g Imagine that you found a piece of carved wood that has been embedded in glacial ice. The mass of the wood is 50 grams, and 30%

of the mass is carbon. The 14C/12C ratio of the wood was measured by mass spectrometry, and found to be 20 % of the 14C/12C ratio found in CO2 in modern air. You may assume that the half life of 14C is 5700 years. Which is the best estimate of the age of the wood

Answer:

13414 years

Explanation:

From;

0.693/ t1/2 = 2.303/t log No/N

t1/2 = half life of  C-14

t = age of the sample

No= initial amount of C-14

N = present amount of C-14

From the question, N = 0.2 No

Hence;

0.693/5700 = 2.303/t log No/0.2No

1.2 * 10^-4 = 2.303/t log 1/0.2

1.2 * 10^-4 = 1.6097/t

t = 1.6097/1.2 * 10^-4

t = 13414 years

The formal charges of all nonhydrogen atoms are -1.

Solution:-

<u>O 7-4 = 3 O Double bond on one H 5-4 = 1</u>

O-Cl-O 6-7 = -1x4 = -4 N 5-4=1 H-N-H 1-1=0

O 3-4= -1 O O 6-7 = -1(2)=-2 H 1-0=+1

<u>6-6 = 0 1-2 = -1</u>

It will percentage its last valence electron thru a single bond to the terminal oxygen atom. This is in agreement with carbon and hydrogen atoms that each need to form 4 and 1 covalent bonds respectively. because the terminal oxygen atom best has a single covalent bond, it'll have a proper rate of -1.

According to the lewis structure of SO2, The critical atom is sulfur and it is bonded with 2 oxygen atoms thru a double bond. each oxygen atom acquires 2 lone pairs of electrons and the primary sulfur atom has 1 lone pair of electrons.

A balloon, whose volume at 23°C is 535 mL, is heated to 46°C. Assuming the pressure and amount of gas remain constant, what is t
NikAS [45]
This problem requires a certain equation.  That equation is V1/T1=V2/T2, where V1 is your initial volume (535 mL in this case), T1 is your initial temperature in Kelvin(23 degrees C = 296 K), V2 is your final volume (unknown), and T2 is your final temperature (46 degrees C = 319 K). By plugging in these values, the equation looks like this: 535/296=V2/319.  Now multiply both sides of the equation by 319, and your final answer is V2= 576.6 mL

1) If the pressure on 2.6 liters of a gas at 860 Torr is increased to 1000 Torr,
LenKa [72]

2.24 liters is the volume of the gas if pressure is increased to 1000 Torr.

Explanation:

Data given:

Initial volume of the gas V1 = 2.6 liters

Initial pressure of the gas P1 = 860 Torr 1.13 atm

final pressure on the gas P2 = 1000 Torr 1.315 atm

final volume of the gas after pressure change V2 =?

From the data given above, the law used is :

Boyles Law equation:

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

   = 1.13 X 2.6/ 1.31

  = 2.24 Liters

If the pressure is increased to 1000 Torr or 1.315 atm the volume changes to 2.24 liters. Initially the volume was 2.6 litres and the pressure was 860 torr.
