Charcoal with a carbon-14 activity of 0.60 compared to new wood has less than 5,730 years.

<h3>What is a radioactive isotope?</h3>

A radioactive isotope is an element in nature that emit radioactivity in a given period of time (e.g., the half-life for C14 is equal to 5,730 years).

Radioactive dating is a technique to measure the age of an element by measuring its radioactive activity.

In conclusion, charcoal with a carbon-14 activity of 0.60 compared to new wood has less than 5,730 yr.

Part 1. A chemist reacted 12.0 liters of F2 gas with NaCl in the laboratory to form Cl2 gas and NaF. Use the ideal gas law equat
galben [10]

The mass of NaCl needed for the reaction is 91.61 g

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of F₂ that reacted.

  • Volume (V) = 12 L
  • Temperature (T) = 280 K
  • Pressure (P) = 1.5 atm
  • Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol
  • Number of mole (n) =?

PV = nRT

1.5 × 12 = n × 0.0821 × 280

18 = n × 22.988

Divide both side by 22.988

n = 18 / 22.988

n = 0.783 mole

Next, we shall determine the mole of NaCl needed for the reaction.

F₂ + 2NaCl —> Cl₂ + 2NaF

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of F₂ reacted with 2 moles of NaCl.

Therefore,

0.783 mole F₂ will react with = 0.783 × 2 = 1.566 moles of NaCl.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of 1.566 moles of NaCl.

  • Mole = 1.566 moles
  • Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol
  • Mass of NaCl =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of NaCl = 1.566 × 58.5

Mass of NaCl = 91.61 g

Therefore, the mass of NaCl needed for the reaction is 91.61 g
