We are given the following equation:

y = y0 e^-0.0001216 t

where y = 1/5 y0, y0 is the original amount

So solving for time t:

1/5 y0= y0 e^-0.0001216 t

t = 13,235.51 years

 

So the human died about 13235.5 years ago

2. How many grams of water can be heated from 20.0 oC to 75oC using 12500.0 Joules?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer;

  = 0.054 kg or 54 g

Explanation;

Using the equation; Q = mcΔT where Q is the quantity of heat transferred, m is the mass, c is specific heat of the substance, ΔT is delta T, the change in temperature.  

ΔT = 75 - 20 = 55 C.  

Solve the equation for m  

m = Q/ cΔT

Mass = 12500 / (55 × 4200)

        = 0.054 kg or 54 g

Identify the conjugate acid/base pairs in each of the following equations:
Valentin [98]

Answer:

(a) Pair 1: H₂S and HS⁻

    Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺

(b) Pair 1: HSO₄⁻ and SO₄⁻

    Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺

(c) Pair 1: HBr and Br⁻

    Pair 2: CH₃O⁻ and CH₃OH

(d)  Pair 1: HNO₃ and NO₃⁻

     Pair 2: H₃O⁺

Explanation:

When an acid loses its proton (H⁺), a conjugate base is produced.

When a base accepts a proton (H⁺), it forms a conjugate acid.

(a) H₂S is an acid. When it loses a proton, it forms the conjugate base HS⁻.

    NH₃ is a base. When NH₃ gains a proton, it forms the conjugate acid NH₄⁺

(b) The acid HSO₄⁻ loses a H⁺ ion and forms the conjugate base SO₄²⁻.

     The base NH₃ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid NH₄⁺.

(c) HBr is an acid. When loses the H⁺ ion, it forms the conjugate base Br⁻.

   CH₃O⁻ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid CH₃OH.

(d) HNO₃ loses a proton to form the conjugate base NO₃⁻.

    H₂O gains a proton to form the conjugate acid H₃O⁺.

Please Help Weak Acid Base Problems!!!
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The procedure for calculating the pH of a solution of a weak base is similar to that of the weak acid in the sample problem. However, the variable x will represent the concentration of the hydroxide ion. The pH is found by taking the negative logarithm to get the pOH, followed by subtracting from 14 to get the pH.

What does kinetic energy depends on
elena55 [62]
The kinetic energy of an object depends on two factors: mass(m) and velocity(v). The mass of an object can be measured in kilograms(kg) and velocity of the object in meters per second(m/s).
