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.

Identify the missing coefficient in the balanced equation and classify the type of reaction.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Option 6 ) Neutralization

Explanation:

For this case, the missing coefficient would be a "6" before the H₂O, within final products (right side of the equiation), hence, the final reaction should be:

2H₃PO₄ + 3Ba(OH)₂ ------> Ba₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O

You should have in mind that the amount of atoms at each side of the chemical equation should be the same, so as to comply with the principle of mass conservation. If you add "6" on the left side of the H₂O, the equation will be balanced (for each side, lef and right, you will have: 12H, 2P, 14O and 3Ba)

Lastly, this is a chemical neutralization reaction, where an acid (H₃PO₄) is reacting with a base (Ba(OH)₂) in order to finally obtain a neutral salt (Ba₃(PO₄)₂) and water (H₂O)

Calculate the decrease in temperature when 7.00 L at 21.5 °C is compressed to 4.00 L. The pressure remains constant at 101.3 kPa

ivolga24 [154]

Explanation:

$\frac{P _{1} V _{1} }{T _{2}} = \frac{P _{2} V _{2}}{T _{1}} \\ \frac{(101300 \times 7)}{(21.5 + 273)} = \frac{(101300 \times 4)}{T _{2}} \\ T _{2} = \frac{(405200 \times 294.5)}{(709100)} \\ T _{2} = 168.3 \: kelvin \\ decrease \: in \: temperature = (294.5 - 168.3) \\ = 126.2 \: kelvin$
