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

Which element is oxidized in the reaction below? fe(co)5 (l) + 2hi (g) fe(co)4i2 (s) + co (g) + h2 (g)?
DanielleElmas [232]
Oxidation state of I is (-1) and for CO it is zero. Let's assume that the oxidation state of Fe in Fe(CO)₄I₂<span> (s) is x. For whole compound, the charge is zero.

Sum of oxidation numbers in all elements = Charge of the compound.

Here we have 1Fe , 4CO and 2I
hence we can find the oxidation state as;
 x + 4*0 + 2*(-1) = 0
 x + 0 - 2            = 0
                   x     = +2
Hence the oxidation state of Fe in product </span>Fe(CO)₄I₂ (s) is +2.

Same as we can find the oxidation state (y) of Fe in Fe(CO)₅(s).
y + 5*0 = 0
   y        = 0

Since oxidation state of Fe increased from 0 to +2, the oxidized element is Fe in the given reaction.
