Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope used to date organic material. Its consistent rate of decay allows the age of an object to be determined by the proportion of carbon-14 to other carbon isotopes. This process is called radiocarbon dating. Carbon-14 is also used as a radioactive tracer for medical tests.
Answer: 207.2
Explanation:
In imprecise terms, one AMU is the average of the proton rest mass and the neutron rest mass. This is approximately 1.67377 x 10 -27 kilogram (kg), or 1.67377 x 10 -24 gram (g). The mass of an atom in AMU is roughly equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Answer:
The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12.
Explanation:
The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12 because the mass of carbon is 12 which is the exactly the sum of protons and neutrons.
Oxygen was also considered the standard for some time but later this stander was rejected because in natural O¹⁷ and O¹⁸ were also present and this create the two different atomic mass tables.
AMU:
Atomic mass unit is define as the 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
C12 has six neutron and six protons in the nucleus.
This unit is used to express the masses of atoms. We know that masses of atoms are very small and we do not have any such type of balance that can measure very small quantity. So that is way we use this scale to measure small quantity. For example, according to this scale
relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu
relative atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu
relative atomic mass of uranium is 238.0289 amu
relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 amu
Answer:
Explanation:
Among the most recent systems for the exploitation of geothermal energy, the most promising are the third generation ones, also called EGS (Enhanced Geothermal Systems). Their technology allows to dramatically improve energetic efficiency of both geothermal wells and dry rocks.

calculate moles of both reagents given and the moles of FeS that each of them would form if they were in excess
moles = mass / molar mass
moles Fe = 7.62 g / 55.85 g/mol
= 0.1364 moles
1 mole Fe produces 1 mole FeS
Therefore 7.62 g Fe can form 0.1364 moles FeS
moles S = 8.67 g / 32.07 g/mol
= 0.2703 moles S
1 mole S can from 1 moles FeS
So 8.67 g S can produce 0.2703 moles FeS
The limiting reagent is the one that produces the least product. So Fe is limiting.
The maximum amount of FeS possible is from complete reaction of all the limiting reagent.
We have already determined that the Fe can form up to 0.1364 moles of FeS, so this is max amount of FeS you can get.
Convert to mass
hope this helps :)
