Answer is: A. the rate of decay for certain isotopes.

For example, radiocarbon dating is called Carbon-14 dating.

Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon, with a half-life of 5730 years.

Carbon bound in fossil fuels has different isotopes than carbon in atmosphere. Fossil fuels are underground and cosmic rays do not affect carbon in them same as atmosphere carbon. Carbon in fossil fuels that is underground longer than ten thousand years has only C-12 isotope and not C-14.

Putting rock salt on the roads during a snowstorm is an example of: A. Boiling point elevation B. Vapor pressure raising C. Vapo
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The correct answer is - D. Freezing point depression.

Explanation:

When rock salt is spread over snow-covered icy roads, it generates a liquid layer over it by melting from the surface thereby lowering or depression in the freezing point below the ice.

Therefore, due to this liquid layer comes into the contact with the ice present on the road and causes other ice to melts. This keeps on decreasing the volume of the ice on the road therefore, rock salts spread on the roads during a snowstorm.

How many mole of ZnCl2 will be produced from 55.0 g of Zn, assuming HCL is available in excess
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

0.84 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles  of ZnCl₂ produced = ?

Mass of Zn = 55.0 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2HCl + Zn  →  ZnCl₂ + H₂

Number of moles of Zn:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 55.0 g/ 65.38 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.84 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Zn with ZnCl₂ from balance chemical equation.

                                      Zn          :             ZnCl₂

                                         1          :               1

                                      0.84       :           0.84

So from 55 g of Zn 0.84 moles of zinc chloride will be produced.

wo reactions and their equilibrium constants are given. A + 2 B − ⇀ ↽ − 2 C K 1 = 2.57 2 C − ⇀ ↽ − D K 2 = 0.226 A+2B↽−−⇀2CK1=2.
Papessa [141]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of equilibrium constant for the net reaction is 11.37

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical equations follows:

<u>Equation 1:</u>  A+2B\xrightarrow[]{K_1} 2C

<u>Equation 2:</u>  2C\xrightarrow[]{K_2} D

The net equation follows:

D\xrightarrow[]{K} A+2B

As, the net reaction is the result of the addition of first equation and the reverse of second equation. So, the equilibrium constant for the net reaction will be the multiplication of first equilibrium constant and the inverse of second equilibrium constant.

The value of equilibrium constant for net reaction is:

K=K_1\times \frac{1}{K_2}

We are given:

K_1=2.57

K_2=0.226

Putting values in above equation, we get:

K=2.57\times \frac{1}{0.226}=11.37

Hence, the value of equilibrium constant for the net reaction is 11.37

A cup has a mixture of iron filings, sand, and salt. How could you separate theses 3 materials? Write out the procedures you wou
Anarel [89]

Explanation:

A cup of mixtures of iron fillings, sand and salt is a mixture who constituents are in the same phase i.e solid.

To separate them out we use the physical properties of the substances.

  • First spread out the mixture uniformly over a piece of paper or on the table.
  • Pass a bar magnet over it.
  • The iron fillings will become attracted to the magnet and separate from the mixture.
  • then pour water into the mixture of sand and salt
  • the salt will dissolve since sand is made up of quartz which are highly insoluble.
  • separate the water solution. Evaporate to dryness and recover the salt.
  • the sand is left behind and dried.
