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>

12) A 17.92 g sample of copper was submerged in water, and the volume reading rose by 2.00 mL. What is the density of the copper
emmasim [6.3K]

Hey there!:

Mass = 17.92 g

Volume = 2.00 mL

Density =  ??

Therefore:

D = m / V

D = 17.92 / 2.00

D = 8.96 g/mL

Hope this helps!

True or False When one side of a molecule is electronegative (δ-) and the other side of the
lesya [120]

Answer:

True; When one side of a molecule is electronegative (δ-) and the other side of the

molecule is electropositive (δ+), it is said to have a dipole moment.

Explanation:

A dipole moment exists in a molecule as a result of differences in the electronegativity values between the atoms of the elements involved in the chemical bonding.

When a strogly electronegative atom such as oxygen or chlorine is chemically bonded to a less electronegative or an electropositive atom such as hydrogen, there is an uneven sharing of the electrons involved in the bonding. The more electronegative atoms tends to draw the shared electrons mostly to themselves. This induces a partially negative charge (δ-) on them while leaving the electropositive atoms with a partially positive charge (δ+).

Water is an example of a molecule having a dipole moment. The oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen and as such draw the shared electrons to themselves more, inducing a partial positive charge (δ+) on the hydrogen atoms while they themselves develop a partial negative charge (δ-).
