How does carbon 14 work

Chemistry
1 answer:
Verdich [7]3 years ago
6 0

Carbon-14 dating is a way of determining the age of certain archeological artifacts of a biological origin up to about 50,000 years old. It is used in dating things such as bone, cloth, wood and plant fibers that were created in the relatively recent past by human activities.

Acetylene, C2H2, can be converted to ethane, C2H6, by a process known as hydrogenation. The reaction is C2H2(g) + 2H2(g) ⇌ C2H6(
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

-255.4 kJ

Explanation:

The free energy of a reversible reaction can be calculated by:

ΔG = (ΔG° + RTlnQ)*n

Where R is the gas constant (8.314x10⁻³ kJ/mol.K), T is the temperature in K, n is the number of moles of the products (n =1), and Q is the reaction quotient, which is calculated based on the multiplication of partial pressures by the partial pressure of the products elevated by their coefficient divide by the multiplication of the partial pressure of the reactants elevated by their coefficients.

C₂H₂(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇄ C₂H₆(g)

Q = pC₂H₆/[pC₂H₂ * (pH₂)²]

Q = 0.261/[8.58*(3.06)²]

Q = 3.2487x10⁻³

ΔG = -241.2 + 8.314x10⁻³x298*ln(3.2487x10⁻³)

ΔG = -255.4 kJ

Current is applied to a molten mixture of AgF , FeCl2 , and AlBr3 . What is produced at each electrode? STRATEGY Rank the cation
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Cathode: Ag

Anode: Br₂

Explanation:

In the cathode must occur a reduction, so it's more likely to a metal atom be in the cathode. For the metals given the reduction reactions and the potential of reduction are:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇒ Ag⁰ E° = + 0.80 V

Fe⁺² + 2e⁻ ⇒ Fe⁰ E° = - 0.44 V

Al⁺³ + 3e⁻ ⇒ Al⁰ E° = -1.66 V

As the potential for Ag is the higher, the reduction will occur for it first, so in the cathode will produce Ag.

For the anode an oxidation must occurs, so the reactions for the nonmetals are:

F₂ + 2e⁻ ⇒ 2F⁻ E° = +2.87 V

Cl₂ + 2e⁻ ⇒ 2Cl⁻ E° = +1.36 V

Br₂ + 2e⁻ ⇒ 2Br⁻ E° = +1.07 V

For oxidation, the less the E°, the faster the reaction will occur, so Br₂ will be formed in the anode.

Silicon carbide, an abrasive, is made by the reaction of silicon dioxide with graphite. SiO2 +3C SiC + 2CO If 2 moles of SiO2 re
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer : The limiting reactant is, carbon (C)

Explanation : Given,

Moles of SiO_2 = 2 moles

Moles of C = 5 moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The given balanced chemical reaction is:

SiO_2+3C\rightarrow SiC+2CO

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 3 mole of C react with 1 mole of SiO_2

So, 5 moles of C react with \frac{5}{3}=1.67 moles of SiO_2

From this we conclude that, SiO_2 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and C is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Thus, the limiting reactant is, carbon (C)
