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?

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

What happens when nitrogen fills its valence shell?
Sauron [17]
The right answer is D. three electrons are gained, creating N-3

Nitrogen has 5 electrons in it's valence shell and octet rule states that the valence shell must have 8 electrons. To satisfy that, Nitrogen gains 3 electrons that are negatively charged.Therefore, it gets a negative charge.

How many calories of heat are necessary to raise the temperature of 319.5 g of water from 35.7 °C
rjkz [21]

20600Cal              

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water = 319.5g

Initial temperature = 35.7°C

Final temperature = 100°C

Unknown:

Calories needed to heat the water = ?

Solution:

The calories is the amount of heat added to the water. This can be determined using;

     H  =   m  c Ф

c  = specific heat capacity of water = 4.186J/g°C

   H is the amount of heat

    Ф is the change in temperature

    H = m c (Ф₂ - Ф₁)

    H = 319.5 x 4.186 x (100 - 35.7) = 85996.56J

Now;

     1kilocalorie = 4184J

     

85996.56J to kCal; \frac{85996.56}{4184}   = 20.6kCal  = 20600Cal

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer: 0.9375 g

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Moles of solute}={\text{Molarity of the solution}}\times{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}     .....(1)

Molarity of HCl solution = 0.75 M

Volume of HCl solution = 25.0 mL = 0.025 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of} HCl={0.75}\times{0.025}=0.01875moles  

CaCO_3(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CaCl_2(s)+CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)  

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of HCl require = 1 mole of CaCO_3

Thus 0.01875 moles of HCl will require=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.01875=0.009375moles  of CaCO_3

Mass of CaCO_3=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.009375moles\times 100g/mol=0.9375g

Thus 0.9375 g of CaCO_3 is required to react with 25.0 ml of 0.75 M HCl
