Griffin was walking to school one day and found a old bone. He took it to a scientist friend of his, and after studying the bone

, she determined it was approximately 24,000 years old. She also told him that the current amount of carbon-14 in the bone was 5,000 atoms. How many atoms must the bone have had originaly, assuming that the half-life of carbon-14 is approximately 6,000 years.

This problem is easily solvable because radioactivity equations are common and well-established. The pseudo-first reaction is written below:

A = A₀(1/2)^(t/h)
where
A is the final amount
A₀ is the original amount
t is the time
h is the half life

5,000 = A₀(1/2)^(24,000/6,000)
Solving for A₀,
<em>A₀ = 80,000 atoms</em>

Suppose that Daniel has a 3.00 3.00 L bottle that contains a mixture of O 2 O2 , N 2 N2 , and CO 2 CO2 under a total pressure of
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Partial pressure O₂ → 2.74 atm

Explanation:

Let's analyse the data given:

Volume → 3L

In the bottle there is a mixture of gases that contains, O₂, N₂ and CO₂.

Total pressure is 4.80 atm

Let's apply the Ideal Gases Law to determine the total moles of the mixture

P . V = n .  R. T

4.80 atm . 3L = n . 0.082 . 273K

n = 4.80 atm . 3L / 0.082 . 273K → 0.643 moles

We apply the concept of mole fraction:

Mole fraction of a gas X = moles of gas X / Total moles

Mole fraction of a gas X = Partial pressure X / Total pressure

In a mixture, sum of mole fraction of each gas = 1

We determine mole fraction of N₂ → 0.230 / 0.643 = 0.357

We determine mole fraction of CO₂ → 0.350 atm / 4.80 atm = 0.0729

1 - mole fraction N₂ - mole fraction CO₂ = mole fraction O₂

1 - 0.357 - 0.0729 = 0.5701 → mole fraction O₂

We replace in the formula: Mole fraction O₂ = Partial pressure O₂ / 4.80 atm

0.5701 . 4.80 atm = Partial pressure O₂ → 2.74 atm

Calculate the number of pounds of CO2CO2 released into the atmosphere when a 22.0 gallon22.0 gallon tank of gasoline is burned i
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

391.28771 pounds of carbon-dioxide was released into the atmosphere when 22.0 gallon tank of gasoline is burned in an automobile engine.

Explanation:

Density of the gasoline ,d= 0.692 g/mL

Volume of gasoline in an tanks,V = 22.0 gallons = 83,279.02 mL

Let mass of the gasoline be M

Density= \frac{Mass}{Volume}

M = V × d = 83,279.02 mL × 0.692 g/mL=57,629.081 g

Given that gasoline is primarily octane.

2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

Mass of octane burnt in the tank = M = 57,629.081 g

Moles of octane =\frac{57,629.081 g}{114.08g/mol}=505.1637 mol

According to reaction, 2 moles of octane gives 16 moles of carbon-dioxide.

Then 505.1637 mol of octane will give:

\frac{16}{2}\times 505.1637 mol=4,041.3100 mol of carbon-dioxide

Mass of 4,041.3100 mol of carbon-dioxide:

4,041.3100 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 177,858.05 g

Mass of carbon-dioxide produced in pounds = 391.28771 pounds

391.28771 pounds of carbon-dioxide was released into the atmosphere when 22.0 gallon tank of gasoline is burned in an automobile engine.
