The artifact appears to have gone through 2 half-lives.
One half-life for Carbon-14 is 5730 years.
After 5730 years, there would be 1/2 as much carbon-14
After another 5730 years, there would be 1/4 as much carbon-14

The answer is roughly 11,460 years

A syringe initially holds a sample of gas with a volume of 285 mL at 355 K and 1.88 atm. To what temperature must the gas in the

Ivahew [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The temperature to which the gas in the syringe must be heated is 720.5 K

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume when temperature and pressure has changed, we use the equation given by combined gas law.

The equation follows:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1,V_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

$P_2,V_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

We are given:

$P_1=1.88atm\\V_1=285mL\\T_1=355K\\P_2=2.50atm\\V_2=435mL\\T_2=?K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1.88atm\times 285mL}{355K}=\frac{2.50atm\times 435mL}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\frac{2.50\times 435\times 355}{1.88\times 285}=720.5K$

Hence, the temperature to which the gas in the syringe must be heated is 720.5 K

How many moles are present in 54.8 mL of mercury if the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL?

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

3.72 mol Hg

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

Reading a Periodic Table
Using Dimensional Analysis
Density = Mass over Volume

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

D = 13.6 g/mL

54.8 mL Hg

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of Hg - 200.59 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Find</u>

13.6 g/mL = x g / 54.8 mL

x = 745.28 g Hg

<u>Step 4: Convert</u>

<u /> $745.28 \ g \ Hg(\frac{1 \ mol \ Hg}{200.59 \ g \ Hg} )$ = 3.71544 mol Hg

<u>Step 5: Check</u>

<em>We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

3.71544 mol Hg ≈ 3.72 mol Hg
