The Half life is the time taken for a radioisotope or a radioactive substance to decay by half its original amount. The half life of carbon 14 is 5600 years. 
Original mass is 100%
Remaining amount is 24% 
Therefore; 0.24 = 1 × (1/2)^n
                     n = log 0.24/log 0.5
                        = 2.06
therefore, the age of the fossil is 5600×2.06
 = 11529.8 
 ≈ 11529 years

A student neutralized 16.4 milliliters of HCl by adding 12.7 milliliters of 0.620 M KOH. What was the molarity of the HCl acid?
Katen [24]
V ( HCl ) = 16.4 mL / 1000 => 0.0164 L

M( HCl) = ?

V( KOH) = 12.7 mL / 1000 => 0.0127 L

M(KOH) = 0.620 M

Number of moles KOH:

n = M x V

n = 0.620 x 0.0127

n = 0.007874 moles of KOH

number of moles HCl :

<span>HCl + KOH = H2O + KCl
</span>
1 mole HCl ------ 1 mole KOH
<span>? mole HCl--------0.007874 moles KOH
</span>
moles HCl = 0.007874 * 1 / 1

= 0.007874 moles of HCl

M = n / V

M = 0.007874 / <span>0.0164

</span>= 0.480 M

What mass of sodium chloride contains 4.59 x 10 24 formula units?
shtirl [24]
The term formula units means molecules.

Then, what you are looking for is the mass in 4.59*10^24  molecules.

The procedure involves to convert the 4.59 * 10^24 molecules into moles and use the molar mass of the sodium chloride.

1) Number of moles = 4.59 * 10^24 molecules / (6.02 * 10^23 molecules/mol) = 7.62 mol

2) Molar mass of NaCl = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 58.44 g/mol

3) mass of NaCl = molar mass *  number of moles = 58.44 g/mol * 7.62 mol = 445.31 g of NaCl

Answer: 445.31 g of NaCl.

You wish to add 5 mg/l naocl as cl2 to a solution in a disinfection test, and you have a stock solution (household bleach) that
Alecsey [184]

Answer: -

0.1 ml of bleach should be added to each liter of test solution.

Explanation:-

Let the volume of bleach to be added is B ml.

Density of stock solution = 1.0 g/ml

Mass of stock solution = Volume of stock x density of stock

                                     = B ml x 1.0 g/ml

                                     = B g

Amount of NaOCl in this stock solution = 5% of B g

                                     = \frac{5}{100} x B g

                                     = 0.05 B g

Now each test solution must be added 5 mg/l NaOCl.

Thus each liter of test solution must have 5 mg.

Thus 0.05 B g = 5 mg

                        = 0.005 g

B = \frac{0.005}{0.05}

  = 0.1

Thus 0.1 ml of bleach should be added to each liter of test solution.
