Use Table 1 below to answer the following question: Scientists find a piece of wood that is thought to be from an ancient fire c

ircle. They find that the wood contains an amount of carbon-14 (14C) that is approximately 1/16 of the current atmospheric C14 levels.
If you started with 1 million carbon-14 atoms, how many atoms would remain in the wood? C14 has a t1/2 of 5,750 years. (Only use numbers in your answer)

     4                           23000                        .....                            62,500

Since, wood sample contained 1/16 of current atmospheric concentration of 14C. It means that sample has crossed 4 half-life. Number atoms left are 4 half life = 62,500

How can you increase the boiling point of water?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

Adding any solute to water will increase the boiling temperature, as it reduces the vapour pressure, meaning a slightly higher temperature is required in order for the vapour pressure to become equal to atmospheric pressure and boil the water. Essentially, adding any non-volatile solute (such as salt, baking soda or sugar) to a liquid causes a decrease in the liquid's vapour pressure.

More electrons move into your body when you walk across a carpeted floor than when you walk across a smooth floor. What is the m
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Answer is explained below:

Explanation:

Your feet rub electrons off the carpet so, when we walk on carpeted floor more electrons move into our body and this is because of static electricity. Static electricity is stationary electric charge, generally produced by friction.

The volume of oxygen, collected over water, is 185 mL at 25 degrees Celsius and 600 torr. calculate the dry volume of the oxygen
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

0.1593 L.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n and P are constant, and have two different values of V and T:

<em>P₁V₁T₂ = P₂V₂T₁</em>

<em></em>

P₁ = 600 torr/760 = 0.789 atm, V₁ = 185.0 mL = 0.185 L, T₁ = 25.0°C + 273 = 298.0 K.

P₂ (at STP) = 1.0 atm, V₂ = ??? L, T₂ (at STP = 0.0°C) = 0.0°C + 273 = 273.0 K.

<em>∴ V₂ = P₁V₁T₂/P₂T₁</em> = (0.789 atm)(0.185 mL)(298.0 K)/(1.0 atm)(273.0 K) = <em>0.1593 L.</em>
