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.

An element's atomic number is 68. How many protons would an atom of this element have?
Evgen [1.6K]
Answer: 68.

Explanation:

The atomic number is the number that idenfities an element.

The atomic number is the number of protons of an element.

Every element has a different number of protons.

The elements are arranged in the periodic table as per their atomic number (number of protons).

The first element is hydrogen (H), its atomic number is 1, and it has 1 proton.

The second element is helium (He), its atomic number is 2 (it has 2 protons)-

Those two elements form the first period (row) of the periodic table.

The second row (period) has the elements Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F and Ne, whose respective atomic numbers (number of protons are) 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, respectively.

And so, you may idenfity each of the 118 elements known, with a different atomic number (number of protons).

Calculate the value of [CH3OH][CO][H2]2 when all concentrations are 2.4. Keep in mind that the reaction may not be at equilibriu
NikAS [45]

Explanation:

The given reaction will be as follows.

            CO + 2H_{2} \leftrightharpoons CH_{3}OH

So, equilibrium constant for this equation will be as follows.

              K_{c} = \frac{[CH_{3}OH]}{[CO][H_{2}]^{2}}

As it is given that concentration of all the species is 2.4. Therefore, calculate the value of equilibrium constant as follows.

               K_{c} = \frac{[CH_{3}OH]}{[CO][H_{2}]^{2}}

                       = \frac{2.4}{2.4 \times (2.4)^{2}}

                       = 0.173

Thus, we can conclude that equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 0.173.

How many grams are in 2.54 x 10^23 molecules of CO2
Ivan

Answer:

=<em><u> 0.42 moles of CO2 </u></em>

Explanation:

From Avogadro's constant

6.02×10^23 molecules are in 1 mole of CO2

2.54×10^23 molecules will be in

=[(2.54×10^23) ÷ (6.02×10^23)]

= 0.42 moles of CO2
