Answer and Explanation:

It's very important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay will remain constant over time to make scientists' lives easier when calculating the ages of fossils, compounds, etc.

If the rate changes, it would be extremely challenging for people to figure out the relative ages of rock strata, fossils, or other substances with radioactive elements in them. This is a fundamental assumption in order to be able to use radioactive dating.

Hope this helps!

Calculate the density of CO2 in g/cm3 at room temperature(25 degrees Celsuis) and pressure(1 atm) assuming it acts as an ideal g

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

$density=1.8x10^{-3}g/mL$

Explanation:

Hello,

Considering the ideal equation of state:

$PV=nRT$

The moles are defined in terms of mass as follows:

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Whereas $M$ the gas' molar mass, thus:

$PV=\frac{mRT}{M}$

Now, since the density is defined as the quotient between the mass and the volume, we get:

$P=\frac{m}{V} \frac{RT}{M}$

Solving for $m/V$ :

$density= m/V=\frac{PM}{RT}$

Thus, the result is given by:

$density=\frac{(1atm)(44g/mol)}{[0.082atm*L/(mol*K)]*298.15K} \\density=1.8g/L=1.8x10^{-3}g/mL$

Best regards.

Calculate the molarity (M) of a 600 ml solution of 0.54 moles of H2SO4.

icang [17]

Molarity (concentration) can be calculated by the equation:
Concentration = moles / volume in L = 0.54 mol / 0.6 L = 0.9 M
Hope this helps!
