Answer:

When there remains one-quarter of the sample, the age of the sample is 10940 years

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

The half-life of C-14 is 5470 years.

The half- life time is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.

This means after 5470 years there remains half of the C-14 sample.

To remain a quarter of the sample, another cycle of 5470 years is required.

This means 2 half-lives should have passed to remain a quarter of the sample.

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate it's age

t/(t/1/2) = 2

⇒ with t = the age (or time) of the sample

⇒ with t(1/2) = the half-life time of the sample = 5470 years

⇒ with 2 = the number of halvf- lives passed

t/5470 = 2

t = 2*5470 = 10940 years

When there remains one-quarter of the sample, the age of the sample is 10940 years

How many grams of chromium are in 2.0 x 1024 atoms
Vaselesa [24]

Answer: 173 g ( 0.17 kg in right accuracy)

Explanation: Amount in moles is n = N/Na =  2.0·10^24 / 6.022·10^23 (1/mol).

n = 3.32116 mol. M(Cr) = 52.00 g/mol and  mass m = nM = 172.7 g

A solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of 3.25 × 10-2 m is ________ and has a hydroxide concentration of _______
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

To know the acidity of a solution, we calculate the pH value. The formula for pH is given as:

<span>pH = - log [H+]            where H+ must be in Molar</span>

We are given that H+ = 3.25 × 10-2 M

Therefore the pH is:

pH = - log [3.25 × 10-2] 

pH = 1.488

Since pH is way below 7, therefore the solution is acidic.

 

To find for the OH- concentration, we must remember that the product of H+ and OH- is equivalent to 10^-14. Therefore,

[H+]*[OH-] = 10^-14 <span>
</span>[OH-] = 10^-14 / [H+]

[OH-] = 10^-14 / 3.25 × 10-2

[OH-] = 3.08 × 10-13 M

 

Answers:

Acidic

[OH-] = 3.08 <span>× 10-13 M</span>
