<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
= 11,460 years
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>The half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years
. Half life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of its original mass. Therefore, it would take a time of 5730 years for a sample of 100 g of carbon-14 to decay to 50 grams</u></em>
<em>The initial amount of carbon-14 in this case was 1 whole; thus; </em>
<em>1 → 1/2 →1/4</em>
<em>To contain 1/4 of the value, 2 half-lives have passed.
</em>
<em>But, 1 half life = 5,730 years</em>
<em>Therefore; The artifact is is therefore: 2 x 5,730
</em>
<em> = 11,460 years </em>
Full Question:
Ammonia chemically reacts with oxygen gas to produce nitric oxide and water. What mass of water is produced by the reaction of 7.7g of ammonia?
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Answer:
12.23g ≈ 12g (2 s.f)
Explanation:
Ammonia chemically reacts with oxygen gas to produce nitric oxide and water. The balanced chemical reaction is given as:
4 NH3 + 5 O2 -------> 4 NO + 6 H2O
From the reaction;
4 mole of ammonia reacts to produce 6 moles of water
From the question;
Moles = mass / molar mass
From the question;
moles of ammonia = mass / molar mass = 7.7 / 17 = 0.4529moles
Number of moles of water produced;
4 = 6
0.4529 = x
x = (0.4529 * 6 ) / 4
x = 0.67935moles
Mass of water = moles * molar mass = 0.67935 * 18 = 12.23g ≈ 12g (2 s.f)
