In order for 100 grams of Carbon 14 to decay to 25 grams, 2 half lives worth of time would have passed. 

<span>log(100/25) / log(2) = 2 half lives </span>

<span>2 * 5730 years = 11,460 years</span>

Scientists are studying animals in a large lake area. In this lake area, both owls and raccoons eat ducks, and ducks eat frogs.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Population of duck and frog will change with the change

Explanation:

The complete question is

Scientists are studying animals in a large lake area. In this lake area, both owls and raccoons eat ducks, and ducks eat frogs. The data shows that recently the size of the raccoon population decreased. How will the decrease in the raccoon population affect the other populations? Be sure to explain whether the owl population, the duck population, and the frog population will change, and why.

  1. Owl population will change
  2. Duck population will change
  3. Frog population will change

Solution

Raccoon eat duck and duck eat frog. Now if the population of Raccoon decreases then the number of predators of duck will decrease thereby increasing the population of duck.

The higher will be the number of ducks, the more frogs they will consume thereby decreasing the population of frogs

Hence both the population of duck and frog will change with the change

In going from room temperature 25° to 35 the rate of a reaction doubles calculate the activation energy for the reaction
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

52.9 KJmol-1

Explanation:

From;

log(k2/k1) = Ea/2.303 * R (1/T1 - 1/T2)

The temperatures must be converted to Kelvin;

T1 = 25° C + 273 = 298 K

T2= 35°C + 273 = 308 K

R= gas constant = 8.314 JK-1mol-1

Substituting values;

log 2 = Ea/2.303 * 8.314 (1/298 - 1/308)

Ea = 52.9 KJmol-1

The enthalpy change for converting 1.00 mol of ice at -50.0 ∘c to water at 60.0∘c is ________ kj. the specific heats of ice, wat
guajiro [1.7K]
First, we have to get:

1- The heat required to increase T of ice from -50 to 0 °C:

according to q formula:

q1 = m*C*ΔT

when m is the mass of ice = mol * molar mass

                                             =  1 mol * 18 mol/g

                                            = 18 g

and C is the specific heat capacity of ice = 2.09 J/g-K

and ΔT change in temperature = 0- (-50) = 50°C

by substitution:

∴q1 = 18 g * 2.09 J/g-K *50°C

       = 1881 J = 1.881 KJ

2- the heat required to melt this mass of ice is :

q2 = n*ΔHfus 

when n is the number of moles of ice = 1 mol

and ΔHfus = 6.01 KJ/mol

by substitution:

q2 = 1 mol * 6.01 KJ/mol

     = 6.01 KJ

3- the heat required to increase the water temperature from 0°C to 60 °C is:

q3 = m*C*ΔT

when m is the mass of water = 18 g 

C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g-K

ΔT is the change of Temperature of water = 60°C - 0°C = 60°C

by substitution:

∴q3 = 18 g * 4.18 J/g-K * 60°C

      = 4514 J = 4.514 KJ

∴the total change of enthalpy = q1+q2+q3

                                                  = 1.881 KJ  +6.01 KJ + 4.514 KJ

                                                  = 12.405 KJ
