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>

Equal masses (in grams) of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water. Which substance is limiting?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

a. Oxygen gas is limiting

Explanation:

hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water

2H₂ + O₂  →  2H₂O

the above balanced equation shows that 2 moles of H₂ is required for 1 mole of O₂

Given equal masses of H₂ and O₂

assuming 'x' gm for each, no. of moles of each gas  =

no. of moles of H₂ = x/2 = 0.5x moles

no.of moles of O₂ = x/32 = 0.031x moles

This shows that no. of moles of O₂ is very less so O₂ will become the limiting reagent.
