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.

Liquid does not act that a solid. how is it different from a solid and gas?
Wittaler [7]
Unlike solid matter, where particles are tightly packed and slightly vibrating, or gas, where particles go around everywhere and are extremely loose, a liquid has particles that are loosely packed but are still in slight contact with each other. Hope that's good enough

Level 1: 2Sr + 02 > 2Sro
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Sr would be the limiting reactant

5 moles

Explanation:

Since the equation is a balanced equation, the coefficient shows how each substance relates to the other in terms of the number of moles.

Reactants would be those on the left hand side of the arrow, while the products would be found on te right and side of the arrow. In this question, the reactants would be Sr and O₂.

Limiting reactant is the reactant that is insufficient; meaning to say that there is not enough of that substance and thus the reaction cannot continue. The other reactant(s) that is not limiting is called the excess reactants.

From the balanced equation, 2 moles of Sr is needed to react with 1 mole of O₂. Thus, if we have 5 moles of each reactant, Sr would be the limiting reactant since for every 1 mole of O₂, there has to be 2 moles of Sr in order for the reaction to proceed. Thus, if we have 5 moles of O₂, we would need 10 moles of Sr.

When we work out the amount of products formed, we look at the number of moles of the limiting reactant. This is because the limiting reactant determines how much is being reacted, while the excess number of moles of the excess reactant will remain unreacted.

For every 2 moles of Sr reacted, 2 moles of SrO would be produced. This means that the mole ratio of Sr to SrO is 1:1. Thus, since 5 moles of Sr has been reacted, 5 moles of the product (SrO) would be produced.

Concentrated nitric acid is 15.6M and has a density of 1.41g/mL. What is the weight percent of concentrated HNO3?
tankabanditka [31]
Molarity= mol/ liters

since the molarity is given, we can assume that we have 1.0 Liters of solution

15.6 M= mol/ 1 liters---> this means that we have 15.6 moles of HNO3

we need to convert these moles to grams using the molar mass of HNO3

molar mass  HNO3= 1.01 + 14.0 + (3 X 16.0)= 63.01 g/mol

15.6 mol HNO3 (63.01 g/ mol)= 983 grams HNO3

now we have to determine the grams of solution using the assumption of 1 liters of solution and the density

1 liters= 1000 mL

1000 mL (1.41 g/ ml)= 1410 grams solution

mass percent= mass of solute/ mass of solution x 100

mass percent= 63.01/ 1410 x 100= 4.47 %
