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

In the context of small molecules with similar molar masses, arrange these intermolecular forces by strength (hydrogen bonding -
Katarina [22]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Arrangement of inter molecular forces from strongest to weakest.

  • Hydrogen bonding
  • Dipole-dipole interactions
  • London dispersion forces.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Intermolecular forces are defined as the attractive forces between two molecules due to some polar sides of molecules. They can be between nonpolar molecules.

Hydrogen bonding is a type of dipole dipole interaction between the positive charge hydrogen ion and the slightly negative pole of a molecule. For example H---O bonding between water molecules.

Dipole dipole interactions are also attractive interactions between the slightly positive head of one molecule and the negative pole of other molecules.

But they are weaker than hydrogen bonding.

London dispersion forces are temporary interactions caused due to electronic dispersion in atoms of two molecules placed together. They are usually in nonpolar molecules like F2, I2. they are weakest interactions.

Which of the following is defined as the mass of an atom based on the mass of an atom of carbon-12?
iogann1982 [59]
<span>This would be the atomic mass. In an atom of carbon-12, there are 6 protons and 6 neutrons at rest (electrons have a negligible mass and are usually not part of the overall mass calculation). All atomic masses are based off the measurements of this specific iteration of carbon.</span>

What do we call the amount of energy required to change from a liquid to a gas?
rewona [7]
Hello!

When something is a liquid then turns to a gas, this is known as evaporating so we would call it the heat of evaporation or also known as latent heat. Just remember liquid to gas is vapor! 

I hope this helped!

I am, yours most sincerely,
