A sample of carbon of mass 250 mg from wood found in a tomb underwent 2480 carbon- 14 disintegrations in 20 h. Estimate the time

since death: assuming the modern sample underwent 1.84 times 10^4 disintegrations in the same time period.

5 0

Explanation:

Let the age to be found in years is y.

Hence,       (2480 disintegrations) \times \frac{\frac{1.0g}{0.250g}}{1.84 \times 10^{4} disintegrations}

                        = (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{y}{5730yr}}

Solve for y as follows.

                    0.53913 = (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{y}{5730yr}}

Now, taking log on both the sides as follows

               log 0.53913 = (\frac{z}{5730}) log \frac{1}{2}


               \frac{log 0.53913}{log (1/2)} = \frac{z}{5730}

                       z = \frac{5730 \times log 0.53913}{log (1/2)}

                         = 5107 years

Thus, we can conclude that the time since death is 5107 years.

For the reaction 2 NO(g) + 2 H2(g) => N2(g) + 2 H2O(g) the following data were collected. What is the rate law for this react
harkovskaia [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The rate law expression for the given reaction is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

2NO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

Rate law expression for the reaction:

\text{Rate}=k[NO]^2[H_2]^2

Hence, the rate law expression for the given reaction is written above.

Please help me #6!!!!!!!!
Vesnalui [34]
I believe that the answer is 12 because there is already 3 O molecules and since its in parentheses with 3 outside it that means that there are 3 of those CO molecules meaning that for every 1 CO there will be 3 O’s so 3, four times Is 12

The answer to the question?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

atomic particles

The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).
