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

Given that a for HBrO is 2. 8×10^−9 at 25°C. What is the value of b for BrO− at 25°C?
lara [203]

If Ka for HBrO is 2. 8×10^−9 at 25°C, then the value of Kb for BrO− at 25°C is 3.5× 10^(-6).

<h3>What is base dissociation constant? </h3>

The base dissociation constant (Kb) is defined as the measurement of the ions which base can dissociate or dissolve in the aqueous solution. The greater the value of base dissociation constant greater will be its basicity an strength.

The dissociation reaction of hydrogen cyanide can be given as

HCN --- (H+) + (CN-)

Given,

The value of Ka for HCN is 2.8× 10^(-9)

The correlation between base dissociation constant and acid dissociation constant is

Kw = Ka × Kb

Kw = 10^(-14)

Substituting values of Ka and Kw,

Kb = 10^(-14) /{2.8×10^(-9) }

= 3.5× 10^(-6)

Thus, we find that if Ka for HBrO is 2. 8×10^−9 at 25°C, then the value of Kb for BrO− at 25°C is 3.5× 10^(-6).

DISCLAIMER: The above question have mistake. The correct question is given as

Choose the answer that best completes the following statement: When an aluminum atom reacts so as to attain a noble gas electron
boyakko [2]

The options

Select one:

a. a 3- ion forms.

b. the noble gas configuration of argon is achieved.

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

d. the atom gains five electrons.

Answer:

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

Explanation:

Aluminium atom has atomic number of 13 , hence the number of electron is 13 for a neutral atom of aluminium. When aluminium atom reacts with other elements it usually gives out three electron to attain the octet configuration.

The cation representation of aluminium is Al3+ because it has loss three electron to attain the octet rule. Aluminium will be left with 10 electrons after losing 3 of it electrons. The electronic configuration will be represented as follows after losing three electrons;

1S² 2S² 2P∧6 .

At this stage the octet rule has been achieved as it will be represented as

2  8.  The first energy shell now contains two electron and the second energy shell contains 8 electrons.

The configuration of  Neon has been formed in the process.

The graphics below shows how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are related.
lisov135 [29]

Options found from another source are:

a. oxygen. b. glucose. c. energy stored as ATP. d. carbon dioxide and water

Answer:

c energy stored as ATP

Explanation:

Cellular respiration converts glucose into energy in the form of ATP (c). The answer cannot be oxygen (a), because this is required for this process as a final electron acceptor. In terms of photosynthesis, oxygen is released as a by-product. The answer cannot be glucose (b) because that is our starting point for respiration, and what is synthesised during photosynthesis. The answer cannot be (d) as carbon dioxide and water are released by cellular respiration, and required by photosynthesis

the copper anode is weighed before and after the electrolysis reation. if the copper anode is not completely dry when it is weig
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Faraday's constant will be smaller than it is supposed to be.

Explanation:

If the copper anode was not completely dry when its mass was measured, mass of the copper must be heavier than it should have been. Hence, the calculated Faraday’s constant would be smaller than it is supposed to be since when calculating Faraday’s Constant, the charge transferred is divided by the moles of electrons.
