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!

What is the molarity of 6 moles (mol) of NaCl dissolved in 2 L of water?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

C:  \frac{6 mol}{2 L}

Explanation:

we can use the molarity equation

M = \frac{mol}{L}

so to find M we plug in what we know, which is 6 moles of NaCl and 2 L of water, which gives us:

\frac{6 mol}{2 L}

<span>In the written directions the indicator that the matter contains protein is when the solution turns a purple color. Therefore we can conclude that if your sample causes the solution of Copper Sulfate and Sodium Hydroxide to turn purple, it does indeed contain protein.</span>

Tema [17]

Answer: a. +2, cation and magnesium ion .

b. -1,  anion, chloride

c. -2, anion, oxide

d. +1. cation , potassium ion

Explanation:

When an atom accepts an electron negative charge is created on atom and is called as anion.

When atom loses an electron positive charge is created on atom and is called as cation.

Magnesium (Mg) with atomic number of 12 has electronic configuration of 2,8,2 and thus it can lose 2 electrons to form Mg^{2+} cation and becomes magnesium ion.

Chlorine (Cl) with atomic number of 17 has electronic configuration of 2,8,7 and thus it can gain 1 electron to form Cl^{-} anion and becomes chloride.

Oxygen (O) with atomic number of 8 has electronic configuration of 2,6 and thus it can gain 2 electrons to form O^{2-} anion and becomes oxide.

Potassium (K) with atomic number of 19 has electronic configuration of 2,8,8,1 and thus it can lose 1 electron to form K^{+} cation and becomes potassium ion.
