Answer:

11460 years

Explanation:

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (No/N)

t1/2 = half life of the carbon

t = age of the fossil

No= amount of radioactive material originally present

N= amount of radioactive material present at time=t

No= mass of carbon + nitrogen = 5g

0.693/5730 = 2.303/t log (5/1.25)

1.21 ×10^-4 = 1.3866/t

t= 1.3866/1.21 ×10^-4

t= 11460 years

A 7.27-gram sample of a compound is dissolved in 250. grams of benzene. The freezing point of this solution is 1.02°C below that
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The correct answer is 146 g/mol

Explanation:

<em>Freezing point depression</em> is a colligative property related to the number of particles of solute dissolved in a solvent. It is given by:

ΔTf = Kf x m

Where ΔTf is the freezing point depression (in ºC), Kf is a constant for the solvent and m is the molality of solution. From the problem, we know the following data:

ΔTf = 1.02ºC

Kf = 5.12ºC/m

From this, we can calculate the molality:

m = ΔTf/Kf = 1.02ºC/(5.12ºC/m)= 0.199 m

The molality of a solution is defined as the moles of solute per kg of solvent. Thus, we can multiply the molality by the mass of solvent in kg (250 g= 0.25 kg) to obtain the moles of solute:

0.199 mol/kg benzene x 0.25 kg = 0.0498 moles solute

There are 0.0498 moles of solute dissolved in the solution. To calculate the molar mass of the solute, we divide the mass (7.27 g) into the moles:

molar mass = mass/mol = 7.27 g/(0.0498 mol) = 145.9 g/mol ≅ 146 g/mol

<em>Therefore, the molar mass of the compound is 146 g/mol </em>

How can an electron cloud be compared with a spinning airplane propeller? Both represent objects that move in a circular motion
adelina 88 [10]

The answer is that exact locations within either cannot be determined at any given moment in time.

An electron cloud be compared with a spinning airplane propeller in the manner that in both exact location within either cannot be determined at any given moment in time.

In both electron cloud as well as spinning airplane propeller, there is a probability of finding either but exact location can not be determined.
