How do carbon isotopes in fossil fuels differ from the atmosphere and from biomass?

Carbon bound in fossil fuels has different isotopes than carbon in atmosphere. Fossil fuels are underground and cosmic rays do not affect carbon in them same as atmosphere carbon. Carbon in fossil fuels that is underground longer than ten thousand years has only C-12 isotope and not C-14.

Marcus measured the masses and volumes of samples of four different substances, and he calculated their densities. The table sho
Zina [86]

<u>Given:</u>

Calculated density values-

Aluminum = 2.7 g/cm3

Copper = 9.0 g/cm3

Iron = 7.9 g/cm3

Titanium = 4.8 g/cm3

Unknown sample mass = 9.5 g

Sample volume = 2.1 cm3

<u>To determine:</u>

The identity of the unknown sample

<u>Explanation:</u>

'Density' is a physical parameter which can be used to identify the nature of the unknown substance.

Density = Mass/Volume

For the unknown sample

Density = 9.5 g/2.1 cm3 = 4.52 g/cm3

This matches closely with the calculated density of titanium

Ans: The unknown substance is made of titanium

Harrizon [31]

Answer:C. The value of n for H+(H2O)n can be calculated for almost all solutions.

Explanation:

An hydrate can be described as a substance that contains water or with an hydrogen bonded water molecule group.

The hydrate group doesn't necessarily have a fixed formula.

How many grams of Fe2+ are there in 0.003109 moles of Fe2+?
Sergio [31]

Answer: 0.174 g

Explanation:

First of all understand that charge on an atom like here 2+ will not vary molar mass. because ions are formed by loss or gain of electrons and electrons do not contribute to the mass of an atom or ion. so losing or gaining electron doesnt create any difference.

molar mass of Fe, i.e. mass of 1 mole of Fe is 56 g. So, mass of 1 mole of Fe2+ will also be 56 g.

given is 0.003109 moles of Fe2+,

Use maths,

1 mole of Fe2+ weighs 56 g

So, 0.003109 moles will weigh = (56 g / 1 mol ) x 0.003109 = 0.174 g.
