Why is carbon used to date things that were once living?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Oliga [24]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Because carbon-14 decays at this constant rate, an estimate of the date at which an organism died can be made by measuring the amount of its residual radiocarbon. ... The carbon-14 method was developed by the American physicist Willard F.

If an element has a mass number of 222 and an atomic number of 86, how
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

136

Explanation:

The Mass Number is the combination of the amount of Protons and Neutrons in an element, so if the total mass is 222, and the amount of protons is 86, then you can do 86 + x = 222 to find that x is equal to 136

Given bh3, o3, co2, and nh3, which of these compound is an exception to the octet rules?.
Ghella [55]

Answer:

a. BH₃

Explanation:

According to the octet rules, atoms reach stability when are surrounded by eight electrons in their valence shell when they combine to form a chemical compound.

From the options, the only compound in which the central atom does not meet the octet rules is BH₃. The central atom is boron (B), which has 3 electrons in its valence shell. When B is combined with hydrogen (H), 3 electrons from the 3 atoms of H are added. The total amount of electrons is 6, fewer than 8 electrons needed to meet the rule.

Calculate the standard entropy of vaporization of ethanol at its boiling point, 352 K. The standard molar enthalpy of vaporizati
Korvikt [17]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) +115 J/mol.K

Explanation :

Formula used :

\Delta S=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{T_b}

where,

\Delta S = change in entropy

\Delta H_{vap} = change in enthalpy of vaporization = 40.5 kJ/mol

T_b = boiling point temperature = 352 K

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\Delta S=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{T_b}

\Delta S=\frac{40.5kJ/mol}{352K}

\Delta S=115J/mol.K

Therefore, the standard entropy of vaporization of ethanol at its boiling point is +115 J/mol.K
