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.

How is synthesis and decomposition reaction related to each other???

Anit [1.1K]

They are kind of opposite processes. Chemical synthesis is execution of chemical reactions to make products. Like you take two substances, you put them together, they react and you have new a substance. For example. $2Na+{ Cl }_{ 2 }\rightarrow 2NaCl$ here Sodium and Chlorine react to make a new substance which is Sodium Chloride.

Chemical decomposition is process of seperating a substance to different substances. There is a substance by a reaction this substance becomes two substances, Like : XY -> X+Y For example : $2{ H }_{ 2 }O(l)\quad \rightarrow 2{ H }_{ 2 }+{ O }_{ 2 }$

Write the balanced NET IONIC equation for the reaction that occurs when perchloric acid and calcium hypochlorite are combined. I

Elanso [62]

Answer:

$H^+(aq)+(ClO)^-(aq)\rightarrow HClO{(aq)}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since perchloric acid is HClO4 and is a strong acid and calcium hypochlorite is Ca(ClO)2, the undergoing molecular chemical reaction turns out:

$2HClO_4{(aq)}+Ca(ClO)_2{(aq)}\rightarrow 2HClO{(aq)}+Ca(ClO_4)_2{(aq)}$

Thus, since the resulting hypochlorous acid is weak, it does not fully ionize, so it remains unionized, however, we can write the ions for the other species:

$2H^++2(ClO_4)^-+Ca^{2+}+2(ClO)^-\rightarrow 2HClO{(aq)}+Ca^{2+}+2(ClO_4)^-$

Now, we can cancel out the spectator ions, calcium and perchlorate, to obtain:

$2H^+(aq)+2(ClO)^-(aq)\rightarrow 2HClO{(aq)}\\\\H^+(aq)+(ClO)^-(aq)\rightarrow HClO{(aq)}$

Best regards!
