<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 11,460 years

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years . Half life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of its original mass.  Therefore, it  would take a time of 5730 years for a sample of 100 g of carbon-14 to decay to 50 grams</u></em>

<em>The initial amount of carbon-14 in this case was 1 whole; thus; </em>

<em>1 → 1/2 →1/4</em>

<em>To contain 1/4 of the value, 2 half-lives have passed. </em>

<em>But, 1 half life = 5,730 years</em>

<em>Therefore; The artifact is is therefore: 2 x 5,730 </em>

<em>          = 11,460 years </em>

The half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years
To contain 1/4 of the value, 2 half-lives must have passed.
The artifact is: 2 x 5,730
= 11,460 years older than the atmosphere.

A chemist fills a reaction vessel with a 0.105g mercurous chloride Hg2Cl2 solid, 0.926 M mercury (I) (Hg2^2+) aqueous solution,
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

ΔG = 98.67 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Let' s consider the following reaction.

Hg₂Cl₂(s) → Hg₂²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)

The standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) for the reaction is:

ΔG° = 1 mol × ΔG°f(Hg₂²⁺(aq)) + 2 mol × ΔG°f(Cl⁻(aq)) - 1 mol × ΔG°f(Hg₂Cl₂(s))

where,

ΔG°f: standard Gibbs free energy of formation

ΔG° = 1 mol × (154.72 kJ/mol) + 2 mol × (-134.08 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-215.06 kJ/mol)

ΔG° = 101.62 kJ

This is standard Gibbs free energy change per mole of reaction.

The Gibbs free energy of the reaction (ΔG) can be calculated using the following expression.

ΔG = ΔG° - R.T.lnQ

where,

R: ideal gas constant

T: absolute temperature

Q: reaction quotient

ΔG = ΔG° - R.T.ln([Hg₂²⁺].[Cl⁻]²)

ΔG = 101.62 kJ/mol + (8.314 × 10⁻³ kJ/mol.K) . (298.2 K) . ln [(0.926).(0.573)²]

ΔG = 98.67 kJ/mol

Acids hydrolyze or dissolve in solutions to form what? acids hydrolyze or dissolve in solutions to form what? hydroxide ions sol
nikklg [1K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

                      Acids hydrolyze or dissolve in solutions to form <u>Protons</u>.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                      Acid are defined according to three different theories and concepts.

                       i)  Arrhenius Concept

                       ii) Lowry Bronsted Theory

                      iii) Lewis Theory

According to Arrhenius Concept of Acid and Base, "Acid is any specie which when dissolved in water ionizes to produce H⁺ ions".

Example:

                                  HCl    →    H⁺₍aq₎  +  Cl⁻₍aq₎

                                  H₂SO₄    →    2 H⁺₍aq₎  +  SO₄²⁻₍aq₎

Proton (H⁺):

                   Hydrogen atom with atomic mass of 1 amu contains one proton and one electron in its first shell. When this single electron is removed from hydrogen atom it is left with only one proton hence, H⁺ is called proton.

Hydrolysis:  

                 In simple, hydrolysis is that reaction in which water molecules are utilized to breakdown a chemical compound.

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

                     Hence, we can conclude that Arrhenius Acids when added to water are being hydrolyzed by water molecule and yield H⁺ (proton) along with corresponding negative specie.

Which color of light has the greatest energy
ozzi

Answer:

violet

Explanation:

Waves with a short wavelength have the most energy. Red waves have a relatively long wavelength (in the 700 nm range), and violet waves are much shorter - roughly half that. Because violet waves have the shortest wavelength of the visible light spectrum, they carry the most energy (google)
