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.

Dehydrohalogenation of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclopropane affords two alkenes (A and B) as products.
UNO [17]

Explanation:

Dehydrohalogenation reactions occurs as elimination reactions through the following mechanism:

Step 1: A strong base(usually KOH) removes a slightly acidic hydrogen proton from the alkyl halide.

Step 2: The electrons from the broken hydrogen‐carbon bond are attracted toward the slightly positive carbon (carbocation) atom attached to the chlorine atom. As these electrons approach the second carbon, the halogen atom breaks free.

However, elimination will be slower in the exit of Hydrogen atom at the C2 and C3 because of the steric hindrance by the methyl group.

Elimination of the hydrogen from the methyl group is easier.

Thus, the major product will A

Why pie bond are not perticipate in hybridaization​
DedPeter [7]
The first bond between two atoms is always a sigma bond and the other bonds are always pi bonds and a hybridized orbital cannot be involved in a pi bond. Thus we need to leave one electron (in case of Carbon double bond) to let the Carbon have the second bond as a pi bond.

How does the use of synthetic products impact the natural resource from which they are derived?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The series of chemical reactions that are used to change natural resources into synthetic products is called chemical synthesis. To make a "natural" product, the natural resource is not chemically changed as much. ... For example, the synthetic material plastic is made from petroleum, which is pumped out of the earth.
