Because C-12 is fixed value of any organisms but the value of C-14 is constantly decreasing by time thats why every organism have their specific ratio of C14/C12

A wooden block has a mass of 20 g and dimensions of 5 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm.
marta [7]

Answer:

V = 5 cm³

ρ = 4 g/cm³

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the volume (V)

We have a wooden cuboid of dimensions 5 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm. We can calculate its volume using the following expression.

V = 5 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm

V = 5 cm³

Step 2: Calculate the density (ρ)

The density is equal to the mass divided by the volume.

ρ = m / V

ρ = 20 g / 5 cm³

ρ = 4 g/cm³

Jeffrey is making a model of tungsten for his chemistry class. He has foam balls for the protons, neutrons, and electrons. He ha
mrs_skeptik [129]

Atomic number (Z) of tungsten is 74

Mass number (A) of tungsten is 184

Now:

Atomic number of an element = Number of protons = Number of electrons

Mass number = Number of Protons + Number of neutrons

In the case of tungsten

Total Number of electrons = 74

Jeffrey has already added 21 electrons

Number of electrons needed = 74 - 21 = 53

Ans (D) 53 more electrons are needed to complete the neutral atom of tungsten.

The equilibrium constant, Kc, is calculated using molar concentrations. For gaseous reactions another form of the equilibrium co
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Kp = 1.41 x 10⁻⁶

Explanation:

We have the chemical equation:

2 A(g) + 3 B(g)⇌ C(g)

In which A and B are the reactants and C is the product. We calculate first the change in the number of moles of gas (Δn or dn):

dn= (sum moles products - sum moles reactants)

   = (moles C - (moles A + moles B))

   = (1 - (2+3))

   = 1 - 5

   = -4

We have also the following data:

Kc = 63.2

T= 81∘C + 273 = 354 K

R = 0.082 L.atm/K.mol (it is a constant)

Thus, we introduce the data in the mathematical expression for the relation between Kp and Kc:

Kc = (RT)^{dn}= (0.082 L.atm/K.mol x 354 K)⁻⁴ = 1.41 x 10⁻⁶
