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.

A metal pellet with a mass of 100.0 g, originally at 116°C, is dropped into a cup of water, initially at
Alina [70]

Answer:

C, 42g

Explanation:

In thermal equilibrium, both bodies (metal pellet and water) both have the same final temperature (46.3°C).

Assuming no heat is lost to surroundings,

the energy lost from metal pellet = energy gained for water

Since E = mc∆T

(energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change)

mc∆T (metal pellet) = mc∆T (water)

100 x 0.568 x (116-46.3) = m 4.184 (46.3 - 23.8)

3958.96 = 94.14m

m = 42g

How is Carbon returned to the atmosphere<br><br>Please help image below​
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Carbon is released back into the atmosphere when organisms die, volcanoes erupt, fires blaze, fossil fuels are burned, and through a variety of other mechanisms.Humans play a major role in the carbon cycle through activities such as the burning of fossil fuels or land development.

Concentrated hydrogen peroxide solutions are explosively decomposed by traces of transition metal ions (such as Mn or Fe): 2H2O2
zalisa [80]

Answer:

23.0733 L

Explanation:

The mass of hydrogen peroxide present in 125 g of 50% of hydrogen peroxide solution:

Mass=\frac {50}{100}\times 125\ g

Mass = 62.5 g

Molar mass of H_2O_2 = 34 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus, moles are:

moles= \frac{62.5\ g}{34\ g/mol}

moles= 1.8382\ mol

Consider the given reaction as:

2H_2O_2_{(aq)}\rightarrow2H_2O_{(l)}+O_2_{(g)}

2 moles of hydrogen peroxide decomposes to give 1 mole of oxygen gas.

Also,

1 mole of hydrogen peroxide decomposes to give 1/2 mole of oxygen gas.

So,

1.8382 moles of hydrogen peroxide decomposes to give \frac {1}{2}\times 1.8382 mole of oxygen gas. Moles of oxygen gas produced = 0.9191 molGiven: Pressure = 746 torr&#10;The conversion of P(torr) to P(atm) is shown below:&#10;[tex]P(torr)=\frac {1}{760}\times P(atm)

So,

Pressure = 746 / 760 atm = 0.9816 atm

Temperature = 27 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (27 + 273.15) K = 300.15 K

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

0.9816 atm × V = 0.9191 mol × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 300.15 K

<u>⇒V = 23.0733 L</u>
