mol = 1.06 L

How many flourine atoms are present in 5.3 grams of flourine sample? (note that you have to use the 3 step method)​

Answers

Answer:

1.7x10²³ Fluorine atoms are present

Explanation:

To solve this question we must know that, to find the amount of atoms of a substance from its mass, we have, as first, to convert this mass to moles using molar mass of the substance. With the moles we can find the amount of molecules using Avogadro's number. And with the formula we can know the atoms presents:

Moles Fluorine (F₂, Molar mass: 37.997g/mol)

5.3g * (1mol / 37.997g) = 0.139 moles F₂

Molecules F₂:

0.139 moles F₂ * (6.022x10²³molecules / mol) = 8.4x10²² molecules F₂

As 1 molecule of F₂ contains 2 atoms of Fluorine:

8.4x10²² molecules F₂ * 2 =

1.7x10²³ Fluorine atoms are present

The reaction a(g)⇌b(g) has an equilibrium constant of 5.8 and under certain conditions has q = 336. part a what can you conclude about the sign of δg∘rxn and δgrxn for this reaction under these conditions?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "As [tex]Q=336[/tex], at high-temperature [tex]\Delta G_{rxn}>0[/tex] and When[tex]K>1,[/tex][tex]\Delta G^{\circ}_{rxn}>0[/tex]."

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is:

[tex]A(g) \leftrightharpoons B(g)[/tex]  

[tex]K=5.8\\\\Q=336[/tex]

At equilibrium,

[tex]\Delta G^{\circ}_{rxn}>0[/tex][tex]=-RT \ln \ K[/tex]

When k=5.8(>1), the value of [tex]\ln k[/tex] would be positive

So, [tex]\Delta G^{\circ}_{rxn}[/tex] is negative (< 0)

So if K > l, [tex]\Delta G^{\circ}_{rxn}<0[/tex]

If the reaction is not in equilibrium so the equation is :

[tex]\Delta G_{rxn}>0[/tex]=[tex]\Delta G^{\circ}_{rxn}[/tex][tex]+RT \ln Q[/tex]

Substituting the expression:

[tex]\Delta G_{rxn}>0[/tex][tex]= (-RT \ln K) + RT \ln Q[/tex]

                 [tex]= RT(\ln Q- \ln K)\\= RT(\ln (336)-\ln (5.8))\\= RT(4.06)[/tex]

It is the positive value for all temperatures.

So, As Q = 336, at the high temperature [tex]\Delta G_{rxn}>0[/tex].

HBrO forms hydrogen bonds with each other and with water

Acetic acid forms hydrogen bonds with each other and with water

Formaldehyde can't form hydrogen bonds to each other but do form hydrogen bonds with water.

Explanation:

The hypohalous acids are polar molecules hence they form intermolecular hydrogen bonds. They also form hydrogen bonds with water. This enables it to dissolve in water.

Acetic acid can form dimmers with each other due to hydrogen bond formation. Also, acetic acid is capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water. This enables acetic acid to dissolve in water.

Aldehydes do not form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with each other because there is no hydrogen atom attached directly to oxygen in aldehydes. As such, they can only form hydrogen bonds with water. This accounts for the water solubility of low molecular weight aldehydes. Hence,  formaldehyde can't form hydrogen bonds to each other but do form hydrogen bonds with water.

Will give lots of points if answered correctly. Determine the kb for chloroform when 0.793 moles of solute in 0.758 kg changes the boiling point by 3.80 °C.

Answers

Answer: The value of [tex]K_{b}[/tex] for chloroform is [tex]3.62^{o}C/m[/tex] when 0.793 moles of solute in 0.758 kg changes the boiling point by 3.80 °C.

Explanation:

Given: Moles of solute = 0.793 mol

Mass of solvent = 0.758

[tex]\Delta T_{b} = 3.80^{o}C[/tex]

As molality is the number of moles of solute present in kg of solvent. Hence, molality of given solution is calculated as follows.

[tex]Molality = \frac{no. of moles}{mass of solvent (in kg)}\\= \frac{0.793 mol}{0.758 kg}\\= 1.05 m[/tex]

Now, the values of [tex]K_b[/tex] is calculated as follows.

[tex]\Delta T_{b} = i\times K_{b} \times m[/tex]

where,

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for chloroform)

m = molality

[tex]K_{b}[/tex] = molal boiling point elevation constant

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

[tex]\Delta T_{b} = i\times K_{b} \times m\\3.80^{o}C = 1 \times K_{b} \times 1.05 m\\K_{b} = 3.62^{o}C/m[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the value of [tex]K_{b}[/tex] for chloroform is [tex]3.62^{o}C/m[/tex] when 0.793 moles of solute in 0.758 kg changes the boiling point by 3.80 °C.

Trihydrogen monophosphide is a covalent molecule that can also act as an acid. What is the correct acid name for trihydrogen monophosphide ?

Answers

Answer:

H₃P phosphidic acid

Explanation:

The Trihydrogen monophosphide, as stated in the exercise, can act as an acid. This is pretty similar to the case of hydrogen chloride, which is a gas but it can also be an acid, in this case, chloridic acid.

In the case of trihydrogen phosphide, we can write it molecular formula which is:

H₃P

Now, this is a binary compound because its composed of only two elements, in this case, hydrogen and phosphide. To name binary acid, we need to name the non metal with the sufije idic, and then, the word acid.

Following this simple rule, the trihydrogen phosphide would be, as acid:

H₃P: phosphidic acid

Air is made of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases. What is the pressure of O₂, total is 1 atm if PN₂ = 593.4 mm Hg, PCO₂ = 3.0 mm Hg, and Pothers = 7.1 mm Hg? *

0.3 atm
0.2 atm
0.4 atm
0.8 atm

Answers

Answer:

The pressure of O₂ is 0.8 atm.

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure. So, Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone:

PT = PA + PB

This relationship is due to the assumption that there are no attractive forces between the gases.

In this case:

PT=Pnitrogen + Pcarbon dioxide + Pother gases

Being:

Pnitrogen: 593.4 mmHg Pcarbon dioxide: 3 mmHgPother gases: 7.1 mmHg

and replacing:

PT= 593.4 mmHg + 3 mmHg + 7.1 mmHg

you get:

PT= 603.5 mmHg

Being 760 mmHg= 1 atm, you get:

PT= 603.5 mmHg= 0.8 atm

The pressure of O₂ is 0.8 atm.

A 1.0 g sample of which substance contains the largest

number of molecules?

Answers

Answer:

Hydrogen (since this is all the info I'm working with)

Explanation:

Since we need to know how which substance has the most amount of molecules, we would need to look at the Atomic masses of these elements. Hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1.01g/mol whereas something like oxygen has an atomic mass of 16.00g/mol. Judging this, we can determine since a mole is made up of 6.02*10^23 molecules(Avogadro's number), and we have 1/1.01grams of hydrogen, we can deduce that Hydrogen would contain the largest amount of molecules

Which of the following scientists was the first to determine the
relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas?

Answers

Answer:

Robert Boyle

Explanation:

Robert Boyle was an Irish chemist and is famously referred to as the first modern chemist. He was born on the 25th of January, 1627 in Lismore, Ireland and died on the 31st, December 1691, London, United Kingdom.

Robert Boyle was the first to determine the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas.

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

[tex] PV = K[/tex]

[tex] P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2} [/tex]

Where;

V1 and V2 represents the initial and final volumes respectively.

T1 and T2 represents the initial and final temperatures respectively.

Answers

Answer:

Decrease occur in the amount and flow of water bodies.

Explanation:

There is decrease in the amount and flow of water from water bodies such as rivers and lakes etc occur when the river is diverted from large water bodies because the water flows to the diverted sides and decrease occurs in the amount of water in the rivers and lakes. Those regions from where this river passes can also be negatively affected due to low amount of water they receives for their daily needs or for cultivation of crops so we can say that this diversion has adverse effect on other populations.
