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)

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

3) (Solid magnesium carbonate mixed in a solution of dilute hydrochloric acid. Assume the
Virty [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of magnesium carbonate that will be dissolved in the reaction is 6.99 g.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Amount of heat released = 1950 J = 1.950 kJ                 (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J)

The chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium carbonate and hydrochloric acid follows:

MgCO_3+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+H_2O+CO_2;\Delta H_{rxn}=-23.4kJ

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 23.4 kJ of heat is released, then 1 mole of magnesium carbonate is dissolved

So, when 1.950 kJ of heat is released, then = \frac{1mol}{23.4kJ}\times 1.950kJ=0.083mol of magnesium carbonate is dissolved

To calculate the mass of the substance by given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Moles of magnesium carbonate = 0.083 moles

Molar mass of magnesium carbonate = 84.3 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.083mol=\frac{\text{Mass of magnesium carbonate}}{84.3g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of magnesium carbonate}=0.083mol\times 84.3g/mol=6.99g

Hence, the mass of magnesium carbonate that will be dissolved in the reaction is 6.99 g.

Which section of a lab report would most appropriately contain the possible sources of error in an experiment?
Vlad1618 [11]

The lab report contains the theory, process, data and calculation of the experiment. The theory and process are remains fixed for a particular experiment. Thus there is no chance to get error from these two part. The calculation depends upon the reading or data of the experiment. The calculation is also unique and based on the data. Thus the error come from the data of the experiment. As for example for a titration experiment the data recorded in the process from the burret is the source of error, on which the calculation depends.

a container holds 6.4 moles of gas. hydrogen gas makes up 25% of the total moles in the container. if the total pressure is 1.24
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The total pressure of the mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressure of each gas as if it is alone in the container. The partial pressure of a component of the mixture is said to be equal to the product of the total pressure and the mole fraction of the component in the mixture.<span>

Partial pressure of hydrogen gas = 1.24 atm x .25 = 0.31 atm
<span>Partial pressure of the remaining = 1.24 atm x (1-.25) = 0.93 atm </span></span>

1. What would happen if you aimed light from the magenta part of the Horsehead Nebula through a spectrograph?
otez555 [7]

Given what we know, we can confirm that if you aimed light from the magenta part of the Horsehead Nebula through a spectrograph we would be able to determine more precisely the structure and details of the cloud.

<h3>How do we use Spectrums in order to understand stars?</h3>

The spectrums recorded by scientists, such as those of stars or nebulas like the horsehead nebula can tell us a great deal about the composition of said entities. Studying the spectrum can tell scientists about the chemical composition of stars or nebulas, such as information about the elements that form them, like their temperatures and densities.

<h3 /><h3>How would a discontinuous emission of hydrogen gas look in the spectrum?</h3>

This would appear as pauses in the lines of the spectrum. If the emission of the hydrogen gas were constant, there would be a continuous line on the spectrum graph to indicate the illuminated hydrogen, though if this line were discontinuous, we would be able to assume that its source is emission from another gas instead.

Therefore, we can confirm that spectrography is an essential part of scientific discovery pertaining to our universe. It allows us to study the chemical composition of stars and nebulas, and determine the sources of certain emissions like that of hydrogen gases.
