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

What is the molar mass of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) ?
agasfer [191]

Answer: 15.1 grams

Given reaction:

Na2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 → 2NaOH + CaCO3

Mass of Na2CO3 = 20.0 g

Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 105.985 g/mol

# moles of Na2CO3 = 20/105.985 = 0.1887 moles

Based on the reaction stoichiometry: 1 mole of Na2CO3 produces 2 moles of NaOH

# moles of NaOH produced = 0.1887*2 = 0.3774 moles

Molar mass of NaOH = 22.989 + 15.999 + 1.008 = 39.996 g/mol

Mass of NaOH produced = 0.3774*39.996 = 15.09 grams

What is the ph of a 0.45 m solution of aniline (c6h5nh2)? (pkb  9.40)?
mote1985 [20]

Answer is: pH of aniline is 9.13.<span>
Chemical reaction: C</span>₆H₅NH₂(aq)+ H₂O(l) ⇌ C₆H₅NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).

pKb(C₆H₅NH₂) = 9.40.

Kb(C₆H₅NH₂) = 10∧(-9.4) = 4·10⁻¹⁰.

c₀(C₆H₅NH₂) = 0.45 M.

c(C₆H₅NH₃⁺) = c(OH⁻) = x.

c(C₆H₅NH₂) = 0.45 M - x.

Kb = c(C₆H₅NH₃⁺) · c(OH⁻) / c(C₆H₅NH₂).

4·10⁻¹⁰ = x² /  (0.45 M - x). 

Solve quadratic equation: x = c(OH⁻) = 0.0000134 M.

pOH = -log(0.0000134 M.) = 4.87.

pH = 14 - 4.87 = 9.13.

Phase changes happen as the temperature changes.
All matter can move from one state to another. It may require extreme temperatures or extreme pressures, but it can be done. Sometimes a substance doesn't want to change states. You have to use all of your tricks when that happens. To create a solid, you might have to decrease the temperature by a huge amount and then add pressure. For example, oxygen (O2) will solidify at -361.8 degrees Fahrenheit (-218.8 degrees Celsius) at standard pressure. However, it will freeze at warmer temperatures when the pressure is increased.

What are the products obtained in the electrolysis of molten nai?
yanalaym [24]
Answer is: sodium (Na) and iodine (I₂).

<span> First ionic bonds in this salt are separeted because of heat: 
</span>NaI(l) → Na⁺(l) + I⁻(l).

Reaction of reduction at cathode(-): Na⁺(l) + e⁻ → Na(l) /×2.

2Na⁺(l) + 2e⁻ → 2Na(l).

Reaction of oxidation at anode(+): 2I⁻(l) → I₂(l) + 2e⁻.

The anode is positive and the cathode is negative.
