In is a lot easier because it uses 10s.

The metric system is broken down into smaller measurements it's also based on 10. It's easier for us humans and scientists.

Hope I helped! :)

In a percentage composition investigation a compound was decomposed into its elements: 20.0 g of calcium, 6.0 g of carbon, and 2

inysia [295]

The percentage composition of this compound : 40%Ca, 12%C and 48%O

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

20.0 g of calcium,

6.0 g of carbon,

and 24.0 g of oxygen.

Required

The percentage composition

Solution

Total mass of compound :

=mass calcium + mass carbon + mass oxygen

=20 g + 6 g + 24 g

=50 g

Percentage composition :

Ca-calcium

$\tt \dfrac{20}{50}\times 100\%=40\%$

C-carbon

$\tt \dfrac{6}{50}\times 100\%=12\%$

O-oxygen

$\tt \dfrac{24}{50}\times 100\%=48\%$

How many moles are in 7.46 x 1025 particles of iron

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

1 mole of iron =6.023×10^23 particles

1 particles of iron=1/6.023×10^23 mole

7.46×10^25 particles =1/6.023×10^23×7.46×10^25

=1.238×10^48 mole is a required answer.

What is the age of mummified primate skin that contains 8.25% of the original quantity of 14C?

rjkz [21]

Answer:

20619.4793 years

Explanation:

The half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

The formula for the half life for a first order kinetic reaction is:

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

Where,

$t_{1/2}$ is the half life

k is the rate constant.

Thus rate constant is:

5730 years=ln(2)/k

k = 1.21×10⁻⁴ years ⁻¹

Using integrated rate law as:

$ln\ \frac {A_t}{A_0}=-k\times t$

Where,

$A_t$ is the concentration at time t

$A_0$ is the initial concentration

Given that the final concentration contains 8.25 % of the original quantity which means that:

$\frac {A_t}{A_0}=0.0825$

So,

ln(.0825)= -1.21×10⁻⁴×t

<u> t = 20619.4793 years</u>

At what temperature (°C) will a 10.00 g sample of neon gas exert a pressure of 96.7 kPa in a

Eva8 [605]

Answer : The temperature of neon gas will be, 221.0 K

Explanation :

To calculate the temperature of neon gas we are using ideal gas equation.

$PV=nRT\\\\PV=\frac{w}{M}RT$

where,

P = pressure of neon gas = 96.7 kPa = 0.955 atm

Conversion used : (1 atm = 101.3 kPa)

V = volume of neon gas = 9.50 L

T = temperature of neon gas = ?

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

w = mass of neon gas = 10.00 g

M = molar mass of neon gas = 20 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

$(0.955atm)\times (9.50L)=\frac{10.00g}{20g/mole}\times (0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times T$

$T=221.0K$

Therefore, the temperature of neon gas will be, 221.0 K
