<h3>Answer:</h3>

42960 years

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Remaining mass of C-14 in a bone is 0.3125 g
  • Original mass of C-14 on the bone is 80.0 g
  • Half life of C-14 is 5370 years

We are required to determine the age of the bone;

  • Using the formula;
  • Remaining mass = Original mass × 0.5^n , where n is the number of half lives.

Therefore;

0.3125 g = 80.0 g × 0.5^n

3.90625 × 10^-3 = 0.5^n

  • Introducing logarithm on both sides;

log 3.90625 × 10^-3 = n log 0.5

Solving for n

n = log 3.90625 × 10^-3 ÷ log 0.5

   = 8

  • Therefore, the number of half lives is 8
  • But, 1 half life is 5370 years
  • Therefore;

Age of the rock = 5370 years × 8

                          = 42960 years

Thus, the bone is 42960 years old

You want to make 500 ml of a 1 N solution of sulfuric acid (H2SO4, MW: 98.1). How many grams of sulfuric acid do you need?
umka21 [38]

Answer:

24.525 g of sulfuric acid.

Explanation:

Hello,

Normality (units of eq/L) is defined as:

N=\frac{eq_{solute}}{V_{solution}}

Since the sulfuric acid is the solute, and we already have the volume of the solution (500 mL) but we need it in liters (0.5 L, just divide into 1000), the equivalent grams of solute are given by:

eq_{solute}=N*V_{solution}=1\frac{eq}{L}*0.5L=0.5 eq

Now, since the sulfuric acid is diprotic (2 hydrogen atoms in its formula) 1 mole of sulfuric acid has 2 equivalent grams of sulfuric acid, so the mole-mass relationship is developed to find its required mass as follows:

m_{H_2SO_4}=0.5eqH_2SO_4(\frac{1molH_2SO_4}{2 eqH_2SO_4}) (\frac{98.1 g H_2SO_4}{1 mol H_2SO_4} )\\m_{H_2SO_4}=24.525 g H_2SO_4

Best regards.

Which type of stoichiometric calculation does not require the use of the molar mass?
Marianna [84]
The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

a. mass-mass problems 
<span>b. mass-volume problems </span>
<span>c. mass-particle problems </span>
<span>d. volume-volume problems
</span>
I believe the correct answer is option D. It is volume-volume problems that does not require the use of molar mass. <span> Here you are dealing with molarities and volumes to determine concentrations. Molar mass is not part of any calculations.</span>
