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 the units and how to solve the following metric conversion then solve the metric conversion by filling in the blank 12KM
LiRa [457]

Answer:- 12 km = 12000 m

Solution:- It's a metric unit conversion where we are asked to convert 12 km to m where km stands for kilometer and m stands for meter.

In metric conversions, kilo means 1000.

So, 1 km = 1000 m

It means,  we multiply the given km by 1000 to get the answer in m as:

12km(\frac{1000m}{1km})

= 12000 m

Hence, 12 km = 12000 m.

Answer:

The warmer, lighter air rises, bringing cooler, heavier air to low altitudes.

Air at higher altitudes doesn't have as much air weighing down on it from above.

Explanation:

In short - air pressure is the result of the cumulative force that air molecules act on objects below them due to Earth's gravity. The higher the altitude, the less air molecules there are to act a force below them, and therefore, there's less air pressure at higher altitudes.

What is the pH of a 3.40 mM of acetic acid, 500 mL in which 50 mL of 1.00 M NaOAc has been added? Ka HOAc is 1.8 x 10-5? What pe
Deffense [45]

Answer:

a) pH = 4.213

b) % dis = 2 %

Explanation:

Ch3COONa → CH3COO- + Na+

CH3COOH ↔ CH3COO- + H3O+

∴ Ka = 1.8 E-5 = ([ CH3COO- ] * [ H3O+ ]) / [ CH3COOH ]

mass balance:

⇒ <em>C</em> CH3COOH + <em>C</em> CH3COONa = [ CH3COOH ] + [ CH3COO- ]

<em>∴ C </em>CH3COOH = 3.40 mM = 3.4 mmol/mL * ( mol/1000mmol)*(1000mL/L)

∴ <em>C</em> CH3COONa = 1.00 M = 1.00 mol/L = 1.00 mmol/mL

⇒ [ CH3COOH ] = 4.4 - [ CH3COO- ]

charge balance:

⇒ [ H3O+ ] + [ Na+ ] = [ CH3COO- ] + [ OH- ]....is negligible [ OH-], comes from water

⇒ [ CH3COO- ] = [ H3O+ ] + 1.00

⇒ Ka = (( [ H3O+ ] + 1 )* [ H3O+ ]) / ( 3.4 - [ H3O+])) = 1.8 E-5

⇒ [ H3O+ ]² + [ H3O+ ] = 6.12 E-5 - 1.8 E-5 [ H3O+ ]

⇒ [ H3O+ ]² + [ H3O+ ] - 6.12 E-5 = 0

⇒  [ H3O+ ] = 6.12 E-5 M

⇒ pH = - Log [ H3O+ ] = 4.213

b) (% dis)* mol acid = <em>C</em> CH3COOH = 3.4

∴ mol CH3COOH = 500*3.4 = 1700 mmol = 1.7 mol

⇒ % dis = 3.4 / 1.7 = 2 %
