Answer:

= 5.193 g

Explanation:

Half life is the time taken by a radioactive element to decay by half its original amount. Therefore, since half life of carbon-14 is 5700 years, then it would take 5700 years for a sample of carbon-14 to decay by half of its original amount.

Using the formula;

New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half lives.

n = Period taken/Half life = 6350 years/5700 years =1.114

Therefore;

New mass = 11.24 × (1/2)^1.114

                 = 5.193 g

Hence, a mass of 5.193 g of Carbon-14 would remain after 6350 years.

Determine the percent water in MgSO4*7H20?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

\% H_2O=51.2\%

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the percent water is computed by dividing the amount of water by the total mass of the hydrate; we infer we first need the molar mass of water and that of the hydrate as shown below:

MM_{MgSO_4* 7H_2O}=120.36 g/mol+7*18.02g/mol\\\\MM_{MgSO_4* 7H_2O}=246.5g/mol

Thus, the percent water is:

\% H_2O=\frac{7*MM_{H_2O}}{MM_{MgSO_4* 7H_2O}} *100\%\\\\

So we plug in to obtain:

\% H_2O=\frac{7*18.02}{246.5} *100\%\\\\\% H_2O=51.2\%

Best regards!

Alchemists were medieval scholars and philosophers who were the forerunners of modern-day chemists. many tried repeatedly to tra
AlladinOne [14]

Answer is: because they were using simple chemical reactions to transform elements, but that is possible only with nuclear reactions, which in that time were not possible to conduct.

Nuclear reactions can produce new elements, because number of protons and neutrons is changed, lead and gold have different atomic and mass numbers.

The electrons of an atom participates in a chemical reaction, chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons, because there is transfer, loss, gain and sharing of electrons in chemical reactions, new elements are not formed.

A 51.24-g sample of Ba(OH)2 is dissolved in enough water to make 1.20 liters of solution. How many mL of this solution must be d
g100num [7]

Answer:

0.40 L

Explanation:

Calculation of the moles of Ba(OH)_2 as:-

Mass = 51.24 g

Molar mass of Ba(OH)_2 = 171.34 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{51.24\ g}{171.34\ g/mol}

Moles= 0.2991\ mol

Volume = 1.20 L

The expression for the molarity is:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Molarity=\frac{0.2991\ mol}{1.20\ L}=0.24925\ M

Thus,

Considering

Molarity_{working\ solution}\times Volume_{working\ solution}=Molarity_{stock\ solution}\times Volume_{stock\ solution}

Given  that:

Molarity_{working\ solution}=0.100\ M

Volume_{working\ solution}=1\ L

Volume_{stock\ solution}=?

Molarity_{stock\ solution}=0.24925\ M

So,  

0.100\ M\times 1\ L=0.24925\ M\times Volume_{stock\ solution}

Volume_{stock\ solution}=\frac{0.100\times 1}{0.24925}\ L=0.40\ L

<u>The volume of 0.24925M stock solution added = 0.40 L </u>
