The time taken by Carbon-14 to decay radioactively from 120g to 112.5g is 22,920 years.

<h3>How do we calculate the total time of decay?</h3>

Time required for the whole radioactive decay of any substance will be calculated by using the below link:

T = (n)(t), where

  • t = half life time = 5730 years
  • n = number of half life required for the decay

Initial mass of Carbon-14 = 120g

Final mass of Carbon-14 = 112.5g

Left mass = 120 - 112 = 7.5g

Number of required half life for this will be:

  • 1: 120 → 60
  • 2: 60 → 30
  • 3: 30 → 15
  • 4: 15 → 7.5

4 half lives are required, now on putting values we get

T = (4)(5730) = 22,920 years

Hence required time for the decay is 22,920 years.

Standard temperature and pressure (STP), in the context of gases, refers to a) 298.15 K and 1 atm b) 273.15 K and 1 atm c) 298.1
lina2011 [118]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 273.15 K and 1 atm

Explanation :

STP : STP stands for standard temperature and pressure.

STP conditions :

The temperature is, 0^oC or 273.15K or 32^oF

The pressure is, 1atm or 101.325kPa

The volume is 22.4 L for 1 mole of a substance.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) 273.15 K and 1 atm

A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17 g of carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen. what is the correct representation of the
yarga [219]

CH3 is the empirical formula for the compound.

A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17g of Carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen.

The number of atom or moles in the compound is

1.17 g C X  1 mol of C / 12.011 g C = 0.097411 mol of C.

0.287 g H x 1 mol of  H / 1 g H = 0.28474 mol H.

This compound contains 0.097411 mol of carbon and 0.28474 mol of Hydrogen.

So we can represent the compound with the formula C0.974H0.284.

Subscripts in formulas can be made into whole numbers by multiplying the smaller subscript by the larger subscript.

we can divide 0.284 by 0.0974.

0.284 / 0.0974 = 3.

So here, Carbon is one and hydrogen is 3.

We can write the above formula as a CH3.

Hence the empirical formula for the sample compound is CH3.

For a detailed study of the empirical formula refer given link brainly.com/question/13058832.
