Answer:

There is 5.56 g of gold for every 1 g of chlorine

Explanation:

The question is to determine the simplest mass ratio of gold to Chlorine in the compound.

Since the mass of gold in the compound compared to chlorine is 15.39 g for every 2.77 g, the mass of gold per gram of chlorine is given as:

15.39 / 2.77 = 5.56 g of gold to two decimal places

<em>Therefore, for every 5.56 g of gold, there is 1 g of chlorine.</em>

<em>Note : The ratio in which different elements combine by mass to form a compound is given by the law of constant composition which states that, "all pure samples of a particular chemical compound contain the same elements combined in the same proportion by mass.</em>

<u>Answer:</u> The tree was burned 16846.4 years ago to make the ancient charcoal

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

where,

t_{1/2} = half life of the reaction = 5715 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{0.693}{5715yrs}=1.21\times 10^{-4}yrs^{-1}

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}yr^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process = ? yr

[A_o] = initial amount of the sample = 100 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process =  13 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.21\times 10^{-4}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{100}{13}\\\\t=16864.4yrs

Hence, the tree was burned 16846.4 years ago to make the ancient charcoal

What elements are being reduced and oxidized in this chemical formula?
dangina [55]

Answer: The element Na (Sodium) is getting oxidized and Hydrogen is getting reduced.

Explanation:

Oxidation reactions are the reactions in which addition of oxygen takes place.

Reduction reactions are the reactions in which loss of oxygen takes place.

For a given reaction:

2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2(g)+2NaOH(aq.)

Sodium is getting oxidized because there is an addition of reaction with that element.

Hydrogen is getting reduced because there is a removal of oxygen with that element.
