The Diprotodon apparently become extinct <u>20,000 years</u> ago.

<h3>Briefly explained</h3>

This question is in reference to the use of carbon 14 dating. We know the specific activity of a Australian marsupial. Based on the carbon 14 present. It's .61 PICO curie program. Modern carbon has a specific activity of 6.89 PICO curie program. So all we need to do then is use the first order integrated rate law to solve for the time that has elapsed with Both of these activities as part of the equation.

But before we can do that we need the decay constant for carbon 14, which we can get by dividing the half life Of carbon 14 into natural log of two. And we get 1.21 times 10 to give 14, 1 over years. So using the first order integrated rate law, the natural log of the activity at time, T divided by the activity Um at time zero represented by present day Will be equal to negative K. multiplied by T.

Little Algebraic rearrangement gives us an age of 20,000 years.

72.0 grams of water how many miles of sodium with react with it?
Flura [38]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{8.00 mol}}

Explanation:

We will need a balanced chemical equation with masses, moles, and molar masses.

1. Gather all the information in one place:

Mᵣ:                  18.02

            2Na + H₂O ⟶ 2NaOH + H₂

m/g:                72.0  

2. Moles of H₂O

\text{Moles of H$_{2}$O} = \text{72.0 g H$_{2}$O} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol H$_{2}$O}}{\text{18.02 g  H$_{2}$O}} = \text{3.996 mol H$_{2}$O}

3. Moles of Na

The molar ratio is 2 mol Na/1 mol H₂O.

\text{Moles of Na} =  \text{3.996 mol H$_{2}$O} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol Na}}{\text{1 mol H$_{2}$O}} = \textbf{8.00 mol Na}\\\\\text{The water will react with $\large \boxed{\textbf{ 8.00 mol}}$ of Na}

amid [387]
<span>As mentioned, the isomerization of cyclopropane to propylene is a first-order process with a half-life of 19 min at 500°c. A first-order reaction kinetic rates means that the rate is constant throughout the reaction.

Thus, the time it takes for the partial pressure of cyclopropane to decrease from 1 atm to 0.125 atm at 500°c is </span><span>57 minutes.</span>
