Answer:

Carbon-14

Explanation:

Carbon dating is also known as radiocarbon dating. Carbon dating is a technique used in the determination of of age(s) of an object. It has been proved that carbon dating is efficient for dating archaeological specimens and fossils. Carbon dating method was developed by Willard Libby(A physicist).

Carbon-14 is an isotope of of carbon. Carbon-14 is radioactive. Carbon-14 is very important in many aspect both medically( to detect ulcer causing bacteria) and in the determination of age of an object. It is also used in radio labelling.

All living things maintain certain amount of carbon-14 while still alive, but when living things die, the amount of carbon-14 decreases exponentially. Carbon-14 is produced by cosmic radiation in the atmosphere.

If a candy bar contains 345 Calories, how many calories is this?
Arisa [49]

Answer: 345,000 calories

Explanation:

Calories in food such as candy bars refer to the amount of energy that the food has. Calories are also called Kilocalories because they are the equivalent of 1,000 calories.

If the candy bar contained 345 calories therefore, and 1 Calorie is 1,000 calories, the calories in the candy bar are:

= 345 * 1,000

= 345,000 calories

For each pair of salts, determine which of the salts, if any, would be expected to be more soluble in acidic solution than in pu
gogolik [260]

Answer:

AgNO2

Explanation:

The question asks to know which of these two insoluble salts is expected to be more soluble in acidic solution than in pure water.

To answer this question specifically, we need to know if the anions contained in the insoluble salt is a conjugate of a weak acid or that of a weak base.

Generally, the solubility of insoluble salts that contain anions which are conjugates of weak acids increases in the presence of an acidic solution than in water. While, the solubility of insoluble salts that contain anions which are conjugates of strong acids decreases in the presence of an acidic solution.

Having said this, AgNO2 contains NO2 which is the conjugate base of the Trioxonitrate iii acid which is a weak acid. Hence, it is expected to be stronger in acidic solution than in water.

For each of the following unbalanced equations, calculate how many grams of each product would be produced by complete reaction
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The answer to your question is

Explanation:

Data

12.5 g of reactant

Balanced Reaction 1

                 TiBr₄ + 2H₂  ⇒  Ti  +  4HBr

Molar mass of TiBr₄ = 48 + (4 x 80) = 368 g

Atomic mass of Ti = 48 g

Molar mass of HBr = 1 + 80 = 81

                 368 g of TiBr₄ ---------------- 48 g of Ti

                    12.5 g of TiBr₄ -------------- x

                    x = (12.5 x 48) / 368

                   x = 1.63 g of Ti

                  368 g of TiBr₄ ----------------4(81) g of HBr

                    12.5 g of TiBr₄ -------------  x

                    x = (12.5 x 324) / 368

                    x = 11 g of HBr

Balanced reaction 2

                  3SiH₄  +  4NH₃  ⇒   Si₃N₄  +  12H₂

Molar mass of SiH₄ = 28 + 4 = 32

Molar mass of Si₃N₄ = 28 x 3 + 14 x 4 = 84 + 56 = 140 g

Atomic mass of H₂ = 2 g

                  3(32) g of SiH₄ --------------- 140 g of Si₃N₄

                    12.5 g of SiH₄ --------------  x

                    x = 18.2 g of Si₃N₄

                  3(32) g of SiH₄ --------------- 24 g of H₂

                  12.5 g of SiH₄   --------------  x

                   x = 3.125 g of H₂
