<h3>Answer:</h3>

                   Cu₂SO₄ · 3 H₂O

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                         First of all we should be interested in the oxidation number carried out by Copper atom because it can exist both in +1 and +2 state. Hence, as shown in name<em> i.e. </em>(I), it shows that copper is having +1 oxidation state.

                          Secondly, we should be interested in the charge carried out by sulfate ion, as it is conjugate base of sulfuric acid so, it must contain a charge of -2.

                           Therefore, to neutralize -2 charge of SO₄²⁻ ion we have to add two Cu⁺¹ ions hence,

                                             Cu₂SO₄

Furthermore, the number of water molecules are three as the word tri- specifies three.

                                        Cu₂SO₄ . 3 H₂O

<h3>Remember:</h3>

                    In naming ionic compounds the positive part is named first followed by negative ion.

It is either the 3rd answer or the 4th answer. Both are correct ways to write hydrates, but I was taught the 4th way. Just make sure this answer matches the format of the examples your teacher gave you.

The half life for the decay of carbon- is years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon- in a tiny samp
EleoNora [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

The half-life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5.73x10^3 years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon-14 in a tiny sample of an artifact made of woodfrom an archeological dig is measured to be 2.8x10^3 Bq. The activity in a similiar-sized sample of fresh wood is measured to be 3.0x10^3 Bq. Calculate the age of the artifact. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

570 years

Explanation:

The activity of the fresh sample is taken as the initial activity of the wood sample while the activity measured at a time t is the present activity of the wood artifact. The time taken for the wood to attain its current activity can be calculated from the formula shown in the image attached. The activity at a time t must always be less than the activity of a fresh wood sample. Detailed solution is found in the image attached.

The spectrophotometer really measures the percent of light that is transmitted through the solution. The instrument then convert
Fantom [35]

Hey there!:

absorbance = log 100 - log Transmitance

absorbace = 0.85

log 100 = 2

- log transmitance = absorbace / log 100

0.85 / 2= 0.425

transmitance =  10 ^ ( - 0.425 )

transmitance = 0.376
