1) How old is a bone in which the Carbon-14 in it has undergone 8 half-lives?

Using the graph form the picture you count 8 times the halving of C¹⁴ and you arrive at 45600 years.

2) In the process of radiocarbon dating, the fixed period of radioactive decay used to determine age is called the half-life.

3) A certain byproduct in nuclear reactors, 210Po, decays to become 206Pb. After a time period of about 276 days, only about 25% of an original sample of 210Po remains. The remainder has decayed to 206Pb. Determine the approximate half-life of 210Po.

What the problem is telling you is that at 276 days only 25% original sample remains. If you divide the number of days by two the quantity of original sample will be multiplied by two, and you will have 138 days and 50% of original sample. This is the answer because the the half-life of a isotope is the time in which 50% of original quantity of radioactive atoms will disintegrate.

classify each of the statements about gases as true or false. oxygen molecules at 25 celsius are moving faster than oxygen
AleksandrR [38]

Since gas molecules average velocity depends on temperature, oxygen molecules at 25°C are moving faster than oxygen molecules at 0 °C.

According to the kinetic theory of gases, the molecules of a gas are in constant random motion and collide frequently with each other and the walls of the container.

The average speed of gas molecules depends on temperature and molar mass as shown by the relation;

vrms = √3RT/M

The following statement are true among the options provided;

  • Oxygen molecules at 25°C are moving faster than oxygen molecules at 0 °C
  • Gases exert pressure by colliding with container walls

The following are false among the options provided;

  • All hydrogen molecules are moving with the same velocity
  • Nitrogen gas exerts more pressure than hydrogen gas because nitrogen molecules are heavier than hydrogen molecules.
  • Nitrogen molecules remain suspended in the atmosphere because they are not attracted to Earth by gravitational forces.

Zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce zinc(II) chloride and hydrogen gas. How many liters of hydrogen gas will be
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

0.120 L of hydrogen gas will be produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of zinc = 10.0 grams

Volume of hydrochloric acid = 23.8 mL

Molarity of hydrochloric acid = 0.45 M

Molar mass of zinc =65.38 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Step 3: Calculate moles Zinc

Moles Zn = mass Zn / molar mass Zn

Moles Zn = 10.0 grams / 65.38 g/mol

Moles Zn  =  0.153 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles HCl

Moles HCl = molarity * volume

Moles HCl = 0.45 M * 0.0238 L

Moles HCl = 0.01071 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol Zn, we need 2 moles HCl to produce 1 mol ZnCl2 and 1 mol H2

HCl is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.01071 moles)

Zn is in excess. There will react 0.01071/2 = 0.005355 moles

There will remain 0.153 - 0.005355 = 0.147645 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles H2

For 1 mol Zn, we need 2 moles HCl to produce 1 mol ZnCl2 and 1 mol H2

For 0.01071 moles HCl we'll have 0.005355 moles H2

Step 7: Calculate volume H2

1 mol at STP = 22.4 L

0.005355 moles = 22.4 * 0.005355 = 0.120 L = 120 mL

0.120 L of hydrogen gas will be produced
