The age of the ancient piece of wood that she located given the data is 1482 years

How to determine the number of half-lives

Original amount (N₀) = 100%

Amount remaining (N) = 83%

Number of half-lives (n) =?

2ⁿ = N₀ / N

2ⁿ = 100 / 83

2ⁿ = 1.2

Take the Log of both side

Log 2ⁿ = Log 1.2

nLog 2 = Log 1.2

Divide both side by Log 2

n = Log 1.2 / Log 2

n = 0.26

How to determine the age

Number of half-lives (n) = 0.26

Half-life (t½) = 5700 years

Time (t) =?

t = n × t½

t = 0.26 × 5700

t = 1482 years

List the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in Chlorine-18. (3 points)
Mama L [17]

The electronic configuration of Chlorine is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5.


There are three energy levels in chlorine


First energy level is n=1 has 1s2 so total 2 electrons


Second energy level is n=2, 2s2 2p6 so total 2+6= 8 electrons


Third has 3s2 3p5 electrons just 7 total... p can contain 6 electrons but only 5 are present. So the third level has lesser number of electrons than that can be filled

What reaction conditions most effectively conver a cabocxylic acid to a methly ester?
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Esterification reaction

Explanation:

When we have to go from an acid to an ester we can use the <u>esterification reaction</u>. On this reaction, an alcohol reacts with a carboxylic acid on acid medium to produce an ester and water. (See figure).  

In this case, we need the <u>methyl ester</u>, therefore we have to choose the <u>appropriate alcohol</u>, so we have to use the <u>methanol</u> as reactive if we have to produce the methyl ester.
