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

A chemist prepares a solution of barium acetate by measuring out of barium acetate into a volumetric flask and filling the flask
leonid [27]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A chemist prepares a solution of barium acetate by measuring out 32 g of barium acetate into a 350 ml volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. Calculate the concentration in of the chemist's barium acetate solution. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer:  The concentration of barium acetate solution is 0.375 mol/L

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute

V_s = volume of solution in ml

moles of Ba(CH_3COO)_2 = \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{32g}{255g/mol}=0.125mol

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

Molarity=\frac{0.125\times 1000}{350ml}

Molarity=0.357M

Therefore, the concentration of solution is 0.375 mol/L

Usually potassium hydrogen phthalate is kept very pure. But Stu Dent thinks the bottle of potassium hydrogen phthalate has been
Ahat [919]

Answer:

1.784 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

NaOH(aq) + KHC8H4O4(aq) --------> KNaC8H4O4(aq) + H2O(l)

Number of moles of NaOH reacted = 17.47/1000 * 0.5000 M

Number of moles of NaOH reacted =8.735 * 10^-3 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of NaOH reacted with 1 mole of KHC8H4O4

Hence, 8.735 * 10^-3 moles of NaOH reacts with 8.735 * 10^-3 moles of KHP.

So,

Mass of KHP reacted = 8.735 * 10^-3 moles * 204.2 g/mol = 1.784 g

You have dissolved 10 g sodium oxide in 200 ml water.calculate concentration of the solution
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

0.85 Molar Na2O

Explanation:

Determine the moles of sodium oxide, Na2O, in 10 grams by dividing by the molar mass of Na2O (61.98 g/mole).

 (10 g Na2O)/(61.98 g/mole) = 0.161 moles Na2O.

Molar is a measure of concentration.  It is defined as moles/liter.  A 1 M  solution contains 1 mole of solute per liter of solvent.  [200 ml water = 0.2 Liters water.]

In this case, we have 0.161 moles Na2O in 0.200 L of solvent.

 (0.161 moles Na2O)/(0.200 L) = 0.85 Molar Na2O

Kilauea volcano in hawaii emits 200-300 tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere each day. this is an example of?
o-na [289]

Kilauea volcano in Hawaii emits 200-300 tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere each day. This is an example of

  • the impact of natural processes on the earth's environment.
  • air pollution from a natural source.
  • the magnitude of the chemistry associated with the environment.

Kilauea volcano in Hawaii emits noxious compounds of sulfur dioxide and other harmful pollutants as a result of a reaction with atmospheric water vapors and oxygen.

This reaction results in acid rain and volcanic smog which pollutes the air.

Over the years, the volcano has become a potential threat to health as harmful oxides are accelerating respiratory problems and acid rain destroys crops, and also harms water supplies.
