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>

(9) How many moles of oleum in 1780. g of oleum? - Write an equation to summarize the process.
stich3 [128]

Answer:

1. 10moles

2. Find the summarized equation below

Explanation:

Mole = mass ÷ molar mass

Molar mass of oleum (H2S2O7) = 1(2) + 32(2) + 16(7)

= 2 + 64 + 112

= 178g/mol

According to the information provided, the mass of oleum is 1780g, hence, the number of moles in it is:

Mole = 1780/178

Mole = 10moles

2. The summarized equation of the contact process is:

1) S + O2 → SO2

2) 2SO2 + O2 → 2SO3

3) SO3 + H2SO4 (conc. sulfuric acid) → H2S2O7

4) H2S2O7 + H2O → 2H2SO4 (dilute sulfuric acid)

Explain why chlorine gas is used in water treatment instead of fluorine gas
Gekata [30.6K]

when Cl2 is dissolved in water it generates ClO which is a good oxidizing agent since it gives out atomic oxygen. but dissolution of F2 cannot generate atomic oxygen since F is more electronegative than O

Provide one example of how life on Earth would not be possible without water based on its characteristics.
snow_lady [41]

Answer: ice is less dense than liquid water. If ice was more dense, Earth would freeze.

Explanation: There are many reasons why life on Earth depends on the characteristics of water. One could discuss hydrogen bonds and its role as a solvent, but the unusual property of water is is the change in density with change in temperature. Water is densest at 4 degC, which is why ice floats - it is less dense than cold water (it melts quickly in warm water, so density isn’t impotant at higher temperatures). Most liquids are less dense than the solid, frozen form. If this was the case with water, any ice that formed would sink, and sease would freeze from the bottom up. Furthermore, the lowest layers would be insulated and would not all melt in summer. Thus over time, the seas would become a thin layer of liquid water at best, over solid ice. Life could not develop without liquid seas. In addition, ice is reflective, reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed, further reducing temperatures. Without ocean circulation, polar areas would be even colder, and there would be no rain.

Discuss electrochemical principle about rusting of iron​
Levart [38]

Answer:

The electrochemical phenomenon of rusting of iron can be described as : At Anode: Fe (s) undergoes oxidation to releases electrons. Electrons released at anode move to another metal and reduce oxygen in presence of H+. It is available from H2CO3 formed from the dissolution of CO2 from air into water.
