Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. If scientists discover a mummified Cro-Magnon specimen, they will first want to determ

ine its age. When examining a sample from the bone remains, the scientists discover the specimen is composed of 25% carbon-14 and 75% nitrogen-14. How old is this specimen?

Answer:

the specimen has 11460 years old

Explanation:

if the live sample has as initial amount of Yo C14, the dead sample will have 0.25Yo of C14.

the rate of decay of radiactive matter over time is

  • Y(t) = Yo * e (( - t * Ln2 ) / T)

∴ Y(t) = 0.25Yo;  T = 5730

⇒ 0.25Yo = Yo * e (( - t * Ln2 ) / 5730 )

⇒ 0.25 = e (( - t * Ln2 ) / 5730 )

⇒ Ln(0.25) = ( -  t * Ln2 ) / 5730

⇒ - 7943.466 = - t * Ln2

⇒ 7943.466 / Ln2 = t

⇒ t = 11460 year

Given the chemical equation: Fe2O3 + 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO2
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 160 g of Fe₂O₃  

Explanation:

Data

mass of Fe = 112 g

mass of CO = in excess

mass of Fe₂O₃ = ?

Balanced chemical reaction

                Fe₂O₃  +  3CO  ⇒  2Fe  +  3CO₂

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of Fe₂O₃ and Fe

Molar mass Fe₂O₃ = (56 x 2) + (16 x 3) = 112 + 48 = 160 g

atomic mass of Fe = 56

2.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of Fe₂O₃ needed

                160 g of Fe₂O₃ ------------------- 2(56) g of Fe

                 x     g of Fe₂O₃ ------------------ 112 g of Fe

                 x = (112 x 160) / 2(56)

                 x = 17920/112

                 x = 160 g of Fe₂O₃

Which too factors determine whether a collision between two reactant molecules will result in a reaction? select all that apply.
stepan [7]

Answer:

The particles must be in the correct orientation upon impact.

The particles must collide with enough energy to meet the activation energy of the reaction.

Explanation:

This a problem related to chemical kinetics. The collision theory is one of the theories of reaction rates and it perfectly explains how the effectiveness of colliding molecules dictates the pace of a reaction.

For reactions to occur, there must be collisions between reacting particles. It implies that the collision per unit time and how successful collisions are determines the rate of chemical reactions in most cases. Therefore, for a collision to be successful, colliding particle must have enough energy  which is greater than the activation energy of the reaction. In order to also produce the desired products, the colliding particles must be properly oriented.

The Blue Giant of the Orient is the largest faceted sapphire in the world, with a mass of
vfiekz [6]

The volume of this sapphire in cubic centimeters is 24.4 cm^3

We have the following information;

Mass of the Blue Giant = 486.52 carats

Density of the blue giant = 3.98 g/cm3

Volume of the blue giant = ?

Since the density is given in g/cm3, we must convert the mass to grams.

We have the conversion factor; 5 carats = 1 g

So;

If 5 carats make 1g

486.52 carats make 486.52 carats × 1g/ 5 carats

= 97.30 g

Since;

Density = mass/volume

Volume = Mass/Density

Volume = 97.30 g/3.98 g/cm3

Volume =  24.4 cm^3
