<h3>Answer:</h3>

81.9 grams

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

From the question we are given;

  • Half-life of C-14 is 5730 years
  • Original mass of C-14 (N₀) = 150 grams
  • Time taken, t = 5000 years

We are required to determine the mass left after 5000 years

  • Using the formula;
  • N = No(1/2)^t/T​, where N is the remaining mass, N₀ is the original mass, t is the time taken and T is the half-life.

   t/T = 5000 yrs ÷ 5730 yrs

    = 0.873

N = 150 g ÷ 0.5^0.873

   = 150 g × 0.546

   = 81.9 g

Therefore, the mass of C-14 left after 5000 yrs is 81.9 g

Q26.<br>When added to 20 cm of 0.5 M sulphuric acid, which substance would give a neutral solution?​
wariber [46]

Answer:

Adding sodium or potassium hydroxide in amounts sufficient to convert all the H2SO4 into Na2SO4 would approximately neutralize the solution. The error would be the result of the imbalance between the basicity of the hydroxide and the acidity of the bisulfate (HSO4) anion. An adjustment in concentration would have to be made to achieve an accurate approximate pH of 7. But then you didn’t ask how much we would need to add.

Explanation:

<em><u>please</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>mark</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>as</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>brainliest</u></em><em><u> </u></em>

Write the equilibrium constant expression for the reaction below.
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Kc = [H₂S]² . [CH₄] / [ H₂O]⁴ . [CS₂]

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant indicates the % of the yield reaction and can shows where the reaction is going to be equilibrated.

It works with molar concentrations on the equilibrium and it does not consider the solids compounds

Kc also can be modified by the time of the reaction.

This reaction is:

CS₂ (g) + 4 H₂O(g) ⇌ CH₄ (g) + 2H₂S (g)

Kc = [H₂S]² . [CH₄] / [ H₂O]⁴ . [CS₂]

When chemicals react with each other which factors decide that a successful reaction has taken place ?
Elodia [21]

The factors that affect the rate of a reaction are:

  • <em>nature of the reactant</em> - when reactants with different chemical composition are exposed to same conditions they would react differently.  For instance, when an acid or base is added on litmus paper, blue litmus paper turns red in presence of acid while red litmus paper turns blue when base is added.
  • <em>surface area</em>- a compound with small pieces spread over a large area will react faster than a big lump of a compound occupying a small area.
  • <em>temperature of reaction</em>- reactants would react faster at high temperatures. this is because they have higher kinetic energy to collide with each other. Hence a plate of food on the table spoils faster than a plate of food in the fridge.
  • <em>concentration</em>- an increase in concentration leads to more molecules available to collide and form products. An example, when you add more of indicator in a solution, the color becomes more clear since more particles react to give more color.
  • <em>presence of a catalyst</em>- a catalyst lowers the activation energy, which means less energy is required to shift reaction in forward direction. In the presence of iron (Fe) a catalyst, nitrogen N₂ and hydrogen H₂ react to produce NH₃
