Answer:  The carbon-14 left after 10 years is 25 g

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for rate constant

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.693}{5years}=0.139years^{-1}

b) for amount left after 10 years

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{(a-x)}

10=\frac{2.303}{0.139}\log\frac{100}{(a-x)}

(a-x)=25g

Thus carbon-14 left after 10 years is 25 g

Choose the molecular compound among the substances listed below.
agasfer [191]

Answer: Among the listed substances XeCl_{4} is the molecular compound.

Explanation:

A chemical compound formed by the chemical combination of two or more non-metals is called a molecular compound or covalent compound.

For example, Xe and Cl are non-metals. The compound formed by them is XeCl_{4} which is a molecular compound.

A molecular compound is formed by sharing of atoms between the combining atoms.

Whereas NaF, MnCl_{2} and CaO are all ionic compounds as they are formed by chemical combination of a metal and a non-metal.

Thus, we can conclude that among the listed substances XeCl_{4} is the molecular compound.
