A 100g sample of Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5 years. How much Carbon-14 is left after 10 years?

Chemistry

borishaifa [10]3 years ago

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

Which of the following is a chemical change?
FromTheMoon [43]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Silver tarnishing as the silver metal reacts with sulphur is a chemical change.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Tarnishing is the process of chemical change occurring on the surface of objects leading to corrosion or other defects on the surface. The remaining options like dilution, eroding is a physical change where the concentration of salt and rock particles will be decreased, respectively.

Similarly for soil drying also the concentration of water will be decreased leading to a physical change from wetty or dry soil.

But the last option which indicates tarnishing of silver metal on reaction with sulphur is a chemical process as the surface of silver metal will be reacting to sulphur and leads to lose of electrons which leads to corrosion of the surface or tarnishing of silver.

1. (8pt) Using dimensional analysis convert 600.0 calories into kilojoules
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

1. 2.510kJ  

2. Q = 1.5 kJ

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information for this calorimetry problem, we can proceed as follows:

1. Here, we consider the following equivalence statement for converting from calories to joules and from joules to kilojoules:

1cal=4.184J\\\\1kJ=1000J

Then, we perform the conversion as follows:

600.0cal*\frac{4.184J}{1cal}*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}=2.510kJ

2. Here, we use the general heat equation:

Q=mC(T_2-T_1)

And we plug in the given mass, specific heat and initial and final temperature to obtain:

Q=236g*0.24\frac{J}{g\°C} (34.9\°C-8.5\°C)\\\\Q=1495.3J*\frac{1kJ}{1000J} \\\\Q=1.5kJ

Regards!

Choose the best statement of the octet rule from those listed below atoms lose 8 electrons to become valent atoms lose 8 electro
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

atoms tend to react in order to gain 8 valence electrons

Explanation:

The octet rule describes the tendency of atoms of elements to react in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is because having eight valence electrons confers stability to the atoms of these elements in the compounds they form.

The octet rule only does not apply to the transition elements or the inner transition elements as only the s and p electrons are involved. the electronic configuration in atoms having an octet is s²p⁶.

For example, sodium atom has one valence electron in its valence shell but a complete octet in the inner shell; it will react with chlorine atom which has seven valence electrons to form a stable compound, sodium chloride by donating its one valence electron in order to have an octet. Similarly, the chlorine atom will then have an octet by accepting the one electron from sodium atom.
