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

Which of these 2A elements has the largest atomic radius?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: Option (E) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we move from top to bottom in a group then there occurs an increase in atomic size of the atoms due to increase in the number of electrons.

For example, in group 2A elements beryllium is the smallest in size whereas radium being at the bottom is the largest in size.

Also, atomic number of beryllium is 4 and atomic number of radium is 88.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options radium is the 2A element which has the largest atomic radius.

Using the following equation: 3H2SO4+ 2Fe -> Fe2(SO4)3+ 3H2
Mariana [72]

Answer:

H₂SO₄

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of H₂SO₄ = 15 mol

Number of moles of Fe = 13 mol

Which reactant is limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3H₂SO₄  + 2Fe      →          Fe₂(SO₄)₃  + 3H₂

now we will compare the moles reactant with product.

               H₂SO₄         :          Fe₂(SO₄)₃  

                  3               :              1

                 15               :              1/3×15 = 5

                H₂SO₄         :            H₂

                  3               :              3

                 15               :              15

                Fe               :          Fe₂(SO₄)₃  

                  2               :              1

                 13               :              1/2×13 = 6.5

                Fe               :                H₂

                  2               :                 3

                 13               :              3/2×13 = 19.5

Number of moles of product formed by  H₂SO₄ are less thus it will act as limiting reactant.

Current is applied to a molten mixture of AgF , FeCl2 , and AlBr3 . What is produced at each electrode? STRATEGY Rank the cation
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Cathode: Ag

Anode: Br₂

Explanation:

In the cathode must occur a reduction, so it's more likely to a metal atom be in the cathode. For the metals given the reduction reactions and the potential of reduction are:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇒ Ag⁰ E° = + 0.80 V

Fe⁺² + 2e⁻ ⇒ Fe⁰ E° = - 0.44 V

Al⁺³ + 3e⁻ ⇒ Al⁰ E° = -1.66 V

As the potential for Ag is the higher, the reduction will occur for it first, so in the cathode will produce Ag.

For the anode an oxidation must occurs, so the reactions for the nonmetals are:

F₂ + 2e⁻ ⇒ 2F⁻ E° = +2.87 V

Cl₂ + 2e⁻ ⇒ 2Cl⁻ E° = +1.36 V

Br₂ + 2e⁻ ⇒ 2Br⁻ E° = +1.07 V

For oxidation, the less the E°, the faster the reaction will occur, so Br₂ will be formed in the anode.
