The half-life for the radioactive decay of C-14C-14 is 5730 years. You may want to reference (Pages 598 - 605) Section 14.5 whil

KIM [24]

Answer: The sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %

Explanation:

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half life of the reaction = 5730 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{5730yrs}=1.21\times 10^{-4}yrs^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}yr^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = ? yr

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the sample = 100 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process = (100 - 25) = 75 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.21\times 10^{-4}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{100}{75}\\\\t=2377.9yrs$

Hence, the sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %

What is the difference between heterozygous and homozygous?

Yuri [45]

we can differentiate a heterozygous individual from a homozygote by analyzing their alleles. If the alleles in the homologous chromosomes are the same, we say that it is a homozygote. If the alleles are different, the individual is heterozygous.

This is very urgent please hurry!!?!!??!

Answer:

The greatest acceleration when the unbalanced force is applied will be experienced in :

A) The box with a mass of 2 kg

Explanation:

According to second law of motion the external unbalanced force is directly proportional to rate of change of momentum.

F = (Final momentum - initial momentum)/time

or

Force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration

F = m x a

Here a= acceleration

m = mass of the object

If Force is constant then acceleration is inversely proportional to mass

$a =\frac{F}{m}$

A) The box with a mass of 2kg

F = 8 N

$a =\frac{8}{2}$

a = 4 m/s2

B) The box with the mass of 4kg

$a =\frac{8}{4}$

a = 2 m/s2

C) The box with a mass of 6kg

$a =\frac{8}{6}$

a = 1.33 m/s2

D) The box with a mass of 8kg

$a =\frac{8}{8}$

a = 1 m/s2

How many moles are present in 54.8 mL of mercury if the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL?

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

3.72 mol Hg

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

Reading a Periodic Table
Using Dimensional Analysis
Density = Mass over Volume

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

D = 13.6 g/mL

54.8 mL Hg

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of Hg - 200.59 g/mol

Step 3: Find

13.6 g/mL = x g / 54.8 mL

x = 745.28 g Hg

Step 4: Convert

$745.28 \ g \ Hg(\frac{1 \ mol \ Hg}{200.59 \ g \ Hg} )$ = 3.71544 mol Hg

Step 5: Check

We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

3.71544 mol Hg ≈ 3.72 mol Hg
