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>

klemol [59]

<u>Answer:</u> The percentage yield of aspirin is 38.02 %.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

  • <u>For salicylic acid:</u>

Given mass of salicylic acid (C_7H_6O_3) = 10.09 g

Molar mass of salicylic acid (C_7H_6O_3) = 138.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{10.09g}{138.12g/mol}=0.0730mol

The chemical equation for the formation of aspirin follows:

C_7H_6O_3+C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+CH_3COOH

As, acetic anhydride is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, salicylic acid is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid produces 1 mole of aspirin.

So, 0.0730 moles of salicylic acid will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0730=0.0730mol of aspirin

Now, calculating the mass of aspirin from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g/mol

Moles of aspirin = 0.073 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.073mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aspirin}}{180.16g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aspirin}=13.15g

To calculate the percentage yield of aspirin, we use the equation:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Experimental yield of aspirin = 5.0 g

Theoretical yield of aspirin = 13.15 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ yield of aspirin}=\frac{5.0g}{13.15g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of aspirin}=38.02\%

Hence, the percent yield of aspirin is 38.01 %.

You have 8 moles of a gas at 250 K in a 6 L container. What is the pressure of the gas? Show your work
Bogdan [553]

Hello:

In this case, we will use the Clapeyron equation:

P = ?

n = 8 moles

T = 250 K

R = 0.082 atm.L/mol.K

V = 6 L

Therefore:

P * V = n *  R * T

P * 6 = 8 * 0.082* 250

P* 6 = 164

P = 164 / 6

P = 27.33 atm


Hope that helps!

A 250.0-ml sample of ammonia, nh3 (g), exerts a pressure of 833 torr at 42.4 °c. what mass of ammonia is in the container
Lelu [443]
To solve this, let's assume ideal gas behavior.

PV=nRT
Let's solve for n. Convert units to SI units first.

Pressure = 833 torr(101325 Pa/760 torr) = 111,057.53 Pa
Volume = 250 mL(1 L/1000 mL)(1 m³/1000 L) = 2.5×10⁻⁴ m³
Temperature = 42.4 + 273 = 315.4 K

n = (8,314 J/mol·K)(315.4 K)/(111057.53 Pa)(2.5×10⁻⁴ m³)
n = 94.45 mol

The molar mass of ammonia is 17.031 g/mol.
Mass = 94.45*17.031 = <em>1,608.51 g ammonia</em>
