Answer: 2948

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.69}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{5730}=1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

t = age of sample  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = \frac{70}{100}\times 100=70

t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{70}

t=2948years

Thus the fossil is 2948 years old.

Use the bond energy to calculate an approximate value of δh for the following reaction. Which is the more stable form of fno2?
professor190 [17]

The enthalpy of reaction or ∆H reaction is the difference between the bond energy of the reactants and the bond energy of the products.

<h3>What is ∆H reaction?</h3>

The term ∆H reaction refers to the heat that is evolved or absorbed in a chemical reaction. It is also known as the enthalpy of reaction.

The question is incoherent but I will try to answer as much as possible. Using the values of bond energy, ∆H reaction = Bond energy of reactants - bond energy of products. This will give us the enthalpy of reaction.

Calculate the ph of a buffer that is 0.13m in lactic acid and 0.10m in sodium lactate.
Alona [7]
According to Henderson–Hasselbalch Equation,

                                       pH  =  pKa + log [Lactate] / [Lactic Acid]
As,
      Ka of Lactic Acid  =  1.38 × 10⁻⁴

           pKa  = -log Ka
           pKa  = -log 1.38 × 10⁻⁴
           pKa  =  3.86
So,
                                  pH  =  3.86 + log [0.10] / [0.13]

                                  pH  =  4.74 + log 0.769

                                  pH  =  4.74 - 0.11

                                  pH  =  4.63
