<span>There is a starting mass of 36g of Potassium-40. After 1.3 billion years, there would be 18g of Argon-40. After 2.6 billion years, half of the remaining Potassium-40 would have decayed, leaving 9g of Potassium-40 and giving us 27g of Argon-40. Following this pattern, we see that three half-lives, or 3.9 billion years, have passed. The age of the rock sample is 3.9 billion years.</span>

Direct electron transfer from a singlet reduced species to a triplet oxidizing species is quantum-mechanically forbidden
posledela

Direct electron transfer from a a singlet reduced species to a triplet oxidizing species is quantum-mechanically forbidden.

<h3><u>Transfer from singlet to triplet:</u></h3>
  • Either an excited singlet state or an excited triplet state will occur when an electron in a molecule with a singlet ground state is stimulated (through radiation absorption) to a higher energy level.
  • All electron spins in a molecule electronic state known as a singlet are coupled.
  • In other words, the ground state electron and the stimulated electron's spin are still coupled (a pair of electrons in the same energy level must have opposite spins, per the Pauli exclusion principle).
  • The excited electron and ground state electron are parallel in a triplet state because they are no longer coupled (same spin).
  • It is less likely that a triplet state would arise when the molecule absorbs radiation since excitation to a triplet state necessitates an additional "forbidden" spin transfer.

If a block has the mass of 15.00 grams and measurements of 5.00cm by 3.00cm by 2.00cm what is the volume of the block?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Volume = 30cm³

Explanation:

A block is a geometrical figure and its volume, -look at the figure-, follows the equation:

Volume = Width*Length*Height

As the measurements of the block are 5.00cm, 3.00cm and 2.00cm, the volume is:

Volume = 5.00cm*2.00cm*3.00cm

<h3>Volume = 30cm³</h3>

How many liters of carbon dioxide can be produced if 37.8 grams of carbon disulfide react with excess oxygen gas at 28.85 degree
alekssr [168]
37.8 grams of CS2 equals to 37.8/76=0.5 mole. So the products have 0.5 mole CO2 which is 11.2 liters at STP. So according to the gas law, the volume at given condition is 12.4 liters. So the answer should be 12.2 liters.

The molarity (M) of an aqueous solution containing 29.8 g of sucrose, C12H22O11, in 120 mL of solution is:
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

0.726 mol·L⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

c = moles/litres

=====

Moles = 29.8 × 1/342.30

Moles = 0.087 06 mol

=====

Litres = 120 × 1/1000

Litres = 0.120 L

=====

c = 0.087 06/0.120

c = 0.725 mol·L⁻¹
