Answer:
The molecular formula of the compound is .
Explanation:
Given empirical formula of the compound is .
Atomic mass of carbon = 12 u
Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1 u
Atomic mass of oxygen = 16 u
Empirical formula mass of compound =
Molecular mass of compound = 176 g/mol
Molecular formula = n Empirical formula
Molecular formula = 4
Molecular formula of the compound is
Oxygen has 8 protons and 10 electrons due to the addition of 2 electrons, determined from the ion charge. Likewise an ion of potassium has 19 protons and 18 electrons. Charge on fluorine would be -1 and charge on calcium would be +2. Atomic number is the same as the number of protons, so it would be 6, the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons which would be 13, and the charge is 0, as it is an atom and not an ion.
Answer: (4) C-14 to 6-12
Explanation:
Carbon dating is used to estimate the age of wooden trees which use carbon dioxide. Carbon has three naturally occurring isotopes.C-12 and C-13 are stable but C-14 is radioactive. C-14 decays to nitrogen-14 and has a half-life of 5,730 years.
Wooden trees naturally incorporate both the C-12 and C-14 during their lifetimes. When wooden trees die, it stops consuming more of radioactive carbon while the C-14 which is already present in them continues to decay back into nitrogen. With the help of C-12 to C-14 ratio, we can estimate the age of wooden objects.
Answer:
A. Similar elements have such different masses that this would lead to a completely random arrangement of elements.
Explanation:
Because it is the number of protons, which is identical to the atomic number, that separates different elements from each other, not the atomic mass.
