AVprozaik [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Age of rock = 722 million years old

Explanation:

Using the formula; <em>fraction remaining = 0.5ⁿ</em>

where n = number of half lives elapsed.

However, from the given values, fraction remaining = 1.000 - 0.0105

fraction remaining = 0.9895

Substituting in the formula to determine the number of half-lives:

0.9895 = 0.5ⁿ

log 0.9895 = n log 0.5  

-0.0045842 = -0.30103 n

number of half lives elapsed, n = 0.0152

Therefore age of rock = 0.0152 x 4.75 x 10¹⁰ years =  7.22 x10⁸ years

Age of rock = 722 million years old

lord [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 800.

Explanation:

Given:

Total amount = ? or assume x

spend in buying birthday item = 3/4 of x

given to sister = 1/5 of x

remaining to mother = 40

solution:

the remaning amount = x- (3x/4+x/5) = 4=

=> x- 19x/20 = 40

=> x = 20*40

=> x = 800

thus, the correct answer is = 800

How many moles of CCI are there in 78.2 g of CCI.?
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

0.508 mole

Explanation:

NOTE: Since no hydrogen is attached to the compound given in question above, it means the compound is CCl₄.

The number of mole present in 78.2 g of CCl₄ can be obtained as follow:

Mass of CCl₄ = 78.2 g

Molar mass of CCl₄ = 12 + (35.5×4)

= 12 + 142

= 154 g/mol

Mole of CCl₄ =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of CCl₄ = 78.2 / 154

Mole of CCl₄ = 0.508 mole

Therefore, 0.508 mole is present in 78.2 g of CCl₄
