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.

The equation for the synthesis of ammonia is below. How many moles of H 2 are
kkurt [141]

Moles of H₂ are needed to produce 9.33 moles of NH₃ : 13.995

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.

The reaction coefficient in a chemical equation shows the mole ratio of the reactants and products

Reaction for the synthesis of ammonia :

N₂+3H₂⇒2NH₃

moles of NH₃ = 9.33

From equation, mol ratio of H₂ : NH₃ = 3 : 2, so mol H₂ :

\tt =\dfrac{3}{2}\times 9.33\\\\=13.995

Potassium chloride dissolved in pure water is an
postnew [5]

Answer:

A) An ionic compound dissolved in a polar solvent

Explanation:

Potassium Chloride's chemical formula is KCl. Most ionic compounds are formed between a nonmetal and a metal. In this case, potassium is acting as the metal and chloride is the nonmetal. Water is a polar solvent due to the electronegativity of the oxygen in the molecule creating a partial negative pole, leaving the hydrogen atoms partially positive. Hence, A is your best answer.

If I helped, a brainliest would be greatly appreciated!

given that 32.0g sulphur contains 6.02×10^23 sulphur atoms,how many atoms are there in 2.70g of aluminum​
dangina [55]

Answer:

6.022 × 10²² atoms

Explanation:

Generally 1 mol of any element contains 6.02×10^23  atoms. The number 6.022 × 10²³ is known as Avogadro's number.

Mass of Aluminium = 2.70g

Molar mass = 27g/mol

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass = 2.70 / 27 = 0.1 mol

1 mol =  6.022 × 10²³

0.1 mol = x

x = 6.022 × 10²³ * 0.1 = 6.022 × 10²² atoms

An atom has the following electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4 . How many valence electrons does this Atom have
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

This atom is sulfur (if the electrons are equal to the protons/not an ion). You can tell the number of valence electrons by looking at the individual shell. The first shell (1s) can only hold 2 electrons. The second shell (2s and 2p) can hold 8 electrons. The third shell (3s and 3p), which is the valence shell, only has 6 out of its possible 8 electrons, so this atom has 6 valence electrons.
