The time taken by Carbon-14 to decay radioactively from 120g to 112.5g is 22,920 years.
<h3>How do we calculate the total time of decay?</h3>
Time required for the whole radioactive decay of any substance will be calculated by using the below link:
T = (n)(t), where
- t = half life time = 5730 years
- n = number of half life required for the decay
Initial mass of Carbon-14 = 120g
Final mass of Carbon-14 = 112.5g
Left mass = 120 - 112 = 7.5g
Number of required half life for this will be:
- 1: 120 → 60
- 2: 60 → 30
- 3: 30 → 15
- 4: 15 → 7.5
4 half lives are required, now on putting values we get
T = (4)(5730) = 22,920 years
Hence required time for the decay is 22,920 years.

Answer:
Dear user,
Answer to your query is provided below
When small amount of acid was added to buffered solution, pH will change very less.
Explanation:
Buffer solution resists change in ph on adding small amount of acid or base but when we calculate the value of buffer capacity we take the change in ph when we add acid or base to 1 lit solution of buffer.This contradicts the definition of buffer solution.
Answer:
- <u>two molecules of ammonia are formed by the reaction of one nitrogen and three hydrogen molecules.</u>
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation provides information on:
- <u>Reactants</u>: those are the compounds that appear of the left side of the equation, each with its chemical formula.
- <u>Products</u>: those are the compounds that appear on the right side of the equation, again, each with its chemical formula.
- <u>Ratio</u>: the coefficients of each compound (the number to the left of the chemical formula) represent the ratio of the number of molecules that react and are formed.
In the given equation you have:
- Equation: N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃
- The coefficients are 1 for nitrogen, 3 for hydrogen, and 2 for ammonia. Hence, 2 molecules of ammonia are formed by the reaction of 1 molecule of nitrogen and 3 molecules of hydrogen.
Answer:
Kc = 4.774 * 10¹³
Explanation:
the desired reaction is
2 NO₂(g) ⇋ N₂(g) + 2 O₂(g)
Kc =[N₂]*[O₂]² /[NO₂]²
Since
1/2 N₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) ⇋ NO(g)
Kc₁= [NO]/(√[N₂]√[O₂]) → Kc₁²= [NO]²/([N₂][O₂])
and
2 NO₂(g) ⇋ 2 NO(g) + O₂(g)
Kc₂= [NO]²*[O₂]/[NO₂]² → 1/Kc₂= [NO₂]²/([NO]²[O₂])
then
Kc₁²* (1/Kc₂) = [NO]²/([N₂]*[O₂]) *[NO₂]²/([NO]²[O₂]) = [NO₂]²/([N₂]*[O₂]²) = 1/Kc
Kc₁² /Kc₂ = 1/Kc
Kc= Kc₂/Kc₁² =1.1*10⁻⁵/(4.8*10⁻¹⁰)² = 4.774 * 10¹³
<u>Given</u> :
- Amount = 20 kg
- Heat energy absorbed = 237,000 J
- Temperature change = 15 °C
<u>Formula applied</u> :
- Q = absorbed heat
- m = mass
- c = specific heat capacity
- ΔT = temperature change
Let's solve for c !
⇒ 237,000 = 20 × c × 15
⇒ c = 237,000 ÷ 300
⇒ 
∴ The specific heat capacity of granite is <u>790 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹</u>.
