Answer:

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

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

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

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

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

When there will pass another half-life cyclus, half of the sample will remain.

Half of 50 % = 25% = one- quarter

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 half- lives passed  to remain one quarter of sample

t/5470 = 2

t = 2*5470 = 10940 years

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

Explanation:

1) Hill is an elevated location smaller than a mountain. Location: Land

2) Mountain is a large mass of earth and rock, rising above the common level of the earth or adjacent land, usually given by geographers as above 1000 feet in height (or 304.8 metres).

Location: Land or Water

3) Plateau is a largely level expanse of land at a high elevation. It is also known as tableland.

Location: Land

4) Valley is an elongated depression between hills or mountains, often with a river flowing through it.

Consider the following reaction:
adell [148]

Answer:

1. d[H₂O₂]/dt = -6.6 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹; d[H₂O]/dt = 6.6 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹

2. 0.58 mol

Explanation:

1.Given ΔO₂/Δt…

    2H₂O₂     ⟶      2H₂O     +     O₂

-½d[H₂O₂]/dt = +½d[H₂O]/dt = d[O₂]/dt  

d[H₂O₂]/dt = -2d[O₂]/dt = -2 × 3.3 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹ = -6.6 × 10⁻³mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹

 d[H₂O]/dt =  2d[O₂]/dt =  2 × 3.3 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹ =  6.6 × 10⁻³mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹

2. Moles of O₂  

(a) Initial moles of H₂O₂

\text{Moles} = \text{1.5 L} \times \dfrac{\text{1.0 mol}}{\text{1 L}} = \text{1.5 mol }

(b) Final moles of H₂O₂

The concentration of H₂O₂ has dropped to 0.22 mol·L⁻¹.

\text{Moles} = \text{1.5 L} \times \dfrac{\text{0.22 mol}}{\text{1 L}} = \text{0.33 mol }

(c) Moles of H₂O₂ reacted

Moles reacted = 1.5 mol - 0.33 mol = 1.17 mol

(d) Moles of O₂ formed

\text{Moles of O}_{2} = \text{1.33 mol H$_{2}$O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{2 mol H$_{2}$O}_{2}} = \textbf{0.58 mol O}_{2}\\\\\text{The amount of oxygen formed is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.58 mol}}$}
