Which is more prevalent in the food we eat: carbon-12 or carbon-14?

1 answer:

5 0

I think the more prevalent in the food we eat is Carbon-12 which is present in Most of the food we ingest. Both carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon, they differ in the number of neutrons in each atom. Because of the different number of neutrons, carbon-12 and carbon-14 differ with respect to radioactivity. Carbon-12 is a stable isotope but carbon-14 undergoes radioactive decay.

patriot [66]

<u>Answer:</u>

Law used: Combined Gas Law

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given the following problem:

Carbon dioxide is in a steel tank at 20°C, 10 liters and 1 atm. What is the pressure on the gas when the tank is heated to 100°C?

To solve this, the most appropriate law that can be used it Combined Gas Law, which is the result of combining the Boyle's law, Charles' law, and Gay-Lussac's law together.

During the titration of a weak acid and a strong base, you would expect the ph at the endpoint of titration to be ____.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer is: b. more than 7.

The endpoint is the point at which the indicator changes colour in a colourimetric titration and that is point when titration must stop.

For example, basic salt sodium acetate CH₃COONa is formed from the reaction between weak acid (in this example acetic acid CH₃COOH) and strong base (in this example sodium acetate NaOH).

Balanced chemical reaction of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide:

CH₃COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) → CH₃COONa(aq) + H₂O(l).

Neutralization is is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH) and a base react quantitatively with each other.

Answer: D is the correct answer

Explanation: When there is no insulator surrounding a metal wire then there is nothing to stop the electrons from flowing outside of the wire, This means that anything the wire comes in contact with could get shocked or burnt when there is a current flowing through the wire.
