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.

Give the volume indicated. Be sure to include all significant figures.

miskamm [114]

Answer: -

Explanation: -

From the diagram, we see that volume goes from 70 to 75 in 5 markings.

Each marking is for 1.

It is the most accuracy possible as there is no smaller marking.

Significant figures expresses the required amount of accuracy.

Thus the volume indicated from the diagram is 71 .

15.0 mL of 0.050 M Ba(NO3)2 M and 100.0 mL of 0.10 M KIO3 are added together in a 250 mL erlenmeyer flask. In this problem, igno

Answer:

Yes, precipitation of barium iodate will occur.

Explanation:

Molarity of barium nitrate solution = 0.050 M

Volume of barium nitrate solution =15.0 mL = 0.0150 L

1 mL = 0.001 L

Moles of barium nitrate = n

$n=0.050 M\times 0.0150L=0.00075 mol$

$Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Ba^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)$

Moles of barium ions: $1\times 0.00075 mol=0.00075 mol$

Molarity of potassium iodate solution = 0.10 M

Volume of potassium iodate solution =100.0 mL = 0.1000 L

1 mL = 0.001 L

Moles of potassium iodate = n'

$n'=0.10 M\times 0.1000 L=0.01 mol$

$KIO_3(aq)\rightarrow K^{+}(aq)+IO_3^{-}(aq)$

Moles of iodate ions = $1\times 0.01 mol=0.01 mol$

After mixing of both solution in 250 mL in erlenmeyer flask

Volume of the final solution = 250 mL = 0.250 L

Concentration of barium ions in 250 mL solution :

$[Ba^{2+}]=\frac{0.00075 mol}{0.250 L}=0.003 M$

Concentration of iodate ions:

$[IO_3^{-}]=\frac{0.01 mol}{0.250 L}=0.04 M$

Solubility product of barium iodate, $K_{sp}=4.01\times 10^{-9}$

Ionic product of the barium iodate in solution : $K_i$

$Ba(IO_3)_2\rightleftahrpoons Ba^{2+}+2IO_3^{-}$

$K_i=[Ba^{2+}][IO_2^{-}]^2$

$K_i=0.003 M\times (0.04 M)^2=4.8\times 10^{-6}$

$K_{sp}$ ( precipitation)

As we can see, the ionic product of the barium iodate is greater than the solubility product of the barium iodate precipitation of barium iodiate will occur in 250 mL of final solution.
