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

Which of the following would be expected to have the highest viscosity? CH3CH2OH, HOCH2OH, CH3CH2CH3
zaharov [31]

Answer: Out of the given options HOCH_{2}OH is expected to have the highest viscosity.

Explanation:

The resistance occurred in the flow of a liquid substance is called viscosity.

More stronger is the intermolecular forces present in a substance more will be its resistance in its flow. Hence, more will be its viscosity.

For example,  HOCH_{2}OH has strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding than the one's present in CH_{3}CH_{2}OH and CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{3}. This is because two-OH groups are present over here.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options HOCH_{2}OH is expected to have the highest viscosity.

Which one of the following exhibits dipole-dipole attraction between molecules?
Maslowich

Answer: No one. All these molecules are nonpolar.

Explanation: Dipole-dipole attractions occur only between polar molecules.  To know if a molecule is polar, you have to observe if their dipole moment (μ) is different from 0. You can do this by observing the vectors of charge in each molecule.

In all the molecules of the alternatives, the overall molecule is nonpolar (the sum of the vectors is equal to 0). So, these molecules are attracted only by induced dipole forces (weak forces that exist between nonpolar molecules).

For F2, this molecule is nonpolar because is composed of equal atoms. So, there isn't an atom which pulls the charge for itself.

If one mole of a substance has a mass of 56.0 g, what is the mass of 11 nanomoles of the substance? Express your answer in nanog
9966 [12]

Answer:

616,0 ng is the right answer.

Explanation:

You should know that 1 mole = 1 .10^9 nanomoles

Get the rule of three.

1 .10^9 nanomoles ...................... 56.0 gr

11 nanomoles .....................

(11 x 56) / 1 .10^9 nanomoles = 6.16 x 10^-7 gr

Let's convert

6.16 x 10^-7 gr x 1 .10^9 = 616 ngr
