If the half life of a radioactive isotope is 4000 years, how much would be left in a fossil after 4000 years

Chemistry

mamaluj [8]3 years ago

Since the half life of the radioactive isotope is 4,000 years, after 4,000 years the amount of the isotope would decrease by half. (Hence the name, half life.) So, after 4,000 years, there would be half of the isotope left in the fossil.

A system gains 652 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to +241 kJ. How much work is done?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

-411 kj

Explanation:

We solve by using this formula

∆U = ∆Q + ∆W

This formula is the first law of thermodynamics

Change in internal energy U = +241

Heat gained by system Q = 652

Putting the value into the equation

+241 = 652 + W

Workdone = 241 - 652

Workdone = -411 kj

Since work done is negative it means that work was done by the system

soldi70 [24.7K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept tested: Balancing of chemical equations

  • A chemical equation is balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on the products and reactants of the equation.
  • Balancing chemical equations ensures that chemical equations obey law of conservation of mass.
  • In this case; to balance the above equation we put the coefficients, 1, 3, 2, and 3 on the reactants and products.
  • Therefore; the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is;

      Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)
