Answer: 375 g

Explanation:

Formula used :

a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives = ?

a_o = Initial amount of the reactant = 100 g

n = number of half lives = 4

Putting values in above equation, we get:

a=\frac{6000}{2^4}

a=375g

Therefore, the amount of carbon-14 remains at the end of four half-lives is 375 g

chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes, Cl-35 and Cl-37. The atomic mass of chlorine is 35.45. Which of these two isotope
Sliva [168]
Cl-35, as the atomic mass of Chlorine (35.45) is closer to the number 35 than to the number 37. A higher abundance of CL-35 isotope would have caused the atomic number (which is an average of the values of all isotopes of a substances taking relative abundance into consideration) to decrease from 36, which would appear to be the average.

2.0 kg of carbon is heated from 25°C to 55°C, and absorbs 42600 joules of heat in the process.
Marrrta [24]

Answer: c = 710 J/kg°C or 0.71 J/g°C

Explanation: Heat is expressed in the formula Q = mc∆T. Derive to find the specific heat c. So the formula will become c = Q / m∆T

c = Q / m∆T

= 42600 J / 2 kg ( 55°C - 25°C )

= 710 J /kg°C

Or can be expressed by converting kg to g.

c = 0.71 J /g°C

Classify each amino acid into the following categories. Select the amino acid that fits best in each category. Each amino acid w
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

1. Lysine

2. Aspartic acid

3. Serine

4. Alanine

5. Tryptophan

Explanation:

Amino acids are biomolecules that contain two functional groups and one R side chain. The two functional groups are: carboxyl group and amino group.

The α-amino acids are the amino acids in which the two functional groups and the R side chain are attached to the α-carbon of the amino acid. They are total 22 α-amino acids.

1. A basic amino acid: Lysine is a positively charged, polar basic amino acid with a lysyl side chain.

2. An acidic amino acid: Aspartic acid is a negatively charged, polar acidic amino acid with an acidic carboxymethyl group.

3. A neutral polar amino acid: Serine is a polar and neutral amino acid with a hydroxymethyl group.

4. A non-polar aliphatic amino acid: Alanine is an aliphatic, nonpolar and neutral amino acid with a methyl side chain.

5. An aromatic amino acid: Tryptophan is an aromatic, nonpolar and neutral amino acid with an indole side chain.

What is the volume that you should dilute 30mL of a 12.0M H2SO4 solution to obtain a 0.160M H2SO4 solution?
shutvik [7]
To solve this problem, the dilution equation (M1 x V1 = M2 X V2) must be used. The given values in the problem are M1= 12.0 M, V1= 30 mL, and M2= 0.160 M. To solve for V2,
V2=M1xV1/M2
V2= (12x30)/0.16
V2= 2,250 mL.
The correct answer is 2.25 L.
