Answer:
Increase in the concentration of the reactants (vinegar and baking soda) leads to an increase in the rate of reaction (more volume of CO2 is evolved within a shorter time)
Explanation:
The chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar in water is shown in the chemical reaction equation below;
NaHCO3(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) ----->CO2(g) + H2O(l) + CH3COONa(aq)
The chemical name of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) while vineager is a dilute acetic acid (CH3COOH) solution. This reaction provides a very easy set up in which we can study the effect of concentration on the rate of chemical reaction.
We must have it behind our minds that increase in the concentration of reactant species increases the rate of chemical reaction. Secondly, the rate of the reaction between baking soda and vinegar can be monitored by observing the volume of CO2 evolved and how quickly it evolves from the reaction mixture.
We can now postulate a hypothesis which states that; 'increase in the concentration of the reactants (vinegar and baking soda) leads to an increase in the rate of reaction (more volume of CO2 is evolved within a shorter time).'
If we go ahead to subject this hypothesis to experimental test, it will be confirmed to be true because a greater volume of CO2 will be evolved within a shorter time as the concentration of the reactants increases.
The half life for C14 is 5730 years.
We assume that Carbon 14/ Carbon 12 ratio was steady for living organisms over time, the problem is actually telling us that
= 0.0725 =
ˣ
Take the natural logarithm and In on both sides.
ln(0.725) = ln
ˣ
= - 0.3216 = xln (
= -0.6931x.
So x = (-.3216) / (-0.6931) = 0.464
or
t/t₁/₂ = 0.464
So t = 0.464 x t₁/₂ = 0.464 * 5730 yrs = 2660 years.
Answer/explanation:
Product identifier – the brand name, chemical name, common name, generic name or trade name of the hazardous product.
Initial supplier identifier – the name, address and telephone number of either the Canadian manufacturer or the Canadian importer.
