How old is a bone if it now .3125 of C-14 when it originally had 80.0g of C-14

Chemistry

Taya2010 [7]3 years ago

<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

What hybridization is required for central atoms that have a tetrahedral arrangement of electron pairs? A trigo- nal planar arra
Reika [66]

Answer:

sp³;

sp²;

sp;

None;

One;

Two;

They're used to pi bonds.

Explanation:

The central atom in a molecule is generally the one that can make a greater number of bonds. The covalent bonds are made by the sharing of electrons, and, for that, the electron must be alone in the orbital.

To explain this, the hybridization theory was created, which states that, the orbitals are joined to form hybrids ones, and so, by the Hund's law, the electrons are alone in them.

The sigma bonds are done in the hybrids orbitals, and at the pure orbitals, the pi bonds are done. The lone pair of electrons are at a pure orbital. So, to know the hybridization of the central atom, we must know how many sigma bonds it does, and it will be the number of hybrids orbitals (each orbital may have two electrons, thus each bond are done in one orbital).

Double bonds and triple bonds have always only one sigma bond, so the number of sigma bonds is equal to the number of bonds, it's not necessary to know if they are simple, double or triple.

When the arrangement is tetrahedral, the central atom does 4 bonds, so it has 4 sigma bonds, and 4 hybrids orbitals (one of s and three for p), does its hybridization is sp³. Because exists only 3 p orbitals, there are no unhybridized p orbitals in this case.

When the arrangement is trigonal, the central atom does 3 bonds, so it has 3 hybrids orbitals (one of s and two of p), thus the hybridization is sp². So there are one unhybridized p orbitals.

When the arrangement is linear, the central atom does 2 bonds, so it has 2 hybrids orbitals (one of s and one of p), thus the hybridization is sp. So, there are two unhybridized p atoms.

As stated before, the unhybridized p orbitals are used to pi bonds.

Think about your morning from when you wake up until you arrive at school. Describe the forms of energy you encounter or use dur
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

When sleeping the energy exhibited is Potential energy. When I wake up and I’m preparing for the day I use kinetic energy which is the energy exhibited during motion.

Eating before leaving the house means I used chemical energy for replenishment of nutrients to aid the performance of more activities for the day. The food eaten and the physical activities also give rise to thermal energy which is why we sweat.

In the spring of 1984, concern arose over the presence of ethylene dibromide, or EDB, in grains and cereals. EDB has the molecul
Lady bird [3.3K]

869.6 × 10¹⁴ molecules of EDB

Explanation:

We have 1.9 lb of flour with a EDB concentration of 31.5 ppb.

We need to transform lb in grams.

1 lb = 453.6 grams

1.9 lb = (1.9 × 453.6) / 1 = 861.8 grams

Now we determine the number of molecules of EDB in the sample by devise the following reasoning:

if we have        31.5 × 10⁻⁹ g of EDB in 1 g of sample

then we have   X  g of EDB in 861.8 g of sample

X = (31.5 × 10⁻⁹ × 861.8) / 1 = 27146.7 × 10⁻⁹ g of EDB

Molecular mass of EDB (C₂H₄Br₂) = 188 g/mole

Taking in account that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ (Avogadro’s number) molecules we devise the following reasoning:

if       188 g of EDB contains 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

then 27146.7 × 10⁻⁹ g of EDB contains Y molecules

Y = (27146.7 × 10⁻⁹ × 6.022 × 10²³) / 188 = 869.6 × 10¹⁴ molecules of EDB
