How do scientist use radioactive decay to date fossils and artifacts

Chemistry

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 mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that contain 22.9% NaOH by mass=0.882

Explanation:

We are given that

Aqueous solution that contains 22.9% NaOH by mass means

22.9 g NaOH in 100 g solution.

Mass of NaOH(WB)=22.9 g

Mass of water =100-22.9=77.1

Na=23

O=16

H=1.01

Molar mass of NaOH(MB)=23+16+1.01=40.01

Number of moles =\frac{Given\;mass}{Molar\;mass}

Using the formula

Number of moles of  NaOH(n_B)=\frac{W_B}{M_B}=\frac{22.9}{40.01}

n_B=0.572moles

Molar mass of water=16+2(1.01)=18.02g

Number of moles of water(n_A)=\frac{77.1}{18.02}

n_A=4.279 moles

Now, mole fraction of NaOH

=\frac{n_B}{n_B+n_A}

=\frac{4.279}{0.572+4.279}

=0.882

Hence, the mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that contain 22.9% NaOH by mass=0.882

in order to find the molar mass of an unknown compound, a research scientist prepared a solution of 0.930 g of an unknown in 125
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Molar mass→ 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol

Explanation:

Let's apply the formula for freezing point depression:

ΔT = Kf . m

ΔT = 74.2°C - 73.4°C → 0.8°C

Difference between the freezing T° of pure solvent and freezing T° of solution

Kf = Cryoscopic constant → 5.5°C/m

So, if we replace in the formula

ΔT = Kf . m → ΔT / Kf = m

0.8°C / 5.5 m/°C = m → 0.0516 mol/kg

These are the moles in 1 kg of solvent so let's find out the moles in our mass of solvent which is 0.125 kg

0.0516 mol/kg . 0.125 kg = 6.45×10⁻³ moles. Now we can determine the molar mass:

Molar mass (mol/kg) → 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol

A natural charge by an atom is caused by which of the following conditions?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

I'm assuming that you meant to type neutral charge.

Since electrons are negative and protons are positive, having a balanced number of both of these would cause an atom to have a neutral charge.
