Most of the organic compunds burn to give CO2 and H2O

2C2H2 + 5O2 = 4CO2+ 2H2O

Answer: The $R_f$ value is 0.664

Explanation:

Distance travelled by solvent front = (7.7-1.45)cm = 6.25 cm

Distance travelled by unknown = (5.6-1.45) cm = 4.15 cm

The retention factor or the $R_f$ value is defined as the ratio of distance traveled by the unknown to the distance traveled by the solvent front.

$R_f=\frac{\text {distance travelled by unknown}}{\text {distance travelled by solvent}}$

$R_f=\frac{4.15}{6.25}=0.664$

Thus the $R_f$ value is 0.664

A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 70 % that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: 2948

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$k=\frac{0.69}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{5730}=1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}$

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}$

t = age of sample = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = $\frac{70}{100}\times 100=70$

$t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{70}$

$t=2948years$

Thus the fossil is 2948 years old.

Copper can be shaped into wires because it is

Lelechka [254]

.ANSWER:Copper is a ductile metal

EXPLAIN :This means that it can easily be shaped into pipes and drawn into wires. Copper pipes are lightweight because they can have thin walls. They don't corrode and they can be bent to fit around corners.
