Some people can get confused with carbon dating. Most people think it is used to show the age of a fossil or a rock. The rocks and fossils are called "inorganic matter" it is called that because it is not a living thing if it was a living thing then it would be called "organic matter". Carbon dating is usually only useful for organic matter that is less than 3-5,000 years old. I'm not sure if this helped but I hope you get the answer.

Because it is simply to young to use carbon dating, carbon dating is only used for things thousands to millions of years old.

Write the balanced equation and Ka expression for the Bronsted-Lowery acid H2AsO4 -- in water?
n200080 [17]

Answer: a. H_2AsO_4^{-}(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow HAsO_4^{2-}(aq)+H_3O^+(aq)

b. K_a=\frac{[HAsO_4^{2-}]\times [H_3O^+]}{[H_2AsO_4^{-}]}

Explanation:-

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

The balanced chemical equation is:

H_2AsO_4^{-}(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow HAsO_4^{2-}(aq)+H_3O^+(aq)

Here, H_2AsO_4^{-} is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms HAsO_4^{2-} which is a conjugate base.

And, H_2O is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms H_3O^+ which is a conjugate acid.

The dissociation constant is given by:

K_a=\frac{[HAsO_4^{2-}]\times [H_3O^+]}{[H_2AsO_4^-]}

If a sample contains 21.2 g N, how many moles of N does it contain? 0.66 mol 1.51 mol 14.01 mol 297.01 mol
SVEN [57.7K]
M(N)=21.2 g
M(N)=14.007 g/mol

n(N)=m(N)/M(N)

n(N)=21.2g/(14.007g/mol)=1.51 mol
