Explanation:

Percentage composition tells you the percentage of each element present in a compound or molecule. This allows you to work out the number of atoms of each element present in the molecule. Percent composition is important because it allows us to determine the percentage of each element that makes up a specific compound.

A wooden artifact from an ancient tomb contains 60% of the carbon-14 that is present in living trees. How long ago was the artif

noname [10]

Answer:

The age of the sample is 4224 years.

Explanation:

Let the age of the sample be t years old.

Initial mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact = 100%

Initial mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = $[A_o]$

Final mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact t years = 60%

Final mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = $[A]=0.06[A_o]$

Half life of the carbon-14 = $t_{1/2}=5730 years$

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}$

$[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}\times t}$

$0.60[A_o]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{5730 year}\times t}$

Solving for t:

t = 4223.71 years ≈ 4224 years

The age of the sample is 4224 years.

What is the rate constant of a reaction if rate = 1 x 10-2 (mol/L)/s, [A] is 2 M,

boyakko [2]

The rate constant of a reaction : 8.3 x 10⁻⁴

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

rate = 1 x 10⁻² (mol/L)/s, [A] is 2 M, [B] is 3 M, m = 2, and n = 1

Required

the rate constant

Solution

For aA + bB ⇒ C + D

Reaction rate can be formulated:

$\large{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{r~=~k.[A]^a[B]^b}}}$

the rate constant : k =

$\tt k=\dfrac{rate}{[A]^m[B]^n}\\\\k=\dfrac{1.10^{-2}}{2^2\times 3^1}\\\\k=8.3\times 10^{-4}$
