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.

How many grams of oxygen gas are needed to react completely with 28.442 grams of sulfur dioxide gas ?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

SO2(g) + O2(g) SO3(g) (needs to be balanced. Balance it by placing a 1/2 in front of the 02.) This is a 5-sig-fig problem, so when you calculate your molar masses, you must use all of the sig figs available to you from the periodic table. That's how you can get this problem correct. Melissa Maribel likes to round the numbers from the periodic table, and usually that is ok. But for problems where you have many sig figs, your molar masses from the periodic table must have at least as many sig figs as your data. Therefore, for each oxygen atom, please use 15.9994 g/mol. For each sulfur atom, please use 32.066 g/mol. Thank you.

A hiker climbs to the top of a mountain at rate of 0.5 me/hr. What are the speed and velocity of the hiker?
Tanzania [10]

A hiker climbs to the top of a mountain at rate of 0.5 m/hr. The speed of hiker is 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ m/s and the velocity of the hiker is 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ m/s west.

Speed is a scalar quantity. It is used to measure the distance traveled in a period of time. It is represented by -

s = d/Δt

where,

s = speed

d = distance

Δt = change in time

Velocity is a vector quantity. It is used to measure the change in position, that is, displacement over the change in time. It is represented by -

v = Δs / Δt

where,

v = velocity

Δs = change in position/displacement

Δt = change in time

The standard unit of velocity and speed both is m/s.

How many atoms are there in 0.57 mol of Zn
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

3.43 * 10^23 atoms of zinc

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's law, one mole of a substance contains a certain number of atoms of the substance commonly referred to as the Avogadro's number.

We already know from Avogadro's law that;

1 mole of zinc contains 6.02 * 10^23 atoms of zinc

Therefore;

0.57 mole of zinc will contain 0.57 * 6.02 * 10^23/1

which gives us 3.43 * 10^23 atoms of zinc
