<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

What is the concentration of bromide, in ppm, if 12.41 g MgBr2 is dissolved in 2.55 L water.
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

concentration of bromide (Br⁻) = 4234 mg/L = 4234 ppm

Explanation:

ppm (parts per million) concentration is defined as the mass (in milligrams) of a substance dissolved in one liter of solution.

In our case we have:

mass of MgBr₂ = 12.41 g

volume of water (which is equal to the final solution volume) = 2.55 L

Now we devise the following reasoning:

if         12.41 g of MgBr₂ are dissolved in 2.55 L of water

then         X g of MgBr₂ are dissolved in 1 L of water

X = (1 × 12.41) / 2.55 = 4.867 g of MgBr₂

if in         184 g (1 mole) of MgBr₂ we have 160 g of Br⁻

then in   4.867 g of MgBr₂ we have Y g of Br⁻

Y = (4.867 × 160) / 184 = 4.232 g of bromide (Br⁻)

4.232 g of bromide (Br⁻) = 4234 mg of bromide (Br⁻)

concentration of bromide (Br⁻) = 4234 mg/L = 4234 ppm

Gold is formed in pure state in nature but not iron,why?​
ss7ja [257]

Gold is found in pure state in nature but not the iron because gold is un-reactive metal, so it does not react with other element in normal condition but iron is reactive metal so it reacts with atmospheric oxygen in presence of moist (water) to form oxide.

I hope it'll help you.
