Answer:

They can be dated using radioactive carbon. But for rocks older than 50 thousand years they look for layers of igneous rock or volcanic ash above and Bellow the layer of rock/fossil.

Calculate the concentration of vacancies in copper at room temperature (25oC). What temperature will be needed to heat treat cop
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

1) 1.808 *10^8 vacancies per cm^3

2) 101,64ºC

Explanation:

You can use the following equation relating the number of vacancies with the energy required to produce them and the temperature:

n_{v} =Ne^{\frac{-E}{K_{b}*T} }

Where N is the number atoms per unit of volume, you can calculate this number with the density of copper:

8.96 \frac{g}{cm^{3} } *\frac{1 mole copper}{63.54 g } *\frac{6.023*10^{23} atoms }{1 mole} = 8.47*10^{22}atoms

And you can substitute all values in the equation:

n_{v} =8.47*10^{22}atoms*e^{\frac{-20 000 cal}{6.023*10^{23}mol^{-1}*3.297*10^{-24}cal*k^{-1}*298.15K} }=1.808*10^{8}atoms

Now you solve for temperature and and use n as 1000 times the value of before:

T=\frac{-E}{k_{b}ln(n/N)} =\frac{-(2*10^{4}cal)}{(3.297*10^{24}calk^{-1})*ln(1.8083*10^{11}/8.47*10^{22})} =374.79 K = 101.64 C

Example: Sugar (C12H22O11) - Add up the masses of each element. (Look at your periodic table for the masses.)
Leto [7]

Answer:

342.3 g

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

C = 12.011 g/mol

H = 1.00794 g/mol

O = 15.9994 g/mol

Molar mass of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ =?

C = 12 × 12.011 = 144.132 g

H = 22 × 1.00794 = 22.17468 g

O = 11 × 15.9994 = 175.9934 g

Total mass = 144.132 + 22.17468 + 175.9934

Total mass = 342.3 g

What mass of oxygen is needed for the complete combustion of 1.60-10^-3
vekshin1

Answer:

6.4×10¯³ g of O₂.

Explanation:

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

CH₄ + 2O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O

Next, we shall determine the masses of CH₄ and O₂ that reacted from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of CH₄ = 12 + (4×1)

= 12 + 4

= 16 g/mol

Mass of CH₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 16 = 16 g

Molar mass of O₂ = 2 × 16 = 32 g/mol

Mass of O₂ from the balanced equation = 2 × 32 = 64 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

16 g of CH₄ reacted with 64 g of O₂.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of O₂ needed to react with 1.6×10¯³ g of CH₄. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

16 g of CH₄ reacted with 64 g of O₂.

Therefore, 1.6×10¯³ g of CH₄ will react with = (1.6×10¯³ × 64) / 16 = 6.4×10¯³ g of O₂

Thus, 6.4×10¯³ g of O₂ is needed for the reaction.
