Answer:
17202.6 years
Explanation:
Activity of the living sample (Ao) = 160 counts per minute
Activity of the wood sample (A) = 20 counts per minute
Half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years
t= age of the artifact
From;
0.693/t1/2= 2.303/t log Ao/A
Then;
0.693/ 5730= 2.303/t log Ao/A
Substituting values;
0.693/5730= 2.303/t log (160/20)
Then we obtain;
1.209×10^-4 = 2.0798/t
t= 2.0798/1.209×10^-4
Thus;
t= 17202.6 years
Therefore the artifact is 17202.6 years old.
Answer:
23.8g of sodium phosphate are formed
Explanation:
Based on the reaction of sodium, Na, with phosphoric acid, H₃PO₄:
3Na + H₃PO₄ → Na₃PO₄ + 3/2 H₂
<em>3 moles of sodium produce 1 mole of sodium phosphate</em>
<em />
To solve this question we must find the moles of sodium in 10g. Using the chemical reaction we can find the moles -And the mass- of sodium phosphate produced, as follows:
<em>Moles Na -Molar mass: 22.99g/mol-</em>
10g * (1mol / 22.99g) = 0.435 moles Na
<em>Moles Na₃PO₄:</em>
0.435 moles Na * (1mol Na₃PO₄ / 3mol Na) = 0.145 moles Na₃PO₄
<em>Mass Na₃PO₄ -Molar mass: 163.94g/mol-</em>
0.145 moles Na₃PO₄ * (163.94g/mol) =
<h3>23.8g of sodium phosphate are formed</h3>
Answer:
Radium
Explanation:
It has the highest atomic number so it would have more shells, making it larger than the others.
