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.

What is the maximum number of moles of N-acetyl-p-toluidine can be prepared from 70. milliliters of 0.167 M p-toluidine hydrochl

Kitty [74]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{0.012 mol}}$

Explanation:

We will need a balanced equation with moles, so let's gather all the information in one place.

CH₃C₆H₄NH₂·HCl + (CH₃CO)₂O ⟶ CH₃C₆H₄NHCOCH₃ + junk

V/mL: 70.

c/mol·L⁻¹: 0.167

For simplicity in writing , let's call p-toluidine hydrochloride A and N-acetyl-<em>p</em>-toluidine B.

The equation is then

A + Ac₂O ⟶ B + junk

1. Moles of A

$\text{Moles of A} = \text{70. mL A}\times \dfrac{\text{0.167 mmol A}}{\text{1 mL A}}= \text{12 mmol A}$

2. Moles of B

The molar ratio is 1 mol B:1 mol A

Moles of B = moles of A = 12 mmol = 0.012 mol

$\text{You can prepare $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.012 mol}}$ of N-acetyl-p-toluidine. }$
