Answer:

Age ≅ 7500 years

Explanation:

All radioactive decay is 1st order kinetics and described by the expression

A = A₀e^-kt => t = ln(A/A₀) / -k

k = 0.693 / t(half life) = (0.693 / 5730)yrs⁻¹ = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ yrs⁻¹

t = Age = [ln(0.103/0.255) / - 1.21 x 10⁻⁴] yrs = 7500 years

What element is found in liver and is needed to prevent anemia or tired blood.
DochEvi [55]


The element found in the liver that helps prevent anemia is iron.

Iron is an essential element for blood production. Close to 70% of the body's iron is found in the red blood cells. In the red blood cells it is a vital ingredient of hemoglobin, the red pigment that gives blood its red color. In the muscle cells, iron is found as myoglobin.

Iron is stored mostly in the liver as ferritin or hemosiderin.

When iron stores are finished or exhausted, the condition is called iron depletion. When the shortage of iron is severe, it results in a condition known as iron deficiency anemia whereby the red blood cells do not have enough hemoglobin.

6. If 0.500 mol NaN3 react, what mass in grams of nitrogen will result?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

21 g of N₂ are produced by the decomposition

Explanation:

The reaction is: 2 NaN3 → 2 Na + 3 N2

2 moles of sodium nitride decompose in order to produce 2 moles of Na and 3 moles of nitrogen gas.

According to stoichiometry, ratio is 2:3. Therefore we say,

2 moles of nitride can produce 3 moles of N₂

Then, 0.5 moles of NaN₃ will produce (0.5 . 3) / 2 = 0.75 moles of N₂

We convert the moles to mass, to find the answer

0.75 mol . 28 g / 1 mol = 21 g

Of the concentration units below, only ________ uses kg of solvent in its calculation.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

E) molality

Explanation:

Molality -

Molarity of a substance , is the number of moles present in a Kg of solvent .

Hence , the formula for molality is given as follow -

m = n / s

m = molality

s = mass of solvent in Kg ,

n = moles of solute ,

Hence , from the given information of the question,

The concentration unit which have Kg of solvent , is molality.
