Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope that decays according to first-order kinetics in a process that has a half-life of 5730 years

. If a sample containing carbon-14 now has 71% of its original concentration of carbon-14, how much time has passed in years? 4.09 ~ 103 years 5.73 x 103 years 2.38 x 103 years 2.83 x 103 years 3.52 * 104 years

Answer : The time passed in years is 2.83\times 10^3\text{ years}

Explanation :

Half-life = 5730 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{5730\text{ years}}

k=1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = X g

a - x = amount left after decay process = 71\% \times (x)=\frac{71}{100}\times (X)=0.71Xg

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{X}{0.71X}

t=2831.00\text{ years}=2.83\times 10^3\text{ years}

Therefore, the time passed in years is 2.83\times 10^3\text{ years}

pogonyaev

Answer:

Explanation:

H ₂ S O ₄ + 2 N a O H ⟶ 2 H ₂ O + N a ₂ S O ₄

29.09 mL of 0.639 M N a O H is mixed with 213.8 mL of H ₂ S O ₄

Let the concentration of H ₂ S O ₄ be S₂ .

In terms of normal or equivalent solution is will be 2 N  solution

From the formula S₁ V₁ = S₂ V₂

= 29.09 x .639 = 213.8 x  S₂

S₂ = .087 N solution

In terms of molar solution it will be .087 / 2 M

= .0435 M

How many words can the word DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID make
Lesechka [4]

Answer: four hundred and 18

Explanation:

Simple math showed that only 16 words are possible from a two-letter combination, but a three-letter code produces 64 words. Operating on the principle that the simplest solution is often correct, researchers assumed a three-letter code called a codon.

Question
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

12.62 L

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the moles corresponding to 18.0 g of oxygen gas (MW 32.0).

18.0 g × (1 mol/32.0 g) = 0.563 mol

Then, we can find the volume occupied by 0.563 moles of oxygen at STP (273,15 K, 1.00 atm) using the ideal gas law.

P × V = n × R × T

V = n × R × T / P

V = 0.563 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 273.15 K / 1.00 atm

V = 12.62 L
