<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

33.23 grams of a thin sheet of iron is completely oxidized in 7 days. How would you express the rate of conversion of the silver
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

A. 0.0440 moles/day

Explanation:

First, let's figure out how many moles 33.23 grams of silver is. We do this by dividing the number of grams by the molar mass of silver, which is 107.87 g/mol:

33.23 g Ag ÷ 107.87 g/mol = 0.3081 mol Ag

Now, let's divide this by 7 to get the rate per day:

0.3081 mol Ag ÷ 7 days = 0.0440 mol/day

Thus, the answer is A.

Which factors affect a river's load?
Marizza181 [45]
To answer the question that is: "which factors affect a river's load", we have to understand that all the things mentioned are important. All these options (river's slope, streambed shape and volume of flow) affect the amount of energy that the river has to spend and the way the river spend that energy, so, it is right to mark the alternative <span>d) all of the above.</span>

Describe how hydrogen and oxygen form water.
bekas [8.4K]
Hydrogen and Oxygen by themselves have 1 and 6 valence electrons, respectively. 8 valence electrons is stable, so the atoms form bonds with each other to achieve 8 valence e-.

1 H atom + 1 H atom + 1 O atom = 8 valence e-
