A 100g sample of Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5 years. How much Carbon-14 is left after 10 years?

Chemistry

Answer: The amount of carbon-14 left after 10 years is 25 g

Explanation:

Formula used :

a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives = ?

a_o = Initial amount of the reactant = 100 g

n = number of half lives =\frac{\text {given time}}{\text {half life}}=\frac{10}{5}=2

Putting values in above equation, we get:

a=\frac{100g}{2^2}

a=\frac{100g}{4}=25g

Therefore, the amount of carbon-14 left after 10 years is 25 g

F(x)=-1/x
g(x)=√(3x-9)

Domain of (f/g)(x):  ??

1We find out the domain of f(x):
f(x) is a rational function, therefore can take real values if the denominator is not ("0"), therefore the domain of f, will be all values excpet "0"
Domain of  f: (-∞,0)U(0,+∞); 


                                                          o
----------------------------------------------O-------------------------------------------
←-------- -∞                                                               +∞           ----------→


g(x) is a radical square root  function, therefore the radicand have to be greater than o equal to "0"
3x-9≥0
3x≥9
x≥3

                                                         3
.........................................................Ф--------------------------------
←--------- - ∞                                                        +∞ -----------→
          
(f/g)(x) = (-1/x) / (√(3x-9)) is a rational function with a square root in the denominator,also the square root don´t take the value of "0";
Therefore:
3x-9>0
3x>9
x>3

The domain of the function (f/g)(x) only can take the values found in all three domains at once.

nadezda [96]

Answer:

C4H6 + 2HBr = C4H8Br2

Explanation:

Alkynes are organic molecules made of the functional group carbon-carbon triple bonds and are written in the empirical formula of CnH2n−2. They are unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Furthermore, Halogenation reaction of any alkyne such as but-2-yne with any of the hydro halogenated compounds such as HBr, HCl, HF or HI will give an alkane that will have the same number of carbon atoms in the starting material and in the final product.

Halogenation reaction is a reaction that occurs when one or more halogens are added to a substance. Halogens is the seventh column in the periodic table and it include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.

Acetone major species present when dissolved in water
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: acetone molecule ( CH₃-CO-CH₃)


Explanation:


1) Acetone is CH₃-CO-CH₃


2) That is a molecule (build up of covalent bonds).


3) When dissolved, covalent bonded compounds remain as separate molecules, then it is said that the major species present in the solution is the molecule. The molecules of acetone are surrounded (sovated) by the molecules of water.


This as opposed to the case of ionic compounds that ionize. When a compound as NaCl dissolves in water, it ionizes completely, so the major speceies are not NaCl formulas, but the ions Na⁺ and Cl⁻, not molecules.


That leads to the answer: the major species present when acetone is dissolved in water is the molecules of acetone (you do not need to state the fact that the molecules of water are part of the solution, because that is not the target of the question).
