Answer is: 12,6% (1/8) <span>percentage of the sample will remain.
</span>c₀ - initial amount of C-14.<span>
c - amount of C-14 remaining at time.
t = 5700</span> y.<span>
First calculate the radioactive decay rate constant λ:
λ = 0,693 ÷ t = 0,693 ÷ 5700</span> y = 0,000121 1/y = 1,21·10⁻⁴ y.
c = c₀·e∧-λ·t.
c = 2000 · e∧-(0,000121 1/y · 17100 y).
c = 252 g.
ω = 252 g ÷ 2000 g = 0,126 = 12,6%.

2. Why is the lonic compound Nacl (table salt) able to dissolve in a glass of the molecular compound water (H20)? (3 points)
melomori [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is C ions from the solute molecules have a strong attraction to the polar solvent molecules.

Explanation:

NaCl or Sodium chloride is an ionic compound which easily get dissolved in polar molecular compound such as water(H2O).

      Both NaCl and H2O are polar compound because the atoms that forms NaCl and H2O have vast difference in their electronegativities.As a result the bonding electrons in both NaCl and H2O are not equally shared.

     NaCl get dissolved in water molecules by dipole dipole interaction.

Balance the following equation:<br> K+ H2O + H2 + KOH
alex41 [277]

Answer:

2K + 2H2O → H2 + 2KOH

Explanation:

Find how many atoms you have on both sides then add 2 to both sides.

Reactant:       Products:

K: 1+1=2                K: 1+1=2

H: 2+2=4             H: 3+1=4

O: 1+1=2                O: 1+1=2

Therefore it is balanced. Hope this helps

A bacteria culture begins with 15 bacteria which double in amount at the end of every hour. Solve for the number of bacteria tha
pshichka [43]
The number of bacteria is given by:
N(t) = N(o) x 2ⁿ
Where N(t) is the number after n hours have passed and N(o) is the original number which is 15.
The number grown in the 12th hour is the difference in the number after the 11th and the 12th hour. Thus:
15 x 2¹² - 15 x 2¹¹
= 30,720 bacteria
