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.

17.42 mL of 0.1M NaOH was needed to reach the endpoint in the titration. How many moles of NaOH are in 17.42 mL of 0.1M NaOH
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

0.001742moles

Explanation:

1000ml of NaOH contain 0.1moles

17.42ml of NaOH contain (0.1*17.42)/1000 moles

= 0.001742moles

Which half-reaction correctly represents reduction?
Neko [114]

Answer: B. Ca2+   +  2e- --------->   Ca

Explanation:

Reduction involves the gaining of electrons as well as a decrease in the oxidation state of the atom or ion.

In this case; Ca2+ gains two electrons and the oxidation state is reduced from +2 to  0.

Ca2+   +  2e- --------->   Ca

Choose all of the following mole ratios that are correct for the reaction given below. Be sure to choose all that apply.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

2 moles NH3 = 1 mole of N2

3 moles of H2 = 1 mole of N2

3 moles of H2 = 2 moles of NH3

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

N2 + 3H2 —> 2NH3

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of N2 reacted with 3 moles of H2 to produce 2 moles of NH3.

Thus, we can say that:

1 mole of N2 = 3 moles of H2

1 mole of N2 = 2 moles of NH3

3 moles of H2 = 2 moles of NH3

Thus, considering the options given above, the right answers to the question are:

2 moles NH3 = 1 mole of N2

3 moles of H2 = 1 mole of N2

3 moles of H2 = 2 moles of NH3
