How do scientist use radioactive decay to date fossils and artifacts

1 answer:

3 0

Scientists use radioactive decay to date fossils and artifacts through a process called "carbon dating," which measures the amount of carbon still left in a dead object. The less carbon that exists, the longer that animal or plant as been dead.

What is the molarity (M) of chloride ions in a solution prepared by mixing 155 ml of 0.276 M calcium chloride with 384 ml of 0.4

sesenic [268]

Answer: The concentration of $Cl^-$ ions in the resulting solution is 1.16 M.

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of the solution after mixing 2 solutions, we use the equation:

$M=\frac{n_1M_1V_1+n_2M_2V_2}{V_1+V_2}$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the $CaCl_2$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the $AlCl_3$

We are given:

$n_1=2\\M_1=0.276M\\V_1=155mL\\n_2=3\\M_2=0.471M\\V_2=384mL$

Putting all the values in above equation, we get

$M=\frac{(2\times 0.276\times 155)+(3\times 0.471\times 384)}{155+384}\\\\M=1.16M$

The concentration of $Cl^-$ ions in the resulting solution will be same as the molarity of solution which is 1.16 M.

Hence, the concentration of $Cl^-$ ions in the resulting solution is 1.16 M.

Gas is heated from 480. K to 750. K and the pressure is kept constant, what final volume would result if the original volume was

attashe74 [19]

Charles law gives the relationship between volume and temperature of gas.
It states that at constant pressure volume is directly proportional to temperature
Therefore
V/ T = k
Where V - volume T - temperature in kelvin and k - constant
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation
Substituting the values in the equation
267 L/ 480 K = V / 750 K
V = 417 L
Final volume is 417 L
