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.

Which of the following statements is TRUE? (A) An ionic bond is much stronger than most covalent bonds.(B) Once dissolved in wat
Ainat [17]

Answer:

A)  An ionic bond is much stronger than most covalent bonds.

Explanation:

D) Ionic compounds have high melting points causing them to be solid at room temperature, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Covalent compounds have low melting points and many are liquids or gases at room temperature.

C) An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms.

A) Covalent bonds are stronger if you compare with ionic molecules, because their molecular orbital overlap is bigger. However, ionic molecules form lattices, thus the energy to break this lattice bond is stronger hence the ionic bond is stronger.
