Answer: a chemical change

Explanation:

A physical reaction is defined as the reaction in which a change in shape, size takes place. No new substance gets formed in these reactions.  Example: melting of ice

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction in which a change in chemical composition takes place.A new substance is formed in these reactions.

Decomposition of water using electric current to produce hydrogen and oxygen is called as electrolysis and is a chemical change.

2H_2O\rightarrow 2H_2+O_2

A wooden tool is found at an archaeological site. Estimate the age of the tool using the following information: A 100 gram sampl
lord [1]

Answer:

2578.99 years

Explanation:

Given that:

100 g of the wood is emitting 1120 β-particles per minute

Also,

1 g of the wood is emitting 11.20 β-particles per minute

Given, Decay rate = 15.3 % per minute per gram

So,

Concentration left can be calculated as:-

C left = [A_t]=\frac{11.20\ per\ minute}{15.3\ per\ minute\ per\ gram}\times [A_0]= 0.7320[A_0]

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

Also, Half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

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

Where, k is rate constant

So,  

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

k=\frac {ln\ 2}{5730}\ years^{-1}

The rate constant, k = 0.000120968 year⁻¹

Time =?

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

So,  

\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-0.000120968\times t}

\frac {0.7320[A_0]}{[A_0]}=e^{-0.000120968\times t}

0.7320=e^{-0.000120968\times t}

ln\ 0.7320=-0.000120968\times t

<u>t = 2578.99 years</u>

A phosphate buffer solution (25.00 mL sample) used for a growth medium was titrated with 0.1000 M hydrochloric acid. The compone
AysviL [449]

Answer:

0,07448M of phosphate buffer

Explanation:

sodium monohydrogenphosphate (Na₂HP) and sodium dihydrogenphosphate (NaH₂P) react with HCl thus:

Na₂HP + HCl ⇄ NaH₂P + NaCl <em>(1)</em>

NaH₂P + HCl ⇄ H₃P + NaCl <em>(2)</em>

The first endpoint is due the reaction (1), When all phosphate buffer is as NaH₂P form, begins the second reaction. That means that the second endpoint is due the total concentration of phosphate that is obtained thus:

0,01862L of HCl×\frac{0,1000mol}{L}= 1,862x10⁻³moles of HCl ≡ moles of phosphate buffer.

The concentration is:

\frac{1,862x10^{-3}moles}{0,02500L} = <em>0,07448M of phosphate buffer</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
