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

An atom of Fe has 30 neutrons. What is the mass number of this atom?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

56

Explanation:

The mass number of an atom is a sum of its number of protons and neutrons. Iron (Fe) has an atomic number of 26. This means that it has 26 protons. Since we know it has 26 protons and are told it has 30 neutrons. The mass number of this atom of Iron is 26+30 = 56

Hope this helped!

What is the molarity of solution that is 5.50 percentage by mass oxalic acid and has a density of 1.024 g/ml
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

0.6257 M is the molarity of solution that is 5.50 percentage by mass oxalic acid.

Explanation:

Mass percentage of oxalic acid = 5.50%

This means that in 100 grams of solution there are 5.50 grams of oxalic acid.

Mass of solution , m = 100

Volume of the solution = V

Density of the solution = d = 1.024 g/mL

V=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{100 g}{1.024 g/mL}=97.66mL

V = 97.66 mL = 0.09766 L

(1 mL = 0.001 L)

Moles of oxalic acid = \frac{5.50 g}{90 g/mol}=0.06111 mol

Molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in L}}

The molarity of the solution :

=\frac{0.06111 mol}{0.09766  L}=0.6257M

0.6257 M is the molarity of solution that is 5.50 percentage by mass oxalic acid.
