Carbon 14 dating? is that one of your choices

NeX [460]3 years ago

Answer:

Radiocarbon dating

Explanation:

The radiocarbon dating method is used in order to determine the age of an object (fossil) by using the unstable radioactive Carbon isotopes. It is very widely used and is efficient for dating objects that are of very recent age.

The half life of Carbon-14 is approximately 5700 years. The half life is defined as the time required to decay half of its original composition. The carbon-14 is an unstable element and after it is completely decayed, it turns into Nitrogen-14, which is a stable element.

A mixture of oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen exerts a total pressure of 378 kPa. If the partial pressures of oxygen and hydrogen

sertanlavr [38]

What's the relationship between total and partial pressure? The total pressure is the sum of the parcial pressures!

So for us, it would be:

378= 212+101+x

where x is the parcial pressure of nitrogen.

Now we count:
378= 212+101+x
378=313+x
378-313=x
65=x

So the parcial pressure exerted by nitrogen is 65!

In a physical change, the _____ does not change.

Ksivusya [100]

Physical changes occur when objects or substances undergo a change that does not change their chemical composition. This contrasts with the concept of chemical change in which the composition of a substance changes or one or more substances combine or break up to form new substances.

The polymer formed from the monomer ch2=ch–cn is select one:

podryga [215]

Answer:
None of the given options show polymer made up of H₂C=CH-CN (Acrylonitrile).

Explanation:
Acrylonitrile (H₂C=CH-CN) which is a monomer on self linkage results in a large chain polymer called as Polyacrylonitrile.
The structure of Polyacrylonitrile is as follow,

--(H₂C-CHCN-)n--

Where n shows the number of Acrylonitrile units joined together in the formation of Polyacrylonitrile. This polymerization reaction can take place by different mechanisms including free radical mechanism, acid catalyzed addition or base catalyzed addition reaction.

The polymerization is shown below,

21 mL It required 42.35 mL of H2SO4 to neutralize 21.17 mL of 0.5000 M NaOH. Calculate the concentration of H2SO4

bija089 [108]

The balanced equation for the above reaction is
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of NaOH to H₂SO₄ is 2:1
number of NaOH moles required-0.5000 M / 1000 mL/L x 21.17 mL = 0.010585 mol
According to stoichiometry, acid moles required are 1/2 of the base moles reacted
Therefore number of H₂SO₄ moles reacted - 0.010585 /2 mol
Number of moles in 42.35 mL of H₂SO₄ - 0.010585 /2 mol
Therefore in 1 L solution - (0.010585) /2 / 42.35 mL x 1000 mL/L = 0.125 M
Molarity of H₂SO₄ - 0.125 M

What do the elements within a "period" have in common? (pick one)

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals. For example, every element in the top row (the first period) has one orbital for its electrons. All of the elements in the second row (the second period) have two orbitals for their electrons.
