Answer:

Answer: (b) F

Explanation:

Sodium has 1, magnesium has 2 and Aluminium has 3 electrons in its outermost shell whereas Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outermost shell hence Fluorine does not lose electrons easily.

The electronic configuration of fluorine is 2,7.

Fluorine is the ninth element with a total of 9 electrons.

The first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital.

The next 2 electrons for F go in the 2s orbital.

The remaining five electrons will go in the 2p orbital. Therefore the F electron configuration will be 1s22s22p5.

Show how water can serve as a base by showing the chemical equation of water reacting with hydrochloric acid. g

goldfiish [28.3K]

So, water reacts with hydrochloric acid in the following formula

H2O + HCl —-> H3O+ + Cl-

We can visualize that when the two react, the hydrogen ions is taken on by the water molecule. This satisfies one of the definitions for a base

Bronsted acids = anything that donates a proton (H+ ion)

Bronsted bases = anything that accepts a proton (H+ ion)

So, as we can see, that is exactly what is happening. The Cl- and H+ detach and then the water takes on that extra H+.

H3O+ is what we call a hydronium ion

The radioactivity due to carbon-14 measured in a piece of a wood from an ancient site was found to produce 20 counts per minute

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The answer is "17200 years".

Explanation:

Given:

$A = 20 \ \frac{counts}{minute}\\\\A_{o} = 160\ \frac{counts}{minute}$

Let the half-life of carbon-14, is beta emitter, is $T = 5730\ years$

Constant decay $\ w = \frac{0.693}{ T}$

$= 1.209 \times 10^{-4} \ \frac{1}{year}\\$

The artifact age $t= ?$

$A = A_{o} e^{-wt} \\\\e^{-wt} = \frac{A}{A_{o}}\\\\-wt = \ln \frac{A}{A_{o}}\\\\= -2.079\\\\t = 1.7199 \times 10^{4} \ years\\\\\sim \ 17200\ years\\$
