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.

Problem Page Liquid hexane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 70. g of

shusha [124]

Answer:

The maximum mass of carbon dioxide that could be produced by the chemical reaction is 70.6gCO_{2}

Explanation:

1. Write down the balanced chemical reaction:

$2C_{6}H_{14}_{(l)}+19O_{2}_{(g)}=12CO_{2}_{(g)}+14H_{2}O_{(g)}$

2. Find the limiting reagent:

- First calculate the number of moles of hexane and oxygen with the mass given by the problem.

For the hexane:

$70.0gC_{6}H_{14}*\frac{1molC_{6}H_{14}}{86.2gC_{6}H_{14}}=0.81molesC_{6}H_{14}$

For the oxygen:

$81.3gO_{2}*\frac{1molO_{2}}{32.0gO_{2}}=2.54molesO_{2}$

- Then divide the number of moles between the stoichiometric coefficient:

For the hexane:

$\frac{0.81}{2}=0.41$

For the oxygen:

$\frac{2.54}{19}=0.13$

- As the fraction for the oxygen is the smallest, the oxygen is the limiting reagent.

3. Calculate the maximum mass of carbon dioxide that could be produced by the chemical reaction:

The calculations must be done with the limiting reagent, that is the oxygen.

$81.3gO_{2}*\frac{1molO_{2}}{32gO_{2}}*\frac{12molesCO_{2}}{19molesO_{2}}*\frac{44.0gCO_{2}}{1molCO_{2}}=70.6gCO_{2}$
