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

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.

In the Haber reaction, patented by German chemist Fritz Haber in 1908, dinitrogen gas combines with dihydrogen gas to produce ga
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The rate at which ammonia is being produced is 0.41 kg/sec.

Explanation:

N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3 Haber reaction

Volume of dinitrogen consumed in a second = 505 L

Temperature at which reaction is carried out,T= 172°C = 445.15 K

Pressure at which reaction is carried out, P = 0.88 atm

Let the moles of dinitrogen be n.

Using an Ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.88 atm\times 505 L}{0.0821 atm l/mol K\times 445.15 K}=12.1597 mol

According to reaction , 1 mol of ditnitrogen gas produces 2 moles of ammonia.

Then 12.1597 mol of dinitrogen will produce :

\frac{2}{1}\times 12.1597 mol=24.3194 mol of ammonia

Mass of 24.3194 moles of ammonia =24.3194 mol × 17 g/mol

=413.43 g=0.41343 kg ≈ 0.41 kg

505 L of dinitrogen are consumed in 1 second to produce 0.41 kg of ammonia in 1 second. So the rate at which ammonia is being produced is 0.41 kg/sec.

A glucose solution has a density of 1.02 g/ml. what is its specific gravity
Makovka662 [10]
Answer is: specific gravity of glucose is 1,02.
d(glucose) = 1,02 g/ml.
d(water) = 1,00 g/ml.
Specific gravity of glucose = density of glucose ÷ density of water.
Specific gravity of glucose = 1,02 g/ml ÷ 1,00 g/ml.
Specific gravity of glucose = 1,02.
Specific gravity<span> is the ratio of the </span>density<span> of a substance (in this case glucose) to the density of a reference substance (water).</span>
