A wooden object from the site of an ancient temple has a carbon-14 activity of 10 counts/min compared with a reference piece of

wood cut today that has an activity of 40 counts/min. If the half-life for carbon-14 is 5730 y, what is the age of the ancient wood object?

4 0

Answer:

Age of the ancient wood object is 11460 years.

Explanation:

We know that half-life for carbon-14 is 5730 years. That means the activity of the sample will decrease to half every 5730 years.

Now we construct the following table:

activity (counts/min)        age of the wooden object

      40                                                  0

      20                                               5730

      10                                                11460

A compound has a molecular weight of 12.124 atomic mass units and the empirical formula C3H40. What is the molecular formula of
stepladder [879]

Answer:

the empirical formula gives the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in the compound. Molecular formula gives the actual composition of elements in the compound.

Explanation:

empirical formula - CH₂O

Mass of one empirical unit = 12 + (1x2) + 16 = 30 a.m.u

We have to next calculate how many empirical units make up the molecular formula. For that we have to divide molecular mass by mass of one empirical unit.

Number of empirical units = 180 a.m.u / 30 = 6

There are 6 empirical units 

Therefore molecular formula = 6 x(CH₂O) = C₆H₁₂O₆

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

There are _____ major plates that make up the most of the continents and the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean.
nasty-shy [4]

Answer and Explanation:

<u>D) 7 is the answer</u>

Together, the crust and the upper part of the mantle form the lithosphere, Earth's solid outer shell. This rocky, brittle layer is broken up into seven major and several minor tectonic plates (also known as lithospheric plates) that fit together like puzzle pieces.

The titration of Na2CO3 with HCl has the following qualitative profile: a. Identify the major species in solution at points A-F.
exis [7]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

Note: This question is incomplete and lacks very important data to solve this question. But I have found the similar question which shows the profiles about which question discusses. Using the data from that question, I have solved the question.

a) We need to find the major species from A to F.

Major Species at A:

1. Na_{2} CO_{3}

Major Species at B:

1. Na_{2} CO_{3}

2. NaHCO_{3}

Major Species at C:

1. NaHCO_{3}

Major Species at D:

1. NaHCO_{3}

2. H_{2}CO_{3}

Major Species at E:

1. H_{2}CO_{3}

Major Species at F:

1. H_{2}CO_{3}

b) pH calculation:

At Halfway point B:

pH = pKa_{1} + log[CO_{3}.^{-2}]/[HCO_{3}.^{-1}]

pH = pKa_{1} = 6.35

Similarly, at halfway point D.  

At point D,

pH = pKa_{2} + log [HCO_{3}.^{-1}]/[H2CO_{3}]

pH = pKa_{2} = 10.33
