Explain about a method in which a scientist could use fossils to determine the age of the soil in which the fossils were found

1 answer:

3 0

The method scientists could use is radiocarbon dating. This method involves the analysis of a specific type of carbon atom in fossils. Carbon 14 is radioactive and has a half-life of approximately 5730 years. By measuring the amount of carbon 14 left in a sample scientist should be able to determine the approximate time when the soil was laid down.

Complete the passage about metallic bonding.

Burka [1]

Answer:

some bonds are broken and new ones are formed. Now you are ready to learn more about those bonds. Chemical bonds are attractions between atoms. They are simply attractive forces (between the + nucleus of one atom and the - electrons of a neighboring atom) that hold groups of atoms together and make them function as a unit.

You are given a solution of HCOOH (formic acid) with an approximate concentration of 0.20 M and you will titrate this with a 0.1

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{36 mL}}$

Explanation:

1. Write the balanced chemical equation.

$\rm HCOOH + NaOH $ \longrightarrow$ HCOONa + H$_{2}$O$

2. Calculate the moles of HCOOH

$\text{Moles of HCOOH} =\text{20.00 mL HCOOH } \times \dfrac{\text{0.20 mmol HCOOHl}}{\text{1 mL HCOOH}} = \text{4.00 mmol HCOOH}$

3. Calculate the moles of NaOH.

$\text{Moles of NaOH = 4.00 mmol HCOOH } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol NaOH} }{\text{1 mmol HCOOH}} = \text{4.00 mmol NaOH}$

4. Calculate the volume of NaOH

$c = \text{4.00 mmol NaOH } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mL NaOH }}{\text{0.1105 mmol NaOH }} = \textbf{36 mL NaOH }\\\\\text{The titration will require }\boxed{\textbf{36 mL of NaOH}}$
