Answer:

Radioactive dating

Explanation:

Radioactive dating measures the ratio of C¹²(normal) and C¹⁴ (radioactive) in fossils to determine the exact age of the specimen. C¹⁴ is unstable and has a half life of 5730 years, so as the organism ages the amount of C¹⁴ diminishes but the amount of C¹² remains constant. The ratio of C¹⁴ to C¹² is used to analyze the decay of atomic particles to determine exact age.

How many moles of O2 are produced when 0.425 mol of KO2 reacts in this fashion
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
The chemical reaction is expressed as:

<span> 4KO2+2CO2→2K2CO3+3O2 
</span>
We are given the amount of KO2 to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculations. We do as follows:

0.425 mol KO2 ( 3 mol O2 / 4 mol KO2 ) = 0.319 mol O2 produced

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Which unit abbreviation is a measurement of force?
Artemon [7]
So,

Recall Newton's Second Law of Motion: force = mass x acceleration

Also recall:

acceleration = velocity/time
velocity = distance/time

Distance is expressed in meters.
Time is expressed in seconds.
Mass is expressed in kilograms.

v = m/s
a = m/s^2
F = m * a
F = kg * m/s^2

F= \frac{kg*m}{s^2}

The unit for force is the Newton (N).

a 1.25g sample of ore containing iron pyrite (FeS2) was pulverized and ignited in air, converting the FeS2 to Fe2O3 and SO2(g).
svp [43]

Answer:

28.9%

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

2 FeS₂ + 11/2 O₂ ⇒ Fe₂O₃ + 4 SO₂

We can establish the following relations:

  • The molar mass of Fe₂O₃ is 159.6 g/mol
  • 1 mole of Fe₂O₃ is produced per 2 moles of FeS₂
  • 1 mole of Fe is in 1 mole of FeS₂
  • The molar mass of Fe is 55.84 g/mol

The amount of Fe in the sample that produced 0.516 g of Fe₂O₃ is:

0.516gFe_{2}O_{3}.\frac{1molFe_{2}O_{3}}{159.6gFe_{2}O_{3}} .\frac{2molFeS_{2}}{1molFe_{2}O_{3}} .\frac{1molFe}{1molFeS_{2}} .\frac{55.84gFe}{1molFe} =0.361gFe

The percent of Fe in 1.25 g of the ore is:

\frac{0.361g}{1.25g} .100\%=28.9\%

The decomposition of nitryl chloride is described by the following chemical equation: 2NO2C1(g) → 2NO2 (g)-C12 (g) Suppose a two
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Second reaction

NO2 + F -------> NO2F

Rate of reaction:

k1 [NO2] [F2]

Explanation:

NO2 + F2 -----> NO2F + F slow step1

NO2 + F -------> NO2F fast. Step 2

Since the first step is the slowest step, it is the rate determining step of the reaction

Hence:

rate = k1 [NO2] [F2]
