Answer:
The concentration of the copper sulfate solution is 83 mM.
Explanation:
The absorbance of a copper sulfate solution can be calculated using Beer-Lambert Law:
A = ε . c . <em>l</em>
where
ε is the extinction coefficient of copper sulfate (ε = 12 M⁻¹.cm⁻¹)
c is its molar concentration (what we are looking for)
l is the pathlength (0.50 cm)
We can use this expression to find the molarity of this solution:
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:
Where,
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:
Where,
is the concentration at time t
is the initial concentration
Given that the final concentration contains 8.25 % of the original quantity which means that:
So,
ln(.0825)= -1.21×10⁻⁴×t
<u> t = 20619.4793 years</u>
