Explanation:

Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a specified chronology in archaeology and geology. Some scientists prefer the terms chronometric or calendar dating, as use of the word "absolute" implies an unwarranted certainty of accuracy.

What mass of silver oxide, Ag2O is required to produce 25.0 g of silver sulfadiazine, AgC10H9N4SO2, from the reaction of silver

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

8.1107 g

Explanation:

The given reaction:

$2C_{10}H_{10}N_4SO_2+Ag_2O\rightarrow 2AgC_{10}H_9N_4SO_2+H_2O$

Given that:

Mass of silver sulfadiazine = 25.0 g

Molar mass of silver sulfadiazine = 357.14 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

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

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{25.0\ g}{357.14\ g/mol}$

$Moles= 0.07\ mol$

From the reaction,

2 moles of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1 mole of silver oxide

So,

1 mole of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1/2 mole of silver oxide

0.07 mole of silver sulfadiazine are formed from 1/2*0.07 mole of silver oxide

Moles of silver oxide = 0.035 moles

Molar mass of silver oxide = 231.735 g/mol

Mass = Moles * Molar mass = 0.035 moles * 231.735 g/mol = 8.1107 g

What two forces act in the nucleus to create a 'nuclear tug-of-war'?

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Electrostatic repulsion, strong nuclear force

Explanation:

The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. protons are positively charged while neutrons possess no charge.

Since protons are positively charged, they repel each other strongly (like charges repel). This strong repulsion of like charges makes the nucleus somewhat unstable leading to spontaneous fission of heavy nuclei.

However, an opposing force called nuclear attractive force tends to hold the nucleons together. This attraction occurs when two nucleons are bonded by a particle called a π meson.

Hence, the two forces that act in the nucleus to create a 'nuclear tug-of-war' are electrostatic repulsion and a strong nuclear force.

60 kg of fuel was completely burnt for an experiment. The amount of heat energy was found to be 180000KJ. Calculate calorific va

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

3000 kJ/kg

Explanation:

The calorific value of a substance is the amount of heat produced per unit mass by the combustion of the substance.

It is given by:

$C=\frac{Q}{m}$

where

Q is the amount of heat released

m is the mass of the fuel

In this problem, we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of fuel

$Q=180,000 kJ$ is the amount of heat released

Therefore, the calorific value of the fuel is:

$C=\frac{180,000}{60}=3000 kJ/kg$
