What are the uses of carbon-14?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Gelneren [198K]3 years ago
6 0

Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope used to date organic material. Its consistent rate of decay allows the age of an object to be determined by the proportion of carbon-14 to other carbon isotopes. This process is called radiocarbon dating. Carbon-14 is also used as a radioactive tracer for medical tests.

The mass of the ocean is about 1.8 1021 kg. if the ocean contains 1.076% by mass sodium ions, na+, what is the mass in kilograms
castortr0y [4]
In chemistry, if you want to express the amount of a substance out of the total amount, you express it in concentration. There are numerous units of measurement: molarity, molality, normality, mass percentages, volume percentage, or a mix of both. For this problem, the unit used for concentration is in mass percentages. The formula would be

Percentage Concentration = [(Actual Amount of Substance)/(Total amount of all substances)] * 100

Since we are given with the total mass of all the substances in the ocean and the percentage concentration, the only missing information is the actual amount of Na+ in the ocean. Substituting the values:

1.076 = (Amount of Na+ /1.8×10²¹ kg)*100
Amount of Na+ = 1.9368×10¹⁹ kg

Explain why heat is often used in a laboratory experiment. a. To warm up the laboratory, b. To speed up a reaction
uysha [10]

Answer:

To speed up a reaction

Explanation:

Heat, as well as catalysts, increase the reaction rate of some chemical reactions since they cause the enzymes or reagents in charge of carrying out the transformation to products to act faster and increase their kinetic energy of reaction.

A small cube of iron and a large flat sheet of iron contain the same volume. Which one will completely rust first? Explain why.
Hunter-Best [27]

The flat sheet will completely rust before the iron cube. Since they both have the same volume, the flat sheet has more surface area than the small cube. This means more particles are exposed on the flat sheet that can react in a chemical reaction.
