Answer:
Cells are the smallest living unit of an organism
Answer:
Explanation:
We are asked to find how many moles of sodium carbonate are in 57.3 grams of the substance.
Carbonate is CO₃ and has an oxidation number of -2. Sodium is Na and has an oxidation number of +1. There must be 2 moles of sodium so the charge of the sodium balances the charge of the carbonate. The formula is Na₂CO₃.
We will convert grams to moles using the molar mass or the mass of 1 mole of a substance. They are found on the Periodic Table as the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units. Look up the molar masses of the individual elements.
- Na: 22.9897693 g/mol
- C: 12.011 g/mol
- O: 15.999 g/mol
Remember the formula contains subscripts. There are multiple moles of some elements in 1 mole of the compound. We multiply the element's molar mass by the subscript after it, then add everything together.
- Na₂ = 22.9897693 * 2= 45.9795386 g/mol
- O₃ = 15.999 * 3= 47.997 g/mol
- Na₂CO₃= 45.9795386 + 12.011 + 47.997 =105.9875386 g/mol
We will convert using dimensional analysis. Set up a ratio using the molar mass.
We are converting 57.3 grams to moles, so we multiply by this value.
Flip the ratio so the units of grams of sodium carbonate cancel.
The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found that is the thousandth place. The 6 in the ten-thousandth place to the right tells us to round the 0 up to a 1.
There are approximately <u>0.541 moles of sodium carbonate</u> in 57.3 grams.
Answer:
C. By being honest in recording the results of their own experiments
Explanation:
Honesty in recording results is ethical behaviour and the basis of scientific research.
A. is wrong. If you repeat the same experiment, you should always get the same result.
B. is wrong. Copying someone else's results is cheating and certainly unethical behaviour.
D. is wrong. Making up data is dishonest and unethical behaviour.
E. is wrong. Following your own instincts about safety procedures is unethical because your instincts may be wrong. following them may result in injury to yourself or to others.
Answer:
4066 decay/s
Explanation:
Given that:-
The weight of the person is:- 190 lb
Also, 1 lb = 453.592 g
So, weight of the person = 86182.6 g
Also, given that carbon is 18% in the human body. So,
Carbon-14 is of the carbon in the body. So,
Also,
14 g of Carbon-14 contains atoms of carbon-14
So,
of Carbon-14 contains atoms of carbon-14
Atoms of carbon-14 =
Given that:
Half life = 5730 years
Where, k is rate constant
So,
The rate constant, k = 0.00012 years⁻¹
Also, 1 year = s
So, The rate constant, k = s⁻¹ =
Thus, decay events per second = = = 4066 decay/s
