Answer:

0.010g of C-14 would be later after 50,000 years

Explanation:

The kinetics of radioactive decay follows the equation:

Ln (N / N₀) = -kt

<em>Where N could be taken as mass after time t, </em>

<em>N₀ initial mass = 4.30g;</em>

k is rate constant = ln 2 / t(1/2)

<em>= ln 2 / 5730years = 1.2097x10⁻⁴ years ⁻¹</em>

<em />

Replacing:

Ln (N / 4.30g) = -1.2097x10⁻⁴ years ⁻¹ * 50000 years

N / 4.30 = 2.36x10⁻³

N =

Given the reaction: solid sodium reacts with chlorine gas to form solid sodium chloride How many moles of the product result fro
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

number of moles of NaCl produce = 12 mol

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to write the chemical equation of the reaction and balance it .

Na(s) + Cl2(g) → NaCl(s)

The balanced equation is as follows:

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)

1 mole(71 g) of chlorine produces 2 moles(117  g) of sodium chloride

6 mole of chlorine gas will produce ? mole of sodium chloride

cross multiply

number of moles of NaCl produce = 6 × 2

number of moles of NaCl produce = 12 moles

number of moles of NaCl produce = 12 mol
