To determine the age of fairly recent fossils and organic artifacts, it is possible to analyze the amounts of the isotopes 14C a

nd 14N, because over time the 14C—which originated in the atmosphere—breaks down into 14N. What net change occurred for this to happen?

Answer: The net change in the atoms is the conversion of a neutron to a proton, turning Carbon (6 protons) into Nitrogen (7 protons).

Explanation:

Carbon-14, generated from the atmosphere, has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. That's where the 14 comes from, called the mass number, is the sum of protons and neutrons (6+8=14).

Carbon-14 is radioactive and decays by beta decay. That means one of its neutrons spontaneously turns into a proton, an electron, and a neutrino, according to:

^{14} C \rightarrow\ ^{14} N\ +\ e^-  +\ neutrino

After that, the atom has 7 protons and 7 neutrons, maintaining its mass number but changing its atomic number from 6 to 7, turning into Nitrogen.

The chemical formula of aspirin is C9H8O4. What is the mass of 0.40 mol<br> of aspirin?​
dybincka [34]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf About \ 72 \ grams }}

Explanation:

To convert from moles to grams, we must use the molar mass (also known as the gram formula mass).

First, look up the molar masses of the elements in the formula.

  • C: 12.011 g/mol
  • H: 1.008 g/mol
  • O: 15.999 g/mol

Next, multiply by the subscript, because it tells us the number of atoms of each element in the formula.

  • C₉: 4(12.011 g/mol)= 108.099 g/mol
  • H₈: 8(1.008 g/mol)= 8.064 g/mol
  • O₄: 4(15.999 g/mol)= 63.996 g/mol

Add the values.

  • 108.099 + 8.064+63.996=180.159 g/mol

Use this molar mass as a ratio.

\frac {180.159 \ g \  C_9H_8O_4}{1 \ mol \ C_9H_8O_4}

Multiply by the given number of moles, 0.40

0.40 \ mol \ C_9H_8O_4 *\frac {180.159 \ g \  C_9H_8O_4}{1 \ mol \ C_9H_8O_4}

The units moles of aspirin cancel.

0.40  *\frac {180.159 \ g \  C_9H_8O_4}{1 }

72.0636 \ g \ C_9H_8O_4

The original number of moles has 2 sig figs (4 and 0), so answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, it is the ones place. The 0 in the tenth place tells us to leave the 2.

3. Discuss the difference between molarity and molality, state the units of each, state the symbol for each, and give an example
dangina [55]

<span>Molality(m) or molal concentration is a measure of concentration and it refers to amount of substance in a specified amount of mass of the solvent. Used unit for molality is mol/kg which is also sometimes denoted as 1 molal. It is equal to the moles of solute (the substance being dissolved) divided by the kilograms of solvent (the substance used to dissolve).</span>

Molarity(M) or molar concentration is also a measure of concentration and represents the amount of substance per unit volume of solution(number of moles per litre of solution. Used unit for molarity is mol/L or M. A solution with a concentration of 1 mol/L is equivalent to 1 molar (1 M).

Molality is preferred when the temperature of the solution varies, because it does not depend on temperature, (neither number of moles of solute nor mass of solvent will be affected by changes of temperature), while molarity changes as temperature changes(volume of solution changes as temperature changes).

Based on the following equation, how many moles of hydrochloric acid (HCl)are needed to react with 0.44 moles of potassium
inysia [295]

Answer:

1.76 moles of HCl.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2KMnO₄ + 8HCl —> 3Cl₂ + 2MnO₂ + 4H₂O + 2KCl

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of KMnO₄ reacted with 8 moles of HCl.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of HCl needed to react with 0.44 moles of KMnO₄. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of KMnO₄ reacted with 8 moles of HCl.

Therefore, 0.44 moles of KMnO₄ will react with = (0.44 × 8)/2 = 1.76 moles of HCl.

Thus, 1.76 moles of HCl is needed for the reaction.

A 100 ml graduated cylinder with an inside diameter of 3.2 cm contains 34.0 g of gasoline and 34.0 g of water. what is the combi
Ivahew [28]

The volume of cylinder is 100 mL, inner diameter is 3.2 cm thus, radius will be:

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{3.2 cm}{2}=1.6 cm

Volume of layer formed=\pi r^{2}h...... (1)

Volume of layer is also equal to sum of volume of gasoline and water.

Density of gasoline is 0.702 g/cm^{3} and mass is 34 g thus, volume of gasoline will be:

V=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{34 g}{0.702 g/cm^{3}}=48.43 cm^{3}

Now, density of water is 1 g/cm^{3} and mass is 34 g thus, volume of water will be:

V=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{34 g}{1 g/cm^{3}}=34 cm^{3}

Adding both the volumes, volume of layer will be:

Volume of layer=48.43 cm^{3}+34 cm^{3}=82.43cm^{3}

Putting the values in equation (1) to solve for height of the layer,

h=\frac{volume of layer}{\pi r^{2}}=\frac{82.43 cm^{3}}{3.14\times 1.6 cm\times 1.6 cm}=10.25 cm

Thus, height of layer is 10.25 cm
