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.

What are the parts of a calorimeter and the function of each part?
chubhunter [2.5K]

A calorimeter is a device used to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical or physical process. For example, when an exothermic reaction occurs in solution in a calorimeter, the heat produced by the reaction is absorbed by the solution, which increases its temperature.

If 90.0 grams of ethane reacted with excess chlorine,how many grams of dicarbon hexachloride would form
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

709 g  

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Balanced equation

Normally, we would need a balanced chemical equation.

However, we can get by with a partial equation, as log as carbon atoms are balanced.

We know we will need an equation with masses and molar masses, so let’s <em>gather all the information</em> in one place.  

M_r:    30.07          236.74

           C₂H₆ + … ⟶ C₂Cl₆ + …  

m/g:    90.0

(i) Calculate the moles of C₂H₆

n = 90.0 g C₂H₆  × (1 mol C₂H₆ /30.07 g C₂H₆)

  = 2.993 mol C₂H₆

(ii) Calculate the moles of C₂Cl₆

The molar ratio is (1 mol C₂Cl₆/1 mol C₂H₆)

n = 2.993 mol C₂H₆ × (1 mol C₂Cl₆/1 mol C₂H₆)

  = 2.993 mol C₂Cl₆

(iii) Calculate the mass of C₂Cl₆

m = 2.993 mol C₂Cl₆ × (236.74 g C₂Cl₆/1 mol C₂Cl₆)

m = 709 g C₂Cl₆

The reaction produces 709 g C₂Cl₆.
