Answer:

8700

Explanation:

First, do the operations i<em>nside parentheses</em>.

102 900/12 = 8600 2 sfs because of 12

170/1.27 = 130 2 sfs because of trailing 0 in 170

===============

Now, do the addition.

8600

<u> + </u><u>13</u><u>0 </u>

8700

The answer has two significant figures because when adding, you must round your answer to the same "place" as the measurement with its last significant figure furthest to the left.

The last significant figure in 8600 (the 6, in the hundreds place) is further to the left than the last significant figure in 130 (the 3, in the tens place).

We round off to the nearest hundred and get the answer, 8700.

<u>Answer:</u> The tree was burned 16846.4 years ago to make the ancient charcoal

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half life of the reaction = 5715 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{5715yrs}=1.21\times 10^{-4}yrs^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}yr^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = ? yr

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the sample = 100 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process = 13 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.21\times 10^{-4}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{100}{13}\\\\t=16864.4yrs$

Hence, the tree was burned 16846.4 years ago to make the ancient charcoal

PI3Cl2 is a nonpolar molecule. Based on this information, determine the I−P−I bond angle, the Cl−P−Cl bond angle, and the I−P−Cl

alexdok [17]

Answer: Yes I-P-Cl = 90

Explanation:

This is because the angle formed between I-P-Cl is perpendicular hence the angle is 90°

how much heat is released when 70.9g of water at 66C cools to 25C? The specific heat of water is 1 cal/gC

Serga [27]

Answer:

-12162.47 joules (or -12000 joules when accounting for significant figures)

Explanation (btw I used 1 cal as 4.184 joules because SI units are better):

q = m c delta T

q = (70.9) (4.184) (25 - 66)

q = (70.9) (4.184) (-41)

q = -12162.47 joules
