Which of the following is NOT true about relative dating?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Igoryamba3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It uses fossils to help pinpoint the ages of rocks.

Explanation:

Radiocarbon  dating can not be used  to determine the age of rocks.

Carbon dating works well only for objects that are less than 50,000 years.  Most rocks are far older than that. Over time, carbon-14 decays gradually  into nitrogen. Hence, we can not really use radiocarbon dating to determine the absolute age of a rock sample since the carbon-14 in the fossils of ancient rock samples may have completely decayed.

For the reaction, identify the Lewis acid and the Lewis base.<br> AlF3 + CH3F → CH3+ + [AlF4]-
Ivanshal [37]
Answer:
            AlF₃ is Lewis Acid

            CH₃F is Lewis Base

Explanation:
                     According to Lewis concept ,"those compounds which donate pair of electrons are called as Lewis Base and those accepting pair of electrons are called as Lewis Acid.

In Given Reaction,
<span>                               AlF</span>₃<span> + CH</span>₃<span>F → CH</span>₃⁺<span> + [AlF</span>₄<span>]</span>⁻

AlF₃ is acting as acid because the octet of Al is not complete, hence it has tendency to accept electrons.

CH₃F is acting as a base because the F atom containing three lone pair of electrons can donate it to Al metal resulting in the formation of electrophile i.e. CH₃⁺.

A 3.3 g sample of sodium hydrogen carbonate is added to a solution of acetic acid weighing 10.3 g. The two substances react, rel
Zanzabum

Answer:

1.73g of CO2.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

NaHCO3 + CH3COOH → CH3COONa + H2O + CO2

Next we shall determine the masses of NaHCO3 and CH3COOH that reacted and the mass of CO2 produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of NaHCO3 = 23 + 1 + 12 + (16x3) = 84g/mol

Mass of NaHCO3 from the balanced equation = 1 x 84 = 84g

Molar mass of CH3COOH = 12 + (3x1) + 12 + 16 + 16 + 1 = 60g/mol

Mass of CH3COOH from the balanced equation = 1 x 60 = 60g

Molar mass of CO3 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol

Mass of CO2 from the balanced equation = 1 x 44 = 44g

From the balanced equation above,

84g of NaHCO3 reacted with 60g of CH3COOH to produce 44g of CO2.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant of the reaction. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

84g of NaHCO3 reacted with 60g of CH3COOH.

Therefore, 3.3g of NaHCO3 will react with = (3.3 x 60)/84 = 2.36g of CH3COOH.

From the above illustration, we can see that only 2.36g of CH3COOH out of 10.3g given reacted completely with 3.3g of NaHCO3. Therefore, NaHCO3 is the limiting reactant while CH3COOH is the excess reactant.

Finally, can determine the mass of CO2 produced during the reaction.

In this case the limiting reactant will be used because it will produce the mass yield of CO2 as all of it were used up in the reaction. The limiting reactant is NaHCO3 and the mass of CO2 produced is obtained as shown below:

From the balanced equation above,

84g of NaHCO3 reacted to produce 44g of CO2.

Therefore, 3.3g of NaHCO3 will react to produce = (3.3 x 44)/84 = 1.73g of CO2.

Therefore, 1.73g of CO2 is released during the reaction.

The value of ΔG° at 221.0°C for the formation of phosphorous trichloride from its constituent elements, P2(g) + 3Cl2(g) → 2PCl3(
densk [106]

Answer:

ΔG    = - 590.20 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The formula for calculating Gibb's Free Energy  can be written as:

ΔG    =    ΔH - TΔS

Given That:

ΔH = -720.5 kJ/mol

T = 221.0°C = (221.0 + 273.15) = 494.15 K

ΔS° = -263.7 J/K

So; ΔS° = -0.2637 kJ/K if being converted from joule to Kilo-joule

Since we are all set, let replace our given data in the above equation:

ΔG    =  (-720.5 kJ/mol) - (494.15 K) ( - 0.2637 kJ/K)

ΔG    =  (-720.5 kJ/mol) - (- 130.30755)

ΔG    =  -720.5 kJ/mol + 130.30755

ΔG    =  -590.192645 kJ/mol

ΔG    = - 590.20 kJ/mol

Thus, The value of ΔG° at 221.0°C for the formation of phosphorous trichloride from its constituent elements, P2(g) + 3Cl2(g) → 2PCl3(g) is <u>-590.20</u> kJ/mol.
