A wooden artifact from an ancient tomb contains 60% of the carbon-14 that is present in living trees. How long ago was the artif

act made? (The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. Round your decay rate, r, to 6 decimal places. Then round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

The age of the sample is 4224 years.

Explanation:

Let the age of the sample be t years old.

Initial mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact = 100%

Initial mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = [A_o]

Final mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact t years = 60%

Final mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = [A]=0.06[A_o]

Half life of the carbon-14 = t_{1/2}=5730 years

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}

[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}\times t}

0.60[A_o]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{5730 year}\times t}

Solving for t:

t = 4223.71 years ≈ 4224 years

The age of the sample is 4224 years.

If a helium filled ballon has a volume of 3.4l at 25°c and 1.18atm., what is its volume at STP?​
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

3.711 L

Explanation:

The formula you need to use is the following:

\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\

3.4L / 298 K = V2 / 273 K

V2 = 3.711 L

Suppose a 250. mL flask is filled with 0.30 mol of N_2 and 0.70 mol of NO. The following reaction becomes possible:N_2(g) +O2 →
Inessa [10]

Answer:

0.4 M

Explanation:

Equilibrium occurs when the velocity of the formation of the products is equal to the velocity of the formation of the reactants. It can be described by the equilibrium constant, which is the multiplication of the concentration of the products elevated by their coefficients divided by the multiplication of the concentration of the reactants elevated by their coefficients. So, let's do an equilibrium chart for the reaction.

Because there's no O₂ in the beginning, the NO will decompose:

N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2NO(g)

0.30 0 0.70 Initial

+x +x -2x Reacts (the stoichiometry is 1:1:2)

0.30+x x 0.70-2x Equilibrium

The equilibrium concentrations are the number of moles divided by the volume (0.250 L):

[N₂] = (0.30 + x)/0.250

[O₂] = x/0.25

[NO] = (0.70 - 2x)/0.250

K = [NO]²/([N₂]*[O₂])

K = \frac{(\frac{0.70 -2x}{0.250})^2 }{\frac{0.30+x}{0.250}*\frac{x}{0.250} }

7.70 = (0.70-2x)²/[(0.30+x)*x]

7.70 = (0.49 - 2.80x + 4x²)/(0.30x + x²)

4x² - 2.80x + 0.49 = 2.31x + 7.70x²

3.7x² + 5.11x - 0.49 = 0

Solving in a graphical calculator (or by Bhaskara's equation), x>0 and x<0.70

x = 0.09 mol

Thus,

[O₂] = 0.09/0.250 = 0.36 M ≅ 0.4 M

Will a double replacement reaction occur if a potassium hydroxide solution is mixed with a lead(II) nitrate solution? Briefly ex
ohaa [14]
No - a precipitation will occur though. Potassium nitrate is soluble in water, so the potassium and nitrate ions will remain spectator ions and stay in solution. Lead (II) hydroxide is not soluble, and will precipitate out of solution to form a solid product.
