The decay of a radioactive isotope can be predicted using the formula: A = Ao[2^(-t/T_0.5)] where A is the amount after time t, Ao is the original amount and T_0.5 is the half-life. Using the equation and the given values, 0.888 g of the sample will remain after 72 minutes.
Answer:
Radiometric dating, often called radioactive dating, is a technique used to determine the age of materials such as rocks.
The Half life is the time taken for a radioisotope or a radioactive substance to decay by half its original amount. The half life of carbon 14 is 5600 years.
Original mass is 100%
Remaining amount is 24%
Therefore; 0.24 = 1 × (1/2)^n
n = log 0.24/log 0.5
= 2.06
therefore, the age of the fossil is 5600×2.06
= 11529.8
≈ 11529 years
Answer:
4.4 mol.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, since the formula for calculating the molarity is:
Whereas n stands for moles and V for the volume in liters; we can solve for n as shown below when we are given the volume and the molarity:
Thus, we plug in the given data to obtain:
Best regards!
Question #1
Potasium hydroxide (known)
volume used is 25 ml
Molarity (concentration) = 0.150 M
Moles of KOH used
0.150 × 25/1000 = 0.00375 moles
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
volume used = 15.0 ml
unknown concentration
The equation for the reaction is
2KOH (aq)+ H2SO4(aq) = K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Thus, the Mole ratio of KOH to H2SO4 is 2:1
Therefore, moles of H2SO4 used will be;
0.00375 × 1/2 = 0.001875 moles
Acid (sulfuric acid) concentration
0.001875 moles × 1000/15
= 0.125 M
Question #2
Hydrogen bromide (acid)
Volume used = 30 ml
Concentration is 0.250 M
Moles of HBr used;
0.25 × 30/1000
= 0.0075 moles
Sodium Hydroxide (base)
Volume used 20 ml
Concentration (unknown)
The equation for the reaction is
NaOH + HBr = NaBr + H2O
The mole ratio of NaOH : HBr is 1 : 1
Therefore, moles of NaOH used;
= 0.0075 moles
NaOH concentration will be
= 0.0075 moles × 1000/20
= 0.375 M
