Answer:
4Ba(CO3) -> 4BaO2 + 2CO2
Explanation:
I looked at the oxygens to balance this. Ba(CO3) normally has 3 oxygens. BaO2 and CO2 have 4 oxygens total. The common multiple of 3 & 4 is 12. So there should be 12 oxygens on both sides. Then I just found the coefficients that would give 12 oxygens on both sides and can balance the rest of the atoms.
Answer:
K₂Cr₂O₇(s) ⇒ 2 K⁺(aq) + Cr₂O₇²⁻(aq)
Explanation:
Potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) is a strong electrolyte, that is, when dissolved in water (the medium), it dissociates in cation potassium (K⁺) and anion dichromate (Cr₂O₇²⁻). The balanced dissociation equation is:
K₂Cr₂O₇(s) ⇒ 2 K⁺(aq) + Cr₂O₇²⁻(aq)
Answer:
2 electrons
Explanation:
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons and to be stable it needs 8. That means it needs 2 more electrons to have a full octet.
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
42960 years
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Remaining mass of C-14 in a bone is 0.3125 g
- Original mass of C-14 on the bone is 80.0 g
- Half life of C-14 is 5370 years
We are required to determine the age of the bone;
- Remaining mass = Original mass × 0.5^n , where n is the number of half lives.
Therefore;
0.3125 g = 80.0 g × 0.5^n
3.90625 × 10^-3 = 0.5^n
- Introducing logarithm on both sides;
log 3.90625 × 10^-3 = n log 0.5
Solving for n
n = log 3.90625 × 10^-3 ÷ log 0.5
= 8
- Therefore, the number of half lives is 8
- But, 1 half life is 5370 years
- Therefore;
Age of the rock = 5370 years × 8
= 42960 years
Thus, the bone is 42960 years old
