The age of a material or how old the material is.
Kisachek [45]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The age of material

Explanation:

Radiocarbon dating is the method which is used to determine age of object that contains organic material by using properties of radiocarbon (¹⁴C).

The ¹⁴C in form of radioactive carbon dioxide formed in the atmosphere is incorporated into the plants by photosynthesis and also animals acquire ¹⁴C by eating these plants.

When a animal or a plant dies, they stops exchanging the carbon with environment and that point onward, the amount of ¹⁴C present in the body of them, begins to decrease as it  undergoes radioactive decay.

<u>Measuring amount of ¹⁴C can be used to calculate when the animal or the plant died. Hence, it is used to determine the age of the material.</u>

What is the minimum cation-to-anion radius ratio (rC/rA) for an octahedral interstitial lattice site?
mash [69]

Answer:

0. 414

Explanation:

Octahedral interstitial lattice sites.

Octahedral interstitial lattice sites are in a plane parallel to the base plane between two compact planes and project to the center of an elementary triangle of the base plane.

The octahedral sites are located halfway between the two planes. They are vertical to the locations of the spheres of a possible plane. There are, therefore, as many octahedral sites as there are atoms in a compact network.

The Octahedral interstitial void ratio range is 0.414 to 0.732. Thus, the minimum cation-to-anion radius ratio for an octahedral interstitial lattice site is 0. 414.

What best discribes the relationship between wavelength and frequency in a electromagnetic wave
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength

Explanation:

All light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength.

How many molecules of NH3 are produced from 4.72x10 negative 4 power g of H2?
Delvig [45]
<span>9.40x10^19 molecules.
   The balanced equation for ammonia is:
 N2 + 3H2 ==> 2NH3
   So for every 3 moles of hydrogen gas, 2 moles of ammonia is produced. So let's calculate the molar mass of hydrogen and ammonia, starting with the respective atomic weights:
 Atomic weight nitrogen = 14.0067
  Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794

   Molar mass H2 = 2 * 1.00794 = 2.01588 g/mol
 Molar mass NH3 = 14.0067 + 3 * 1.00794 = 17.03052 g/mol

   Moles H2 = 4.72 x 10^-4 g / 2.01588 g/mol = 2.34140921086573x10^-4 mol
   Moles NH3 = 2.34140921086573x10^-4 mol * (2/3) = 1.56094x10^-4 mol

Now to convert from moles to molecules, just multiply by Avogadro's number: 1.56094x10^-4 * 6.0221409x10^23 = 9.400197448261x10^19
   Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 9.40x10^19 molecules.</span>

Find the ph of a buffer that consists of 0.18 m ch3nh2 and 0.73 m ch3nh3cl (pkb of ch3nh2 = 3.35)?
ozzi
Hello!

First, we need to determine the pKa of the base. It can be found applying the following equation:

pKa=14-pKb=14-3,35=10,65

Now, we can apply the Henderson-Hasselbach's equation in the following way:

pH=pKa+log( \frac{[CH_3NH_2]}{[CH_3NH_3Cl]} )=10,65+log( \frac{0,18M}{0,73M} )=10,04

So, the pH of this buffer solution is 10,04

Have a nice day!
