What process uses analysis of the decay of atomic particles to determine exact age?

Chemistry

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.

If 1.00 g of a hydrocarbon is combusted and found to produce 3.14 g of co2, what is the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon?
photoshop1234 [79]
The combustion reaction is as expressed,

                CxHy + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

The mass fraction of carbon in CO2 is 3/11. Hence,
       mass of C in CO2 = (3.14 g)(3/11) = 0.86 g C.

Given that we have 1 g of the hydrocarbon, the mass of H is equal to 0.14 g. 

     moles of C = 0.86 g C / 12 g = 0.0713
     moles of H = 0.14 g H / 1 g  = 0.14

The empirical formula for the hydrocarbon is therefore, CH₂.

Use the atomic mass of indium to calculate the relative abundance of indium-113.
ASHA 777 [7]

The relative abundance of indium-113 is 4%.

The isotopes are species of the same element having the same atomic number but a different mass number.

The elements occurring in nature exist as multiple isotopes.

When we take into account the existence of these isotopes and their relative abundance (percent), the average atomic mass of that element can be computed, which is given by the following formula,

Average atomic Mass= (%age of isotope 1) x (Mass of isotope 1) + (%age of isotope 2) x (Mass of isotope 2)/100

Indium exists in the form of Indium-113 and Indium-115.

The mass of Indium-113 is 112.90 u.

The mass of Indium-115 is 114.90 u.

The average atomic mass of Indium is 114.82 u.

Let the %age of isotope 1(Indium-113) be X.

Then, the %age of isotope 2(Indium-115) would be 100-X.

Applying the values in the formula,

Average atomic mass = 112.90X+114.90(100-X)

114.82 = 112.90X+114.90(100-X)

On solving the above equation, the value of X comes out to be 4%.

Thus, the relative abundance/%age abundance of Indium-113 is 4%.
