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

Write the charge balance for a MgSO 4 and NaNO 3 solution that contains H + , OH − , Mg 2 + , HSO − 4 , SO 2 − 4 , MgHSO + 4 , M
irga5000 [103]

Answer :

MgSO_4 solution contains Mg^{2+} and SO_4^{2-}

NaNO_3 solution contains Na^{+} and NO_3^{-}

Explanation :

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

All the polyatomic ions always form an ionic compound.

Polyatomic ions : It is a charged species that composed of two or more atoms and these charged species are bonded by the covalent bond.

The given compounds are, MgSO_4 and NaNO_3

MgSO_4 is an ionic compound which is formed by the combination of Mg^{2+} cation and SO_4^{2-} anion.

and,

NaNO_3 is an ionic compound which is formed by the combination of Na^{+} cation and NO_3^{-} anion.

Except for the bolt, note the difference between the calculated volumes and the volume found by the displacement method. Which m
victus00 [196]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The most accurate method of determining the volume of an object, is the water displacement method. It has the peculiar advantage of working well with irregular solids.

There are often errors that prevent exact measurements of the volume of objects. This makes the water displacement method a preferred and easier method of determining the volume of an object.

Substrate: N-benzoyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester (BTEE) 0.001M in 50% aqueous
andreev551 [17]

0.1 mL of the stock solution of the enzyme is taken and made up to 5.0 mL with 0.001M HCl in order to prepare a 50-fold diluted enzyme.

<h3>What is dilution?</h3>

Dilution is a process of making a solution of lower concentration from a solution of higher concentration by the addition of solvent to a given volume of the solution of higher concentration.

Dilution of solutions is done using the dilution formula in order to determine the given volume of diluent or stock solution required. The dilution formula is given below:

  • C1V1 = C2V2

where:

  • C1 = Initial concentration of enzyme
  • C2 = Final concentration of enzyme
  • V1 = Initial volume
  • V2 = Final volume

For the enzyme dilution;

C1 = 1 mg/mL

C2 = 1/50 mg/ml = 0.02 mg/ml

V= ?

V2 = 5 ml

V1 = C2V2/C1

V1 =  0.02 * 5/1 = 0.1 mL

Therefore, 0.1 mL of the stock solution of the enzyme is taken and made up to 5.0 mL with 0.001M HCl in order to prepare a 50-fold diluted enzyme.

What is the osmotic pressure, in atm, of a 0.287 M solution of MgCl2 at
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Π = 21.9 atm

Explanation:

The equation used to find osmotic pressure is:

Π = iMRT

In this formula,

   >> Π = osmotic pressure (atm)

   >> i = van't Hoff factor

   >> M = molarity (M)

   >> R = constant (0.0821 atm*L/mol*K)

   >> T = temperature (K)

Remember, van't Hoff factor is the amount of ions the species (MgCl₂) dissociates into while in solution. MgCl₂ dissociates into 3 ions. These ions are Mg²⁺ and 2 Cl⁻.

The temperature needs to be in Kelvin....

37.0 °C + 273.15 = 310.15 K

You now know the value of all the variables.

Π = iMRT

Π = (3)(0.287 M)(0.0821 atm*L/mol*K)(310.15 K)

Π = 21.9 atm
