Answer:The age can be determined by utilizing carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of carbon.
Explanation:
Answer:
5.52atm
Explanation:
Using the pressure law formula:
P1/T1 = P2/T2
Where;
P1 = initial pressure (atm)
P2 = final pressure (atm)
T1 = initial temperature (K)
T2 = final temperature (K)
According to the question, the following information were provided;
P1 = 4.72 atm
P2 = ?
T1 = -3.50°C = -3.50 + 273 = 269.5K
T2 = 42°C = 42 + 273 = 315K
Using P1/T1 = P2/T2
4.72/269.5 = P2/315
CROSS MULTIPLY
4.72 × 315 = 269.5 × P2
1,486.8 = 269.5P2
P2 = 1,486.8 ÷ 269.5
P2 = 5.52atm
<span>1.40 x 10^5 kilograms of calcium oxide
The reaction looks like
SO2 + CaO => CaSO3
First, determine the mass of sulfur in the coal
5.00 x 10^6 * 1.60 x 10^-2 = 8.00 x 10^4
Now lookup the atomic weights of Sulfur, Calcium, and Oxygen.
Sulfur = 32.065
Calcium = 40.078
Oxygen = 15.999
Calculate the molar mass of CaO
CaO = 40.078 + 15.999 = 56.077
Since 1 atom of sulfur makes 1 atom of sulfur dioxide, we don't need the molar mass of sulfur dioxide. We merely need the number of moles of sulfur we're burning. divide the mass of sulfur by the atomic weight.
8.00 x 10^4 / 32.065 = 2.49 x 10^3 moles
Since 1 molecule of sulfur dioxide is reacted with 1 molecule of calcium oxide, just multiply the number of moles needed by the molar mass
2.49 x 10^3 * 56.077 = 1.40 x 10^5
So you need to use 1.40 x 10^5 kilograms of calcium oxide per day to treat the sulfur dioxide generated by burning 5.00 x 10^6 kilograms of coal with 1.60% sulfur.</span>
