The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

The half-life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5.73x10^3 years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon-14 in a tiny sample of an artifact made of woodfrom an archeological dig is measured to be 2.8x10^3 Bq. The activity in a similiar-sized sample of fresh wood is measured to be 3.0x10^3 Bq. Calculate the age of the artifact. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

570 years

Explanation:

The activity of the fresh sample is taken as the initial activity of the wood sample while the activity measured at a time t is the present activity of the wood artifact. The time taken for the wood to attain its current activity can be calculated from the formula shown in the image attached. The activity at a time t must always be less than the activity of a fresh wood sample. Detailed solution is found in the image attached.

Lead(II) nitrate and ammonium iodide react to form lead(II) iodide and ammonium nitrate according to the reaction Pb(NO3)2(aq)+2
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

a) volume of ammonium iodide required =349 mL

b) the moles of lead iodide formed = 0.0436 mol

Explanation:

The reaction is:

Pb(NO_{3})_{2}+2NH_{4}I -->PbI_{2}+2NH_{4}NO_{3}

It shows that one mole of lead nitrate will react with two moles of ammonium iodide to give one mole of lead iodide.

Let us calculate the moles of lead nitrate taken in the solution.

Moles=molarityX volume (L)

Moles of lead nitrate = 0.360 X 0.121 =0.0436 mol

the moles of ammonium iodide required = 2 X0.0436 = 0.0872 mol

The volume of ammonium iodide required will be:

volume=\frac{moles}{molarity}=\frac{0.0872}{0.250}=0.349L=349mL

the moles of lead iodide formed = moles of lead nitrate taken = 0.0436 mol

Why does the temperature of the water stay the same when it melts and boils?
krok68 [10]

The temperature stays the same when a solid changes to a liquid because energy is required to break the forces between particles of water therefore changing the state of matter and separating the particles away from each other.

When a liquid boils, the energy is needed by the particles to escape the surface of the liquid and boil. Instead of raising the temperature, the energy goes into the particles' kinetic energy store so it has enough speed to escape the surface of the liquid.

When silver nitrate reacts with copper, copper(II) nitrate and silver are produced. The balanced equation for this reaction is:
posledela

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

When silver nitrate reacts with copper, copper(II) nitrate and silver are produced. The balanced equation for this reaction is:

2AgNO_3+Cu\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+2Ag

Suppose 6 moles of silver nitrate react. The reaction consumes___ moles of copper. The reaction produces __ moles of copper(II) nitrate and __ moles of silver.

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of copper metal reacted is 3 moles, amount of copper (II) nitrate produced is 3 moles and amount of silver metal produced is 6 moles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of silver nitrate = 6 moles

For the given chemical reaction:

2AgNO_3+Cu\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+2Ag

  • <u>For copper metal:</u>

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of silver nitrate reacts with 1 mole of copper metal

So, 6 moles of silver nitrate will react with = \frac{1}{2}\times 6=3mol of copper metal

Moles of copper reacted = 3 moles

  • <u>For copper(II) nitrate:</u>

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of silver nitrate produces 1 mole of copper(II) nitrate

So, 6 moles of silver nitrate will produce = \frac{1}{2}\times 6=3mol of copper(II) nitrate

Moles of copper(II) nitrate produced = 3 moles

  • <u>For silver metal:</u>

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of silver nitrate produces 2 moles of silver metal

So, 6 moles of silver nitrate will produce = \frac{2}{2}\times 6=6mol of silver metal

Moles of silver metal produced = 3 moles

Hence, the amount of copper metal reacted is 3 moles, amount of copper (II) nitrate produced is 3 moles and amount of silver metal produced is 6 moles.

the air pressure from the atmosphere measures 0.5atm at an altitude of 18,000 ft. How much pressure is this in pounds per square
Julli [10]

14.7lb/in²

Explanation:

This is a conversion problem from atm to pounds per square inch

Pressure is the combined force per unit area of substance on another.

Given pressure = 0.5atm

To solve this problem ;

Convert from atm to N/m² to pound per square inch

    1 atm = 101325N/m²

  0.5atm = 0.5 x 101325 = 50,662.5‬N/m²

now we need to convert to pound per square inch;

     1N  = 0.225lb

     1m = 39.37in

Solving;

 101325 Nx \frac{1}{m^{2} }  x \frac{0.225lb}{1N }  x \frac{m^{2} }{39.37in x 39.37in} = 14.7lb/in²

What chemicals need to make liquid bakelite ?
Jet001 [13]
It begins with heating of phenol and formaldehyde in the presence of a catalyst such as hydrochloric acid, zinc chloride, or the base ammonia. This creates a liquid condensation product, referred to as Bakelite A, which is soluble in alcohol, acetone, or additional phenol.
