An archaeologist discovered some charcoal at an excavation site. He sent the samples to a lab for C-14 dating, knowing that the

half-life of C-14 is approximately 5,600 years. The lab reported that the charcoal had 1/8 the amount of C-14 in it that a living sample would have. How many years old
was the charcoal?
A. 700 years
B. 1,867 years
C. 8,400 years
D. 16,800 years
E. 44,800 years

The work function of an element is the energy required to remove an electron from the surface of the solid. The work function fo
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

λ = 2.38 × 10^(-7) m

Explanation:

We are given the work function for palladium as 503.7 kJ/mol.

Now let's convert this to KJ/electron.

We know from avogadro's number that;

1 mole of electron = 6.022 × 10^(23) electrons

Thus,

503.7 kJ/mol = 503.7 × 1/(6.022 × 10^(23)) = 8.364 × 10^(-22) KJ/electron = 8.364 × 10^(-19) J/electron

Formula for energy of a photon is;

E = hv

Where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 × 10^(-34) J.s

v is velocity

Now, v = c/λ

Where;

c is speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s

λ is wavelength of light.

Thus;

E = hc/λ

Making λ the subject, we have;

λ = hc/E

λ = (6.626 × 10^(-34) × 3 × 10^(8))/(8.364 × 10^(-19))

λ = 2.38 × 10^(-7) m

Balance the following chemical reaction: _NaOH + _H2SO4 ----->_Na2SO4 +_H20
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Sodium Hydroxide + Sulfuric Acid = Sodium Sulfate + Water

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Explanation:

To balance a chemical equation, enter an equation of a chemical reaction and press the Balance button. The balanced equation will appear above.

Use uppercase for the first character in the element and lowercase for the second character. Examples: Fe, Au, Co, Br, C, O, N, F.

Ionic charges are not yet supported and will be ignored.

Replace immutable groups in compounds to avoid ambiguity. For example, C6H5C2H5 + O2 = C6H5OH + CO2 + H2O will not be balanced, but XC2H5 + O2 = XOH + CO2 + H2O will.

Compound states [like (s) (aq) or (g)] are not required.

You can use parenthesis () or brackets [].
