Radio active decay reactions follow first order rate kinetics.
a) The half life and decay constant for radio active decay reactions are related by the equation:



Where k is the decay constant
b) Finding out the decay constant for the decay of C-14 isotope:



c) Finding the age of the sample :
35 % of the radiocarbon is present currently.
The first order rate equation is,
![[A] = [A_{0}]e^{-kt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5BA%5D%20%3D%20%5BA_%7B0%7D%5De%5E%7B-kt%7D%20%20%20)
![\frac{[A]}{[A_{0}]} = e^{-kt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5D%7D%7B%5BA_%7B0%7D%5D%7D%20%3D%20e%5E%7B-kt%7D%20%20)


t = 7923 years
Therefore, age of the sample is 7923 years.
Mass atomic of Ne=20.18 u
Therefore:
molar mass=20.18 g/1 mol
1 mole=6.022*10²³ particles (atoms or molecules)
Then: 6.022*10²³ atoms are contained in 20.18g
Now, We can solve this problem by the three rule.
6.022*10²³ atoms-------------------20.18 g
x------------------------------------------32 g
x=(6.022*10²³ atoms * 32 g)/20.18 g=9.55*10²³ atoms.
Answer: 9.55*10²³ Ne atoms are contained in 32 g of the element.
Answer:
3
Explanation:
the three elements involved in this compound are Li, S, O.
lithium, sulfur, and oxygen. Which create the ionic compound, "Lithium Sulfate."
7 atoms total, since there are two lithium, four oxygen, and one sulfate atom. this is a white inorganic salt.
Answer:
The formula for lithium acetate is CH3COOLi
Explanation:
The formula for lithium acetate is obtained by replacing the hydrogen atom bonding to the oxygen atom in acetic acid with Li as shown below:
CH3COOH + LiOH —> CH3COOLi + H2O
