Answer:

Hope this helped.

Explanation:

Cellulose is a molecule, consisting of hundreds – and sometimes even thousands – of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Cellulose is the main substance in the walls of plant cells, helping plants to remain stiff and upright. Humans cannot digest cellulose, but it is important in the diet as fibre.

What is the age of mummified primate skin that contains 8.25% of the original quantity of 14C?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

20619.4793 years

Explanation:

The half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

The formula for the half life for a first order kinetic reaction is:

t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}

Where,  

t_{1/2} is the half life

k is the rate constant.

Thus rate constant is:

5730 years=ln(2)/k

k = 1.21×10⁻⁴ years ⁻¹

Using integrated rate law as:

ln\ \frac {A_t}{A_0}=-k\times t

Where,

A_t is the concentration at time t

A_0 is the initial concentration

Given that the final concentration contains 8.25 % of the original quantity which means that:

\frac {A_t}{A_0}=0.0825

So,

ln(.0825)= -1.21×10⁻⁴×t

<u> t = 20619.4793 years</u>

A mixture of co(g) and h2(g) is pumped into a previously evacuated 2l reaction vessel the total pressure of the reaction system
swat32

Answer is: total pressure of the system is 2.4 atm.

Boyle's Law (the pressure volume law): volume of a given amount of gas held  varies inversely with the applied pressure when the temperature and mass are constant.

p₁V₁ = p₂V₂ (the product of the initial volume and pressure is equal to the product of the volume and pressure after a change).

1.2 atm · 2 L = p₂ · 1 L.

p₂ = 1.2 atm · 2 L / 1 L.

p₂ = 2.4 atm.

When pressure goes up, volume goes down.  

When volume goes up, pressure goes down.

Why do you think the same color M&amp;M was used in each sample of water?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The candy coating is made up of coloring and sugar. The coloring and the sugar molecules both have positive and negative charges on them. The water molecule has positive and negative charges so it can attract and dissolve the color and sugar pretty well.

Explanation:
