Answer:

N2H2(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) ----------> N2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 2e

Explanation:

Hydrazine is mostly used in thermal engineering as an anticorrosive agent. Hydrazine can be oxidized in aqueous solution as shown in the equation above. Oxidation has to do with loss of electrons and increase in oxidation number.

The oxidation number of nitrogen in the equation increased from -1 in hydrazine on the lefthand side of the reaction equation to zero in nitrogen on the right hand side of the reaction equation. Two electrons were lost in the process as shown.

The half life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5.73 x 10 years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon-14

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Age of the atifact is $4.2\times 10^{2}$ years

Explanation:

For first -order radioactive decay- $A_{t}=A_{0}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}$
$A_{t}$ represents activity of radioactive nuclide after t time, $A_{0}$ represents initial activity of radioactive nuclide and $t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ represents half-life
Here, $A_{t}=19Bq$ , $A_{0}=20Bq$ and $t_{\frac{1}{2}}=5.73\times 10^{3}years$

Plug-in all the given values in the above equation-

$19=20\times (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{5.73\times 10^{3}}}$

or, $t=4.2\times 10^{2}$

So, age of the atifact is $4.2\times 10^{2}$ years

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

eight oxygen atoms

Explanation:

This formula shows that in one mole of this compound, there are 3 moles of Ca atoms that combine with 2 moles of the PO4(phosphate) groups, which gives a total of 2 moles of P atoms and 8 moles of 0 atoms.
