The isotope carbon-14 decays over time into nitrogen-14 with a half-life of 5,730 years. Suppose that you find a fossil that contains 1.25 grams of carbon-14 and 3.75 grams of nitrogen-14. How old is the fossil

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

11460 years

Explanation:

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

t1/2 = half life of the carbon

t = age of the fossil

No= amount of radioactive material originally present

N= amount of radioactive material present at time=t

No= mass of carbon + nitrogen = 5g

0.693/5730 = 2.303/t log (5/1.25)

1.21 ×10^-4 = 1.3866/t

t= 1.3866/1.21 ×10^-4

t= 11460 years

What is the mass of 2.53x10^34 atoms of Ni?

Answers

Answer:

2.48 g

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of atoms = 2.53×10³⁴ atoms

Mass of Ni =?

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, 1 mole of Ni contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Recall:

1 mole Ni = 59 g

Therefore, 59 g of Ni contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of 2.53×10³⁴ atoms of Ni. This can be obtained as follow:

6.02×10²³ atoms = 59 g

Therefore,

2.53×10³⁴ = 2.53×10³⁴ × 59 / 6.02×10²³

2.53×10³⁴ atoms = 2.48 g

Thus, the mass of 2.53×10³⁴ atoms of Ni is 2.48 g.

Many reactions double their rates with every ten degrees rise in temperature. Assume that such a reaction takes place at 301 K and 311 K. What must its activation energy be for this statement to hold

Answers

Answer:

57.6 KJ/mol

Explanation:

We have that;

T1 = 301 K

T2= 311 K

k1 = k1

k2= 2k1

R = 8.314 JK-1

Ea= ?

So;

ln(k1/k2) = (-Ea/R) (1/T1 - 1/T2)

ln (k1/2k1) = -(Ea/8.314) (1/301 - 1/311)

ln(1/2) = -(Ea/8.314) (3.3 * 10^-3 - 3.2 * 10^-3)

-0.693 = -(Ea/8.314) 0.1 * 10^-3

-0.693/ 0.1  * 10^-3 = -(Ea/8.314)

-6930 =  -(Ea/8.314)

Ea = 6930 * 8.314

Ea = 57.6 KJ/mol

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the ionization of ammonia, which is a weak base, is written as:

[tex]NH_3+H_2O\rightleftharpoons NH_4^++OH^-[/tex]

We can see that the ammonium ion is the conjugate acid whereas the hydroxide ions the conjugate base; that is why we use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation to compute the pH, given the pKb of ammonia 4.75:

[tex]pH=pKb+log(\frac{[conj\ acid]}{[base]} )[/tex]

In such a way, for the given moles of ammonia, base, and those of ammonium chloride, conjugate acid form, we obtain:

[tex]pH=4.75+log(\frac{0.15}{0.2} )\\\\pH=4.63[/tex]

Describe how to use a transfer pipet to deliver 10.00 mL of liquid by placing the steps in the correct order.

Answers

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Describe how to use a transfer pipet to deliver 10.00 mL of liquid by placing the following steps in the correct order;

- Replace the bulb with your index finger and wipe excess liquid off the outside of the pipette.

- Place the tip of the pipette against the side of the beaker and drain the liquid from the pipette until the bottom of the meniscus reaches the calibration mark.

- Transfer the pipette to the receiving vessel.

- Drain the pipette by gravity while holding the tip against the side of the receiving vessel.

- Use a rubber bulb to suck liquid up past the 10.00 ml calibration mark.

- Suck up a third volume of liquid past the 10.00 ml calibration mark.

- Discard the first two pipette volumes of the liquid to rinse the pipette.

Answer:

- Use a rubber bulb to suck liquid up past the 10.00 ml calibration mark.

- Discard the first two pipette volumes of the liquid to rinse the pipette.

- Suck up a third volume of liquid past the 10.00 ml calibration mark.

- Replace the bulb with your index finger and wipe excess liquid off the outside of the pipette.

- Place the tip of the pipette against the side of the beaker and drain the liquid from the pipette until the bottom of the meniscus reaches the calibration mark.

- Transfer the pipette to the receiving vessel.

- Drain the pipette by gravity while holding the tip against the side of the receiving vessel.  

Explanation:  

First of all, We use a suction device to suck up liquid into pipet. Then we will fill the pipet up to the 10 mL marks and will discard the initial two volumes of liquid and will take a final third volume. We will replace the bulb with index finger and will drain it by placing the tip of pipet at the wall of beaker and drain the liquid.

Arranged in the following steps correctly;

- Use a rubber bulb to suck liquid up past the 10.00 ml calibration mark.

- Discard the first two pipette volumes of the liquid to rinse the pipette.

- Suck up a third volume of liquid past the 10.00 ml calibration mark.

- Replace the bulb with your index finger and wipe excess liquid off the outside of the pipette.

- Place the tip of the pipette against the side of the beaker and drain the liquid from the pipette until the bottom of the meniscus reaches the calibration mark.

- Transfer the pipette to the receiving vessel.

- Drain the pipette by gravity while holding the tip against the side of the receiving vessel.

We have been given that the salinity of sea water is 3.5%;

  Now the mass of sea water sample is 2000g

So, problem here is to find the quantity of pure water in the sample = ?

Solution:

Let us find the quantity of the salt in the sample;

       Salt content  = 3.5% x 2000  = 70g

Amount of pure water  = 2000 - 70 = 1930g

A reference point is an object or location from which the movement of another object is determined. Which of the following could be
a reference point?
I. a house
II. a moving car
III. a point on a map
IV. a person
A. I,III and IV only
B. I, II, III, and IV
C. Ill only
D. I and III only

Answers

Answer:

C. Ill only

Explanation:

Motion can be defined as a change in location with respect to a reference point.

This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.

Mathematically, the motion of an object is described in terms of acceleration, time, distance, speed, velocity, displacement etc.

A reference point is an object or location from which the movement of another object is determined.

Thus, a point on a map is considered to be a reference point because it represents the starting point of an object or person in motion.

at a particulat temperature, a smaple of pure water has a Kw of 7.7x10-14. what is the hydroxide concentration of this sample

Answers

Answer: The hydroxide concentration of this sample is [tex]3.85\times 10^{-7}[/tex]

Explanation:

When an expression is formed by taking the product of concentration of ions raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients in the solution of a salt is known as ionic product.

The ionic product for water is written as:

[tex]K_w=[H^+]\times [OH^-][/tex]

[tex]7.7\times 10^{-14}=[H^+]\times [OH^-][/tex]

As [tex][H^+]=[OH^-][/tex]

[tex]2[OH^-]=7.7\times 10^{-14}[/tex]

[tex][OH^-]=3.85\times 10^{-7}[/tex]

Thus hydroxide concentration of this sample is [tex]3.85\times 10^{-7}[/tex]

What are explosives?

Explosives are chemicals releasing lot of heat energy to the surrounding upon  decomposition. Nitrogen compounds, hydrogen etc are explosive and they will explode in air or water.

Chemicals have to handled carefully and stored as per the conditions based on their chemical and physical properties. Some of them may easily corrode. Some may rapidly reacts with water or air and some may explode in air.

Explosive chemicals causes atmospheric pollution as well as health risk by releasing hazardous chemicals. If they are contaminated then there may occur some unwanted reaction and it will make the risk intense by producing toxic gases.
