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.

A 35.40 gram hydrate of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3•nH2O, is heated to a constant mass. Its final weight is 30.2 g. What is formula
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Na₂CO₃•H₂O

Explanation:

After it is heated, the remaining mass is the mass of sodium carbonate.

30.2 g Na₂CO₃

Mass is conserved, so the difference is the mass of the water:

35.4 g − 30.2 g = 5.2 g H₂O

Convert masses to moles:

30.2 g Na₂CO₃ × (1 mol Na₂CO₃ / 106 g Na₂CO₃) = 0.285 mol Na₂CO₃

5.2 g H₂O × (1 mol H₂O / 18.0 g H₂O) = 0.289 mol H₂O

Normalize by dividing by the smallest:

0.285 / 0.285 = 1.00 mol Na₂CO₃

0.289 / 0.285 = 1.01 mol H₂O

The ratio is approximately 1:1.  So the formula of the hydrate is Na₂CO₃•H₂O.
