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

For the reaction2 C4H10 (g) + 13 O2 (g) → 8 CO2 (g) + 10 H2O (g)ΔH° is -125 kJ/mol and ΔS° is +253 J/K ∙ mol. This reaction is _

Answer:

C. spontaneous at all temperatures

Explanation:

The spontaneity of  reaction is determined by the sign of the  gibbs free energy.

A negative sign denotes that the reaction is spontaneous, positive sign means the reaction is not spontaneous.

From the question;

ΔS° = +253 J/K

ΔH° = -125 kJ/mol

ΔG = ΔH°  - TΔS°

From the data given, the condition in which we can obtain a negative value of G, is at any value of T.

For any value of T, G would always be a negative value.

This means the correct option is option C.

Convert 25.4 grams of barium phosphate, Ba3(PO4)2 to formula units.
Salsk061 [2.6K]
To solve this questions you first need to find the number of moles of barium phosphate you have. The molar mass of barium phosphate is 601.93g/mol.
24.4/601.83 = 0.0402 moles barium phosphate
Then you need to use avagadro’s number, 6.022 x 10^23, which is the number of molecules or formula units in a mole.

6.022 x 10^23 * 0.0402 = 2.42 x 10^22 formula units
