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

1. To calculate the molarity of a solution, you need to know the moles of solute and the
evablogger [386]

Answer:

O volume of the solution

Explanation:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution  in L

For example:

if we dissolve the 1 mole of NaCl to make the solution of volume 2 L. The molarity of solution is,

M = 1 mol / 2 L

M = 0.5 M

1. Ethanol and 2,6-dimethylphenol both have hydroxyl groups that can be deprotonated by a base. Why does ethanol act as a solven
Volgvan

Anions are solvated in protic hydrogen-bonding solvents (such as ethanol). Consequently, nucleophiles are less reactive. Since soft nucleophiles are less strongly solvated than hard nucleophiles, these solvents boost the relative reactivity of soft anions.

<h3>Ethanol is either a nucleophile or a base.</h3>

The ethanol is a base  Because carbocation is an extremely reactive species, a base or nucleophile as weak as ethanol can replace or remove it. SN1 and E1 would not be conceivable without the carbocation or a strong departing group.

<h3>How do solvents impact anionic nucleophile's reactivity?</h3>

In polar aprotic solvents, nucleophilic substitution reactions of anionic nucleophiles often proceed more quickly. The normal relative reactivity order in such solvents (like DMSO)is Anions are solvated in protic hydrogen-bonding solvents (such as ethanol). Consequently, nucleophiles are less reactive.

A chemical reaction in which bonds are created is usually associated with ________.
Nikolay [14]

A  reaction in which bonds are created is usually associated with the Release of energy.

What are the various types of bonds?

There are three sorts of bonds:

1. Electrovalent or  electrovalent bond

2.  chemical bond

3.  dative bond

Electrovalent or electrovalent bond are formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Covalent bonds are formed when the atoms during a  molecule share an equal number of electrons.

A dative bond is one in which both electrons in a shared pair come from the same atom.

Now, atoms tend to stabilize once they form chemical bonds, releasing energy within the process. Energy is released because there's a higher level of stability associated with a low energy level.

Hence, a  reaction in which bonds are created is usually associated with the release of energy.
