Answer:

C. The half-life of C-14 is about 40,000 years.

Explanation:

The only false statement from the options is that the half-life of C-14 is 40,000yrs.

The half-life of an isotope is the time it takes for half of a radioactive material to decay to half of its original amount. C-14 has an half-life of 5730yrs. This implies that during every 5730yrs, C-14 will reduce to half of its initial amount.

All living organisms contain both stable C-12 and the unstable isotope of C-14
The lower the C-14 compared to the C-12 ratio in an organism, the older it is.

Answer:

You manage to find a bottle of bromothymol blue and a few extra beakers. You take one of the empty beakers and add some of the first unlabeled solution and some indicator.

The color changes to yellow.

You then add some solution from the other unlabeled flask into this beaker and see the color change to blue.

What are the identities of each unlabeled solution?

Explanation:

Bromothymol blue is a dye and it is used as an indicator.

It is used as a pH indicator.

In acids, it becomes yellow n in color.

In bases, it turns blue.

You take one of the empty beakers and add some of the first unlabeled solution and some indicator. The color changes to yellow.

That means the unlabeled solution is an acid.

You then add some solution from the other unlabeled flask into this beaker and see the color change to blue.

It is a basic solution.

g Consider an ideal atomic gas in a cylinder. The upper part of the cylinder is a moveable piston of negligible weight. The heig

kumpel [21]

A cylindrical weight with a mass of 3 kg is dropped onto the piston from a height of 10 m. The entropy of the gas is 1.18 J/K and the change in the entropy of the environment is -1.18 J/K.

A cylindrical weight with a mass (m) of 3 kg is dropped, that is, its initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s and travels 10 m (s). Assuming the acceleration (a) is that of gravity (9.8 m/s²). We can calculate the velocity (v) of the weight in the instant prior to the collision with the piston using the following kinematic equation.

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as = 2 (9.8 m/s^{2} ) (10m) \\\\v = 14 m/s$

The object with a mass of 3 kg collides with the piston at 14 m/s, The kinetic energy (K) of the object at that moment is:

$K = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} (3kg) (14m/s)^{2} = 294 J$

The kinetic energy of the weight is completely converted into heat transferred into the gas cylinder. Thus, Q = 294 J.

Given all the process is at 250 K (T), we can calculate the change of entropy of the gas using the following expression.

$\Delta S_{gas} = \frac{Q}{T} = \frac{294 J}{250K} = 1.18 J/K$

The change in the entropy of the environment, has the same value but opposite sign than the change in the entropy of the gas. Thus, $\Delta S_{env} = -1.18 J/K$

What type of reaction is most likely to occur when barium reacts with fluorine? write the chemical equation for the reaction?

scZoUnD [109]

Answer is: this is synthesis reaction.
Chemical reaction: Ba + F₂ → BaF₂.
Synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product.
In barium fluoride, barium has oxidation number +2 and fluorine has oxidation number -1, so compound has neutral charge.
