What are the uses of carbon-14?

1 answer:

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.

Keeping your arm straight in front of you, you rotate 90° to your left, and see the left side of the circle lit while the right side is dark. Half the ball is still lit up, but you can see only part of the lit area. As you continue to rotate, you see a different amount of the ball.

Sophie [7]

Answer : The ionic equation will be:

$CH_3CH(OH)COO^-(aq)+H^+(aq)+Na^+(aq)+HCO_3^-(aq)\rightarrow CH_3CH(OH)COO^-(aq)+Na^+(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

Explanation :

Neutralization reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which an acid react with a base to give salt and water as a product that means it reacts to give a neutral solution.

When baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate) base react with lactic acid then it react to gives sodium lactate, carbon dioxide and water as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

$CH_3CH(OH)COOH(aq)+NaHCO_3(aq)\rightarrow CH_3CH(OH)COONa(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

The ionic equation will be:

$CH_3CH(OH)COO^-(aq)+H^+(aq)+Na^+(aq)+HCO_3^-(aq)\rightarrow CH_3CH(OH)COO^-(aq)+Na^+(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$
