Answer:

option C is correct (250 g)

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of carbon-14 = 5700 years

Total amount of sample = 1000 g

Sample left after 11,400 years = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of half lives passes during 11,400 years.

Number of half lives = time elapsed/ half life

Number of half lives = 11,400 years/5700 years

Number of half lives = 2

Now we will calculate the amount left.

At time zero = 1000 g

At first half life = 1000 g/2 = 500 g

At second half life = 500 g/2 = 250 g

Thus, option C is correct.

How many milliliters of 0. 0140 m na2s2o3 solution are needed to dissolve 0. 590 g of agbr? agbr(s) 2na2s2o3(aq)→na3ag(s2o3)2(aq

The molarity of the solution can be used to give the moles and the volume of the solution. The 0.0140 M sodium thiosulfate needs 225 ml of volume.

<h3>What is molarity?</h3>

Molarity is the property of the solution that is given by the ratio of the moles of the solute to the volume of the solution in liters.

Given,

Molarity of Sodium thiosulfate = 0.0140 M

Mass of solute (AgBr) = 0.590 gm

Molar mass of AgBr = 187.77 g/mol

First moles from the mass can be calculated as,

Moles = mass ÷ molar mass

n = 0.590 g ÷ 187.77 g/mol

= 0.00314 moles

Now, the volume of the solution from molarity is calculated as,

Volume = moles ÷ molarity

= 0.00314 moles ÷ 0.0140

= 0.225 L

Therefore, 225 mL is the volume required.

How many electrons would a neutral atom of nitrogen need to gain in order to have a full valence electrons shell
Alexeev081 [22]
Nitrogen atom has a valence electrons of 5 electrons. A full octet or full valence electrons shell is composed of 8 electrons. Hence, an additional of 4 electrons are needed for it to become full. this is achieved by covalent bonding where electrons are shared or ionic bonding where electrons are transferred.

Propane (C3H8) can be burned to produce heat for homes. The products of the reaction are CO2 and H2O. For complete combustion to
Natalija [7]

Answer:

1- 3 Moles of CO2  

2- 132 g of CO2  

3- 105,6 g of CO2

4- Limiting Reagent O2

<u>Products form based on limiting reagent (384g O2) :</u>

CO2: 316,8 g

H2O: 172,8 g

<u>Products form based on C3H8 (132,33 g):</u>

CO2: 396,99 g

H2O: 216,54 g  

Explanation:

<u>Atomic Masses:</u>

C: 12

H: 1

O: 16

<u>Molecular weights:</u>

C3H8: 44 g

O2: 32 g

H2O: 18 g

CO2: 44 g

C3H8 + 5 O2⇒ 3 CO2 + 4 H2O

C3H8 (44g)+ O2 (160 g) ⇒ CO2 (132 g) + H2O (72 g)

In 5 moles of O2 are produced 3 moles of CO2, equivalent to 132 g

For 160g of O2 are produced 132 g of CO2, so 128 g of O2

160 g  O2 ⇒ 132 g CO2

128 g  O2⇒ × = 105,6 g CO2

(128×132÷160= 105,6)

The limiting reagent is the substance that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is complete. The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, because the reaction cannot continue without it.

If I have 132,33 g of C3H8 and 384 g O2 we can calculate:

For          44 g of CH3H8  ⇒160 g of O2

With   132,33 g of CH3H8 ⇒ ×= 481,2 g of O2

(132,33×160÷44=481,2)

As this amount exceeds the quantity of O2 that we have, we can assume that the 384 g O2 will be totally consumed.

<u>Calculations of the products formed in base of quantity of O2 (limiting reagent):</u>

160 g  O2 ⇒ 132 g CO2

384 g  O2⇒ × = 316,8 g CO2

(384×132÷160= 316,8)

160 g  O2 ⇒ 72 g H2O

384 g  O2⇒ × = 172,8 g H2O

(384×72÷160= 172,8)

<u>Calculations of the products formed in base of quantity of C3H8 (excess reagent):</u>

     44 g  C3H8 ⇒ 132 g CO2

132,33 g  C3H8 ⇒ × = 396,99 g CO2

(132,33×132÷44=396,99)

     44 g C3H8 ⇒ 72 g H2O

132,33 g  C3H8⇒ × = 216,54 g H2O

(132,33×72÷44= 216,54)
