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 =

Which solution contains the smallest number of moles of sucrose (c12h22o11, molar mass = 342.30 g/mol)? 2,000 ml of a 5.0 × 10–5
Iteru [2.4K]

> 2,000 mL of a 5.0 × 10–5% (w/v) sucrose solution 

5.0 × 10–3 g/mL * 2000 mL * (1 mol / 342.30 g) = 0.0292 mol

<span>
> 2,000 mL of a 5.0 ppm sucrose solution</span>

5 grams / 1000000 mL * 2000 mL* (1 mol / 342.30 g) = 0.0000292 mol

 <span>
> 20 mL of a 5.0 M sucrose solution </span>

5.0 M * 0.020 L = 0.1 mol

 

 

Answer:

A negative ion is (larger/smaller) than its parent atom.<br> Why?
Kay [80]

Answer:

When an atom attracts extra electrons it becomes a negative ion. The negative ion is larger than the original atom. The positive nucleus remains the same, with the same attractive force. However, this attractive force is now pulling on more electrons and therefore has less effect.

Or

Positive ions are formed by removing one or more electrons from the outermost region of the atom. The opposite is true of negative ions. When electrons are added to form an anion, the increased electron-electron repulsions cause the electrons to spread out more in space. Thus, anions are larger than their parent atoms.
