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

What salt is formed by the reaction of potassium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid?
Nina [5.8K]

Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is formed when Potassium forms ionic bonds with OH-ions while Potassium Oxide (K2O) is formed when potassium forms ionic bonds with the Oxide (O2-) ions. i.e. This reaction is a neutralization reaction and occurs when an acid (HCl) reacts with a base (KOH).

Which statement is correct about the rate of a chemical reaction? A. It increases when the concentration of reactants increases.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

It increases when the concentration of reactants increases.

Explanation:

Increasing the concentration of reactants in a reaction increases the amount of reacting molecules or ions which would increase the rate of a chemical reaction. Reaction rate does depend on temperature. Increasing temperature also increases reaction rate because particles move faster with the increased kinetic energy to produce more collisions.

A 1.00 g sample of octane (C8H18) is burned in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 837J∘C that holds 1200. g of water at
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is  -5485.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of octane = 1.00 grams

Heat capacity of calorimeter = 837 J/°C

Mass of water = 1200 grams

Temperature of water = 25.0°C

Final temperature : 33.2 °C

<u> Step 2:</u> Calculate heat absorbed by the calorimeter

q = c*ΔT

⇒ with c = the heat capacity of the calorimeter = 837 J/°C

⇒ with ΔT = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25.0 : 8.2 °C

q = 837 * 8.2 = 6863.4 J

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate heat absorbed by the water

q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = the mass of the water = 1200 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25  = 8.2 °C

q = 1200 * 4.184 * 8.2 =  41170.56 J

<u>Step 4</u>: Calculate the total heat

qcalorimeter + qwater = 6863.4 + 41170. 56 = 48033.96 J  = 48 kJ

Since this is an exothermic reaction, there is heat released. q is positive but ΔH is negative.

<u>Step 5</u>: Calculate moles of octane

Moles octane = 1.00 gram / 114.23 g/mol

Moles octane = 0.00875 moles

<u>Step 6:</u> Calculate heat combustion for 1.00 mol of octane

ΔH = -48 kJ / 0.00875 moles

ΔH = -5485.7 kJ/mol

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is  -5485.7 kJ/mol

soaps do not work well in hard waters. But they can still be effected it large quantities of soap are added to water. Explain wh
zmey [24]
The minerals in hard water react with soap and affect its cleaning capacity. It's still possible to use hard water when washing by using more soap. The additional soap will no longer be affected by the minerals in the water, so they can clean just as effectively, but you'll be wasting more soap this way.
