Which statement describes why radiocarbon dating has an upward limit of 50 000 years

1 answer:

7 0

Because The half-life of carbon-14 is around 5,700 years. So, by measuring the half-live of the sample, we could predict how old the sample actually is.
After 50,000 years there is probably less than 1% of the original C-14 left which make it much more accurate to measure, so, the upward limit is put on 50,000 years.

How many electrons does one neutrally charged atom of argon have?

padilas [110]

Answer:

A. 18

Explanation:

A neutral charged atom is an atom with 0 charge.

Anyway, first look at the periodic table and find Argon.

After you find Argon, look at its Atomic number.

Its Atomic number is 18.

And a neutral atom of Argon has 0 charge.

So we need 18 electrons for Argon to cancel out and become neutral.

Basic math:

18 +( -18) = 0

Therefore, the correct answer is A. 18

Hope it helped!

If the NaOH is added to 35.0 mL of 0.167 M Cu(NO3)2 and the precipitate isolated by filtration, what is the theoretical yield of

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 0.570 grams

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is given by

Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) --------> Cu(OH)2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

1.0 mole 2.0 mole 1.0 mole 2.0 mole

number of mol of Cu(OH)2,

n = Molarity * Volume

= $35.0*0.167 = 5.845$ millimoles

As clear in the equation, 1 mole of Cu(NO3)2 gives 1 mole of Cu(OH)2 , So, 5.845 millimoles of Cu(NO3)2 will produce 5.845 millimoles of Cu(OH)2

Mass of Cu(OH)2 = number of mol * molar mass

= $97.5*5.845*10^-3$

= 0.570 grams

Thus, the correct answer is - 0.570 grams
