Answer:

C-14

Explanation:

Carbon-14 is a naturally occurring isotope of carbon.

It is present in all living organism.

When a living organism dies or fossilized, the radioactive carbon-14 undergoes disintegration.

If we can measure the amount of Carbon-14 left in a fossil we can determine the age of the dead organism.

This is known as carbon dating.

Explain how a drought poses a threat to life and the biosphere. Use complete sentences.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

A drought poses a huge threat to all life. If a drought occurred the entire food chain would disintegrate within months. There would be no water for any animals or plants. Small mammals would not be able to eat plants, and reptiles would not be able to the small animals, and so on. A drought can destroy an ecosystem in a short amount of time.

Water is only being moved into the air through water vapor, so the air will become hotter than water. Land is also not moving in the atmosphere and absorbing heat like air is, so air will also be hotter than land, depending on what the land is made of.

Through precipitation, water in the atmosphere can return to the hydrosphere or percolate into the ground to become groundwater—part of the geosphere. ... Water in the biosphere can be released into the atmosphere through transpiration in plants, or respiration in animals.

Ni2+(aq) + 6 NH3(aq) ⇌ Ni(NH3)6 2+(aq)
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

a) ΔGº= -49,9 KJ/mol = - 50 KJ/mol

b) The reaction  goes to the right to formation of products

c) ΔG= 84,42 KJ/mol. The direction is to reactive, to the left

Explanation:

a) ΔGº= - RTLnKf

You need to convert Cº to K. 25ºC=298K

Then, ΔGº= - 3,814 J/molK * 298K* Ln(5.6 *10^8)= - 49906 J/mol = -49,9 KJ/mol = - 50 KJ/mol

b) The ΔGº < 0, that means the direct reaction is spontaneous when te reactive and products are in standard state. In other words the reaction goes to the right, to formation of products

c) The general ecuation for chemical reaction is aA + bB → cD + dD. Thus

ΔG=ΔGº + RTLn (([C]^c*[D]^d)/[A]^a*[B]^b)

In this case,

ΔG=ΔGº + RTLn ([Ni(NH3)62+] / [Ni2+]*[NH3]^6 )= 84417 J/mol =84,42 KJ/mol

ΔG >0 means the reaction isn't spontaneous in the direction of the products. Therefore the direction is to reactive, to the left
