A researcher claims that an ancient scroll originated from greek scholars in about 500 bce. a measure of its carbon-14 decay rat

e gives a value that is 89% of that found in living organisms. how old is the scroll? (the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 yr.) express the time in years as an integer.

The amount of substance present in a certain object with a given half-life in terms of h can be expressed through the equation,

     A(t) = (A(o))(0.5)^(t/h)

where A(t) is the amount of substance after t years and A(o) is the original amount. In this item we are given that A(t)/A(o) is equal to 0.89. Substituting the known values,

     0.89 = (0.5)(t / 5730 years)

The value of t from the equation is 963.34 years.

<em>Answer: 963 years</em>

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

a)  After the balloon inflated after 440 uL of dropwise due to the reaction of 1-Decene and the solution in the conical vial. b) 4NaBH_{4} + 2HCl + 7H_{2}O ⇒ 16H_{2(g)}+ 2NaCl + Na_{2}B_{4}O_{7} c) No H_{2} was not the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Generally, hydrogenation is the chemical reaction between a compound or element and molecular hydrogen in the presence of catalysts such as platinum.

a) After the balloon inflated after 440 uL of dropwise 1-Decene solution was added due to the reaction between 1-Decene and the solution in the conical vial.

b)  4NaBH_{4} + 2HCl + 7H_{2}O ⇒ 16H_{2(g)}+ 2NaCl + Na_{2}B_{4}O_{7}

c) H_{2} was not the limiting reactant based on the mol to mol ratio of H_{2} and decane which is 1:1. Therefore, if 0.8 mol of decane was produced then 0.8 mol of H_{2} would also be produced.

We have a sample of water vapor which cools from 150 °C to 125 °C. What happens to the motion of the molecules during this time
pentagon [3]

The motion of the molecules decreases.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Gases are formed when the energy in a system overcomes the attractive forces between the molecules. The gases expand to fill the space they occupy. In this way, the gas molecules interact little. In the gaseous state, the molecules move very quickly. As the temperature decreases, the amount of movement of the individual molecules also decreases.
  • The fast-moving particle slows down. When a particle speeds up, it has more kinetic energy. When a particle slows down, it has less kinetic energy. The particles in solid form are commonly connected through electrostatic powers. They don't get enough space to move around, therefore, their speed diminishes, they can't keep their standard speed like in the vaporous or fluid state.

A solute is a strong electrolyte that ionizes into 2 ions. What is the molar mass of this solute if 30.76 grams added to exactly
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

34.9 g/mol is the molar mass for this solute

Explanation:

Formula for boiling point elevation: ΔT = Kb . m . i

ΔT = Temperatures 's difference between pure solvent and solution → 0.899°C

Kb = Ebullioscopic constant → 0.511°C/m

m = molality (moles of solute/1kg of solvent)

i = 2 → The solute is a strong electrolyte that ionizes into 2 ions

For example: AB ⇒ A⁺  +  B⁻

Let's replace → 0.899°C = 0.511 °C/m . m . 2

0.899°C / 0.511 m/°C . 2 = m → 0.879 molal

This moles corresponds to 1 kg of solvent. Let's determine the molar mass

Molar mass (g/mol) → 30.76 g / 0.879 mol = 34.9 g/mol
