Radio active decay reactions follow first order rate kinetics.
a) The half life and decay constant for radio active decay reactions are related by the equation:
Where k is the decay constant
b) Finding out the decay constant for the decay of C-14 isotope:
c) Finding the age of the sample :
35 % of the radiocarbon is present currently.
The first order rate equation is,
![[A] = [A_{0}]e^{-kt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5BA%5D%20%3D%20%5BA_%7B0%7D%5De%5E%7B-kt%7D%20%20%20)
![\frac{[A]}{[A_{0}]} = e^{-kt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5D%7D%7B%5BA_%7B0%7D%5D%7D%20%3D%20e%5E%7B-kt%7D%20%20)
t = 7923 years
Therefore, age of the sample is 7923 years.
Answer:
Weak acid and base solutions contain multiple charged and uncharged species in dynamic equilibrium. Strong acids and strong bases refer to species that completely dissociate to form ions in solution.

Answer:
I have no clue what is being asked in the second half of the question. Is there some context from which the question is taken?
Explanation:
If the temperature of the water an ice cube is placed in is <u>___above 0°C__</u>, then the ice cube will melt <u>_unless you remove it??_________</u>.
The answer to the question
stated above is:
<span> Gas is easily compressible because the molecules of a gas are much further apart than
those of a solid.</span>
characteristic properties of gases:
(1) they are easy to compress,
(2) they expand to fill their containers, and
(3) they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids
from which they form.
The balanced chemical reaction is:
<span>CuCl2 + 2Na → 2NaCl + Cu
We are given the amount of sodium to be used up in the reaction. This will be the starting point for our calculations.
15 g Na ( 1 mol / 22.99 ) ( 1 mol Cul2 / 2 mol Na ) (134.45 g / 1 mol ) = 43.86 g CuCl2 needed to be able to obtain the maximum amount of copper.</span>
