Answer:

756.6 years.

Explanation:

Carbon dating is the process of measuring carbon - 13 of a dead object or substance in order to determine the age of the object or substance. This question is about radionuclide dating. The number of nuclei in a radioactive substance disintegrate in a decreasing exponentially manner with time.

In order to determine the age of the North Cascades we will be using the formula below;

Age, t= 1/ λ × [ ln (1 + Dt/pt). ---------(1).

Also, λ = ln 2/ t(1/2).

Where t(1/2) is the half life, Dt and pt are the numbers of daughter atoms and the numbers of parent atoms respectively. The assumption is that there are no daughter atoms initially at time, t= 0 and daughter atoms are due to the parent atoms decay.

Hence, λ = ln 2 / 10.= 0.69315/10 = 0.07 yr^-.

So, using equation (1) above we will have;

Age,t = 1/ 0.07 [ ln (1 + 3.93 × 10^11/ 4.15 × 10^12) ].

Age, t = 14.3 [ ln (1 + 9.5 ×10^22)].

Age, t= 14.3 × 52.91.

Age,t = 756.6 years

In the balanced molecular equation for the neutralization of sodium hydroxide with sulfuric acid, the products are:
earnstyle [38]

The balanced molecular equation for the neutralization of sodium hydroxide with sulfuric acid is:

Sodium hydroxide + Sulfuric acid →  Sodium sulfate +water

<h3>What is the balanced molecular equation?</h3>

A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products. In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction.

In the given reaction, the reactants have been sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide. Thus, these are written on the left side of the right arrow. The sodium sulfate and water have been the products and written on the right side of the right arrow.

The balanced molecular equation for the neutralization of sodium hydroxide with sulfuric acid is:

Sodium hydroxide + Sulfuric acid →  Sodium sulfate +water

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

P_4_{(I)}+5O_2_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow +4H_3PO_4_{(l)}

Explanation:

The first step is:

P_4_{(I)}+5O_2_{(g)}\rightarrow 2P_2O_5_{(g)}

Second step is:

P_2O_5_{(g)}+3H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow 2H_3PO_4_{(l)}

Multiplying second step by 2, and adding both the steps, we get that:

P_4_{(I)}+5O_2_{(g)}+2P_2O_5_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow 2P_2O_5_{(g)}+4H_3PO_4_{(l)}

Cancelling common species, we get that:

P_4_{(l)}+5O_2_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow +4H_3PO_4_{(l)}

A gas sample has a temperature of 19 °C with an unknown volume. The
andreev551 [17]

Answer: 373 mL

Explanation:

Since there is no change in pressure, the formula: V / T = V / T can be used.

However, you must first convert the temperatures to Kelvin by adding 273 to them:

(19 + 273) = 292K and (90 + 273) = 363K.

Now, plug in: V / 292 = 464 / 363 → V = 373 mL :)

Find the force of gravity of 1000 kg car.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The force of gravity acting on the car is <u>9800 N vertically downward.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car given is 1000 kg.

We know that the force of gravity is the force applied by the center of Earth on any body. The force of gravity is also called the weight of the body and always act towards the center of the Earth.

From Newton's second law, we know that the force acting on a body is equal to its mass and acceleration.

Here, the acceleration acting on the car is due to gravity and thus has a constant value of 9.8 m/s² on the surface of Earth.

Therefore, the force of gravity acting on the car is given using the Newton's second law as:

Force of gravity = Mass of car \times Acceleration due to gravity.

Force of gravity = (1000 kg) \times (9.8 m/s²)

Force of gravity = 9800 N          [1 kg.m/s² = 1 N]

Therefore, the force of gravity acting on the car is 9800 N vertically downward.
