Answer:

26150 years

Explanation:

First we need to determine the number of half lives -- not years -- it'll take for 100g (of any element) to decay to 3.125 g

First Half Life 100/2 = 50

Seconf Half Life 50/2 = 25

Third Half Life 25/2 = 12.5

Fourth Half Life 12.5/2 = 6.25

Fifth Half Life 6.25/2 = 3.125

So it'll take 5 half lives for 100g to decay to 3.125g.

If the Half Life of Carbon-14 is 5230 and it will take 5 half lives, to determine the number of years we just need to multiply 5*5230

5*5230 = 26150

This means that it will take 26150 years for 100g Carbon-14 to decay to 3.125g.

Hope this helps!

Does a metal conduct electricity in the solid state?
ad-work [718]
Metal atoms have outer electrons which are not tied to any one atom. These electrons can move freely within the structure of a metal when an electric current is applied. There are no such free electrons in covalent or ionic solids, so electrons can't flow through them - they are non-conductors.

In a shorter term - no

Ethanol and water appear the saame to the naked eye at 25C. Which properties can help a chemist distinguish between? denisty, ma
Oxana [17]

Explanation:

As it is known that there are two types of properties. These are extensive and intensive.

Extensive properties : Properties that depend on the size or amount of system. For example, mass, volume etc.

Intensive properties : Properties that do not depend on the size or amount of system. For example, density, melting point, specific heat capacity etc.

On the basis of these properties water and ethanol are distinguished as follows.

  • Density of water is 997 kg/m^{3} whereas density of ethanol is 789 kg/m^{3}. Both these liquids can be separated by intensive properties.
  • Melting point of water is zero degree celsius whereas melting point of ethanol is -114.1 degree celsius.
  • Specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g ^{o}C whereas specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2.46 J/g ^{o}C.
  • Mass of the given liquids cannot be differentiated because they will keep on changing depending on the quantity required. As mass is an extensive property, therefore, it is difficult to differentiate between the two liquids.

Thus, we can conclude that properties like density, melting point, specific heat capacity can help a chemist distinguish between ethanol and water.
