Answer:
a. 9.2
b. 4.4
c. 6.3
Explanation:
In order to calculate the pH of each solution, we will use the definition of pH.
pH = -log [H⁺]
(a) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ M
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 9.2
Since pH > 7, the solution is basic.
(b) [H⁺] = 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ M
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ = 4.4
Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.
(c) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ M
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ = 6.3
Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.
Answer:
Volume of acid, Va=250mL; Volume of quinine,Vb=20mL; Molarity of acid, Ma=0.05M.
Molar mass of acid= H2+S+O4= 2+32+(16X4)= 2+32+64=98g
Concentration of acid, Ca= Molar mass of acid/ Ma =98/0.05=1960g/mol
Explanation: To calculate concentration of quinine, Cb is as follow
Va*Ca=Vb*Cb
∴ Cb=Va*Ca/Vb =250*1960/20 =24500g/mol
The seven dots around flourine are the valence electrons
Carbon-14 is radioactive isotope of carbon.
Carbon is essential element of living cells. While the living cells are alive, the carbon contained in them are in equilibrium with the carbon in atmosphere. But, once the cell dies, the carbon-14 isotope undergoes radioactive decay. By measuring the carbon-14 in atmosphere to the carbon-14 in dead organism, we can calculate the time (or years) that organism have died.
However, carbon-14 dating technique is not accurate for estimating the age of materials older than 50,000 years old (above 40,000 years). This is because, 99% of carbon is carbon-12, 1% is carbon-13 and trace remaining is the carbon-14. This means, carbon-14 is found in very trace amount, in fact 1 part per trillion of carbon atoms present is carbon-14. The half of life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years. For dating the organism, we use the concept of half lives of the carbon-14 isotope in the dead organisms and calculate how many half life old the sample is. But as the years increases, the number of carbon-14 isotope becomes too low to detect and make accurate calculation.
This means, at some point the organism can simply run out of carbon-14.
Hence carbon-14 dating is not accurate for estimating age of materials older than 50,000 years old.
Answer:
35.7%
Explanation:
The percent yield is calculated by the formula:
<em>[(actual yield) / (theoretical yield)] * 100</em>
In this case, the actual yield is 0.15 grams, and the theoretical yield is 0.42 grams. So, putting these values into the equation, we have:
Thus, the percent yield of 
is 35.7%.
Hope this helps!
